Hi all !

With a friend we have two big scale full scratch build projects. This represent a lots of servos to fit inside those jets. We are currently having a look on possible servos for those models. We have found that SAVOX servos could be an option. We are searching for servos around 25 kg/cm torque, with no specific speed researched. We would like some HV servos.

We have just received a exemplary of this Savox servo fr test purpose : [link]http://www.intermodel.fr/savox/1653-savox-sc-1268sg-hv-62grs-25kg.html[/link]

We are happy with the whole servo and reasonnable price, but I've found there was a little too much gear slope, more than I was thinking off.


What is the advice of currently users of this servos and other SAVOX HV or non-HV servos ?
Are you using SAVOX servo on jets and what do you think of that ?

Will be happy to find here your advice.

I purchased a couple of 1258TG servos for a 50cc IMAC airplane. I too noticed the gear slop and in use find that they don't center very well.

I don't know about jets, but with RC cars, SAVOX is one of my favorite servos.

I've been using Savox 1256 TG servo's in my jets for nearly three years now, largest one is JL L39 with perfect results.
I have no problems whatsoever and trust them implicitly.
No centering or slop problems, extremely good servo for the money, would not use anything else now,

Ive been using the 1256's on the tails on my F15 ... great servo ... no issues in the past 18 months since installation ...

Thanks guys for the responses !

So it seems that with titanium gears there are no problems of slope. Problem for us, the 1256TG servo is not a HV servo.

Any other use with steel gears (SG series) ?

No more users of SAVOX servos here ? []

I think you mite find that the majority use JR, Futaba, and Hitec.

I've never known about a Savox packing up but I had two JR's burn out (with correct voltage)

Hi,

I have just bought a bunch of the savox 30kg TG servos to go into a C&C M346. I have only played with them in the workshop so far but they seem to have very little slop in the gear train, are nice and quick and no obvious signs of centring issues.

Using SWB alloy arms, the fit onto the splines was very, very tight.

Savox have been doing nice servos for some years so I'm expecting they will get the job done just fine.

The Align DS610's are standard fare in helicopters, those are made by Savox as are the JR/Spektrum 6010's and 6030's.

As for the Savox brand I've been using them in giant scale gassers w/ no issues

Titanium gears do not minimize gear play. They minimizes gear wears only.

Great servos, I've been using SAVOX (all brands) with no issues for long time on:
