Great info. I wonder why the Savox servo took more current. It's funny, here we are looking into how much power it takes to operate a throttle while a different thread has guys telling someone that Futaba 148 servos will work on his 1/3 scale Weeks Special. Only on RCU LOL
Wow, regarding the 148s. OK in their day but certainly not for that application.
I'm not sure why the Savox servo drew more current than the others other then it just seems very active. Seems to be working all the time even without a load connected..... very tight deadband. Any small load resulted in quite a bit of current draw. Seems like a very good servo though so it must just be its nature. A bit more gear play than I would prefer though.
