Was reading about these servos, and am confussed. some say they work better on 6V.
can you run 4or 6 to these servos ?


Thanks

you can run them on both 4v as well as 6v. they produce more torque at 6v.

Yup, if they have both a 4.8v and 6v rating you can run them on either. Most servos these days except some special use ones support both, you get both more torque, and more speed with the higher voltage.

Had a weird problem with an airplane having only 3010s. Every week I would have delayed response on one or both of the ailerons- one of them would move slower than the other or they would continue to shake even after I stopped moving the stick back and forth quickly. It didnt happen with the other surfaces because they permanently plugged into the RX whereas the ailerons would be plugged into extensions. Later, I found that when I had this problem, rubbing the contact pins in the extension connector with sand paper solved the problem. I finally gave up and began plugging the ailerons direct into the RX. It was only on that airplane, though I never used removable extensions for ailerons again and I never had the problem with other servos. Wonder whether the 3010s have higher current draws or something like that

just sounds like a bad extension

Yea, I had this issue once. and like you it was a bad connection. It acted werid like that. I cleaned toe connectors at the RX and all seemed fine, then and only when going back to nutral. they would JUMP all over the place.....

COme to find out the ext, wire had a bare spot....


Anyway: getting back to post: The 6 Volt batterys I ordered has 5 batterys connected, unlike the 4 volt with 4 of them.

ALso I was going to connect 2 battery packs.

I have a lot of money invested in this plane and really dont want to screw something up...


Thanks for all the informantion EV1.

How are you going to connect the two packs? The right way would be to have two switches. Plug each pack into it's own switch and then plug each switch into a separate place on the RX.
