Default HITEC 85MG, DITTO

This is by far the best servos for combat. I started out with HITEC225 they break gears easily even in SSC, I then went to Hitec 81 and they have centering problems so I now use them for throttle only since there is no center problem, and now for the Kicker, my 3 new planes for this season have 64" winspans with 28"X 1 1/2" of aileron each side, they are all Jett 30 powered and go like heck. I use a HITEC 85MG one for each side. With 3 planes identical in every way I knew one of them had a slower axial roll rate than did the other two at the first outing. Since I use a JR 10X (big JR fan from 85') as a combat radio and set all planes up identical throws using there own specific model memmory, using a CENTRAL HOBBIES accurate throw gauge I was puzzled. The last contest someone wondered what servos I used and said back to me while looking at the model, OH HITEC 81's,,,, YIKES now it dawned on me, I screwed up,,,,,,,,

I have put in over 50 rounds of combat with 85MG in various models and I have not stripped one or had one quit on me yet. The Hitec 81 would quit or jitter in one outing. There real good for throttle servos thats about it.........
