Feather Servo on Nitro Throttle
 

Hey guys,

Can I use a feather servo for a Nitro throttle servo? The servo is a Hitec feather servo w/ .15oz of torgue at 4.8v and the engine is a Evo .52. I have one and hooked it up and it works fine but I haven't tried it while running the engine yet. Thanks for your time.

I usually like at least 25oz on my throttle. Hs 81 or the cs 12 are my favorite throttle servos.

I have had good luck with the HS55's. The barrel must be free to rotate of course.

Ive had good success whith my antivibration mount method. Basically I use about 3 layers of doublesidded tape to attach servo to fuse and then use a zip tie to secure it. drill two holes on each side of servo and use zip tie like a strap. Before using this method I had servo failures due to vibration on feather servo. I also use straight ro to attach servo to throttle arm and locate the servo as close as possible to keep direct free linkage.
