Default RE: Digital servo questions


ORIGINAL: rwong21

I brought one only for the steering. You can see a better respond for the steering. I change it for the throttle and I cannt see big difference. In my conclution, you put the digital servo in the steering, you have more control of the car for the corner of the track.
My buggy have 1 analog for the throttle and 1 digital for the steering.

I dont want to buy another digital servor for the throttle for three reason:
1.- Two digital servor they drain the battery quicker.
2.- The price is big diference.
3.- The digital servor for throttle you cannt see a lot of performance.
This is a very one sided view...the speed / torque rating depends on the servo you buy not whether it's digital or not.....I use the JR8611 for steering and the Futaba 9451 for throttle...you can't tell me ANY analog servo gives you .1 speed at 130"/lbs of torque...as a general rule for which ones to get, for steering get something in .15 or faster time and at least 130"/lbs of torque....for Throttle use anything faster than .12 and minimum 100"/lbs.....the T/B servo does need ot have torque if you want your buggy to stop ....Now the ones I chose I did so because I was tired of having steering servos blow up all the time...the JR series has been MORE than enough....I have yet to kill one and I've run over 12 gallons on each of the vehicles I'm using them on......yes they are more money, but aren't you worth it???
