hitec servos?
 

hey guys, i was looking servos for the somenzini yak 54 i am getting and since i'm young and don't make a lot of money(spent it all on a 10X) i was looking at hitec and could never find the price on any of them off their website. If anyone has any suggestions on what i should get and/or the price of the servos from hitec, i would greatly appreciate them, thanks again.

hi, you could try the 645MG guives you 9kg of torque at 6v, or the digi 6945MG will be plenty at 11kg, as for price over the pond ? you want something over 9kg for each surface, how many servo's for the ailerons

RE: hitec servos?
 

1 per ail. six in all.

RE: hitec servos?
 

any idea what the 645mg servo costs?

do the 645MG for $39.99
I have it in my flip 3d on 4.8volts and they are brilliant. But at 6v they're 9.6kg, you could put a lipo batt in a reg it down to 6v so they will be the same strenght throughout the flight.

Thanks for the info i'll probably go with the 645mgs.

KPStewart,

www.servocity.com is a pretty good reference on hitec and futaba servos. they have specs listed on the site and what i have found to be a good price. sometimes you may find cheaper but they are gonna be close. I recently got a batch of 625mg's for a h9 twist and a cg extreme-330. i'm using hitec 5925's and 5945's in a bigger plane and have loved their performance to date. good luck!

Why would you spend all your money on a JR 10X and a nice Yak and shortcut the most important part of a plane?

RE: hitec servos?
 

Is their something wrong with the hitec servos?

RE: hitec servos?
 

Either i could get the hitec servos now and be flying the plane in my backyard practicing imac when i can't get to the field with my 33%, or i could wait until christmas and get JR servos all around but christmas is a long ways away and that yak is really pretty, i dunno but the hitec servos are looking good!:D

RE: hitec servos?
 

I like Hitec servos, I use them too, I just don't think putting 645s is smart. I would at least go with a sport digital, even if it has less torque.

RE: hitec servos?
 

Which servo do you recommend?

RE: hitec servos?
 

Any of their sport digitals, or any digital you can afford that has at least 60 ounces of torque. Reason being the digitals have much better holding power then any analog and are a more precise servo.

RE: hitec servos?
 

Thanks for the heads up i didn't know the 645 was not a digital.

RE: hitec servos?
 

could you name one of the hitec digitals.

RE: hitec servos?
 

Sure, Hitec 5945, 5925, 5645, 5625, 5735. There are newer ones now though www.servocity.com has a lot of them.

RE: hitec servos?
 

Thanks again!

RE: hitec servos?
 

I would go with the Hitec 5475 digitals over the non-digitals listed. They run about $34.00 each.
