RE: What are the risks of using 44 oz-in vs. 54 servos
Best bang for the buck:
$15 (CAN) Each!
hitec 485
Carbonite gears & ball bearing
45 gWeight:
66.6 oz-inTorque @ 4.8V
83.3 oz-inTorque @ 6.0V
0.22 sec/60°Speed @ 4.8V
0.18 sec/60°Torque @ 4.8V
When I was flying my kadet Mk2 I remeber using hitec 325, 44oz servos. They worked ok, but I switched them out for hitec 475 (485 replaces the 475) I noticed a BIG differance in flight! Much more responsive. With the 44oz servos the elevator seemed lazy. I would never use anything below a 475-485 other than the 225 mini metal gear.
For a cheap servo on 6 volts they are awsome! and 66oz on 4.8v is pretty good too.
