Default What servos for Zirloi P-47 1/5 scale

Hi. Would like to know what type of servos people would recommend for the Ziroli P-47 1/5 scale. I am putting a DA 100 inline into her and will be doing a lot of scale detail.
Thanks
Joel

Hitec 645mg. In my opinion, digital servos in a Warbird are over kill. If you want to waste your money on digital go ahead, but you will not see a great improvement in performance to justify the extra cost.

The 645MG is "the" giant warbird servo around here. No need for more than that.

If I was going to use digitals, I'd be wanting to try the new D645MW.

I'm using a number of the D645 / 625 and they are a great servo for the $$. Just a few $ more than the old trusty 645MG and they share the same mechanics. The overall performance is much improved over the old analog 645MG and a huge improvement over the older digital 5645. Unlike traditional digital servos, these are virtually silent and don't have any of the usual digital servo sing. Much more precise centering than their analog cousins and these are just a few of the improvements. I highly recommend these new D series servos over the older analog 645 / 625.

Thanks. Yes I had a look at these at tower hobbies. I think I will go with digital servos.

That's really good to hear. I had was hoping the performance and centering would be an improvement over the 5645/5625 servos. Sounds like it is and I'll be trying some on my next build.

Turnegy 1501's check out hobby king site and look at there tourque numbers. Buy extra and compare movement and get rid of the bad ones. China nuff said

Turnegy 1501's buy extra and throw away the bad ones. The torque numbers are huge but you have to be quality control. China nuff said

I'm considering these servos in lieu of Hitec 645s. PowerHD LF-20MG Metal Gear Digital High Torque Servo | Value Hobby

A friend suggested them, saying that he has had good results.

I'd be interested to know if anyone else has experience with them.

I just put these in a ESM 50cc arf. Hoping to test fly soon. Tested on the bench for an hour each, no problems. Ive used well over 50 of the 1501s. I have some that in a FW thats been flying for 4 years. No issue at all. They just dont center well. Ive found that if you get a bad one, its dead on arrival.

On another note, I have 8611’s in my Robart/Ziroli Jug. I dont skimp on big builds.
