You have to be able to set the end points with a digital servo or you risk burning it up.


If you want to stay analog, I would suggest looking at the Airtronics brands. They have a couple of high quality analog servos that put out 200oz and have a very fast .10s sweep. I know several people that run Airtronics 358s with metal gear conversions in their truggies and they are really nice servos.

Hey guys- FWI: You should go with the 5955TG and not the 5995TG for this application. First off the 5955 offers a heatsink case which helps the servos durability and it is set to standard travel out of the box for the same price. With the 5995 robot servo you have to reduce your EPA's which will cause you to lose resolution (steps in the travel) so it will not be as smooth.

The biggest advantage of the 5955TG vs any other servo on the market is that it develops its power so much sooner in the travel. It's putting out over 200in/oz just off of center, where most servos take almost half the sweep to get up to 70% of their maximum torque. This will make the vehicle much more responsive with small inputs.

If you are looking at an analog servo, the new 985MG offers the same performance of the Air't 358. Yes, the 985MG is rated at .13sec@172in/oz vs. .10sec@200in/oz but Air't uses a fully charged 5 cell pack + 10% to rate their servos where Hitec uses 6V even. Both servo on the same test rig showed the same results. Compare for yourself and see... Hitec/Futaba, and JR servos will be rated .03sec slower than an equal speed Airtronics. So .13sec Hitec/Futaba/JR = .10sec Airtronics.

Just get the Hitec 5955TG and be done with it.

but is the transmitter above suffice to run digital servos?

Almost every radio can handle digital servos; you just need to make sure to use a good battery with them like a 5 cell 1100+mah. Alkaline batteries will not work for the receiver and high powered servos.

JR 9000T torque monster!

stoned_heckler

I use one of the stock steering servos and they turn the wheels all the way when its on the ground. but th really doesnt mean ne thing except its power full. more of a bragging write. in besides its mostly the driver. timing is key to everything. but my truggy gets a 645mg i think..dunno buts it turns my tires fast as helll

how much TQ do the stock servos make? I have an older metal gear high TQ servo thats makes 94 TQ at 6V and was wondering if I would be better of with it vs the two stockers

my vote goes to 5955TG......this looks like the last servo i'll ever need to buy......got it for $105......works like a charm:-0

ScRacing

Can i use this servo with the stock radio, and can i use the 5955 with it as well ?

can you sue this servo????

and_des

Just got the 5955tg , fast and strong best money i've spent for a servo yet.

Are you guys sure that it needs all that torque?

I'm using one Hitec 625MG on steering and one on the engine/brake.

94oz metal gear at 0.15 and it's working like a charm.

Uglysteve

yes and yes. I assume you are planning on using the 645 for throttle and the 5955 for steering?

ScRacing

Well i can get a 5955 for $45 new, and i am working on a deal for a hitec agressor radio, is it any good? And well you guys know how deals go, most the time they don't work out so if i do spend $$$ on a servo i want it to wrok on both radios.

how about this one, is this good for steering, and is it digital?????? its very cheap lol

Ive got the Hitec HSC-5955 Titanium Gear High Speed Servo U and the Hitec HSC-5997 Titanium Gear High Speed Servo U...and at 6v with a 2500 flat pack WOW, work amazingly great. I LOVE digi servo's

jnev

currently I'm using the stock dual-servo setup which works ok, though I'm considering getting the 5955. if I do it won't be for a while but it is tempting...

SIM2U

Yeah I know what you mean...puts a nice big dent in the budget.[:-]

Mr. Mugen

try the 5995 and get wowed (but you do need a good radio)

SIM2U

Do you mean the HSR 5995...? This one: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXHZS1&P=ML

The robot servo...? With the plastic outer case?

The HSC models are perhaps the same price and specific for RC therefore somewhat better for this context, the 5955 has more than enough torque for the throttle and the HSC 5997 has over and about 333.29oz.in of torque on a 6v flat pack, which, is a bit over kill but more than enough for any mosnter truck. Its also totally programmable and more than fast enough. Also with the Titanium gears, its a bit lighter and more than strong enough to handle any almost all situations under intellegent use. Also I thought the 5995 was somewhat discontinued at most places...? Could be wrong.

With the same price range there abouts and similar specs, I would go the HSC model.

SIM2U

The 5955 is great for the throttle although you can use it for the steering of course, as it was designed for. But I put the more beefier 5997 on for the steering just to give it some serious balls, and for the same price, why not.

zak33_33

ok, just one last tiny bit of help.
This servo looks good and is in my price range, but it says it will suit 1/5 scale trucks, will it fit in my revo?

Well im not sure as ther are not measurements but to effort a guess from the description I would say a strong...NOPE. Its too big.
