Default SERVOS FOR HBK2

Is there a PREFERRED SERVO for the HoneyBeeKing 2 ?

I am thinking of the JR285 but what is the GENERAL CONSENSUS on this subject ?

The most used ones are the hitech hs-55's. But I am using towerpro sg90 at 4 for about 22.00 couldnt pass them up. They seem to work great alot better then the stock one a little more play then I would like but for the price you cant beat them.

I'm just using the stock esky ones but also have a full set of sg90 and ds285's for when they die. I'm thinking of getting the 3114's for my belt cp and moving the sg90s on there over to the king2.

What's the word on the Spektrum digitals (SPMDSP75)?
The specs seem pretty decent for the price.

those servos aren't that good, they are used stock on the eflite blade 400 and apparently some ppl are having troubles with them. also, i hear that due to the demand on the blade 400 they don't expect enough excess stock to sell the servos on their own until March or so.

Well, my LHS has quite a few. I figured for $16 a piece for a digital it was worth a try.
What is it that makes them "not that good"?

I don't know, I've never used them but some ppl have reported issues of gears stripping easily. again since I don't own them i can't say for sure. if you're looking for good servos then get the hitecs with karbonite gears or the futaba 3114. they aren't digital but so what? the only heli's that i use digital servos on are my hurricane 550 and trex 600N pro, all my 450 size machines have analogs on the cyclic.

if you want to give them a try, please do so and let us know how they fare. they might do a lot better on a 300 size electric compared to the 400 size blade 400.
