Servo gears for Esky servo. Installed a set of these into an esky servo yesterday and it worked great.

ah.. I believe the "glue", the yellow stuff from the chip is actually chemicals from the chip leaking.
It's probably gonna respond slower compared to other ones FTY

I just bought 5 sets from Jim @ jag hobbys myself, I got a crashed Yak 55 from a buddy and 2 of the 3 servos were stripped. I wouldn't buy the replacement gears if i didn't believe in the servos and thier ability to preform. I have a bunch of the HS 55's and it seems they have more issues than the Esky ones do. I have no experience with the digital ones but I still feel with proper care.....any servo will do it's job.

Of all the things I ever lost....................................... I miss my mind the most!

Thank you guys for all your good info. I know HS-50 and 55 are crap but i heard the HS-65 is a good one exept it's price. Would it be fit onto the king and belt cp?(for tail and cyclic) What do you think?

the HS-65KB is about the top of the line for a analog servo as far as quality for the price. I installed them for my cyclic as they are fast very strong and no play at all in the gears. The HS-65MG (metal gears) have play in the gears as most metal gear servos do and are not that suitable for cyclic not that they arent a good servo but you don't want any play in the cyclic if you can avoid it. As for a tail servo they are not that good due to not being as fast as some of the compitition for the price.
They will fit just fine with a little hand work on the frame and the stock esky mounts as they are a little deeper then the stock servos. You will also need to change all to ball links to fit them properly and poss bend a control horn with a heat gun on the front if you are running a 28mm motor such as a Esky 3800.
Hitec HS-55 has issues and always has on Heli applications and the HS-50 is very small, light and fast and designed for 1/2 airplanes NOT Helis such as the King ll.

Servos for helicopters are inexpensive comparison to my buggy and monster truck servos. For my buggies and monster trucks I must have around 200 oz torque, metal gears speeds of about .11 to .09 at a cost of $100 and up each. [X(]

Thanks agian funflier for the quick reply - I know what youre meaning by playing gears in the cyclic, thats the problem which I already have. Servo arms moving slightly by hand (about 1 mm) even when they're locked. I think thats why the heli starts moving around in the air without any input in a absolutly no wind condition.

What is your suggestion about a good tail servo in the JR and Hitec world?

That's a problem with Esky servos even when new.
Only talking about analog here as digital is a whole new ball game as your gyro has to be able to "talk digital" to reap their benifits.
As far as Hitec only one that I would look at is actually the HS-56kb. The HS-45 is much to small and that only leaves the 55,56 65 unless you go to a full size servo the HS-81.
the 50 as I said is much too small along with the 45 and the 55 has issues so your left with the expensive 65hb or the 56hb both are in the 21-28$ range.
Actually I am running a Riteway 9g (it's a rebadged Towerpro 9g) servo at the moement and it is doing fine with no play in it however I had one that did wear out after about 3 months but at the inflated price of 9$ every 3-4 monthes I can live with that. Actually only one wore out, 2 others meet untimely ends, one from a boom strike and one from being fooled with and run out to its limit and jammed.
The are about as fast of faster then the 56 or 65 and have plenty or torque. Many people sell them under diff names. Might check out servo city also
http://www.servocity.com/.
As far as JR servos in the min or sub min I dont remember seeing any as most of them are rather slow, JR is pushing there digitals and they are expensive.
If you want small and super fast the Futaba 3114 is very very fast and strong it makes a lousy cyclic servo as the arms are much to thin for the heavy loads cyclic puts on them. I had 5 fail over a period of time when I went to a heavy plastic blade and a higher headspeed (tore the balls right out of the thin arms due to the force required to move the heavy cyclic (cyclic is like a big gyroscope the faster it turns (or heavier the blades) the stronger it resists any outside force to change its direction). But for a tail servo it is great, I cant think of any servo for 15$ that can even come close to the speed and power of that little servo, just be sure you drill out the hole for the ball link and put a small nut on the back of the ball link so it cant pull out.

It seems no servo will last forever. So I'm going to buy 3 HS-65KB for the cyclic first. they're about $25 here, and if I had some more money left in my wallet then going to buy a s3114 for the tail.

You are an expert guy funflier, Thank you for sharing your experiences.

cheers

check ebay for HS-65KB as they usually go for about 20$ each (buy now) and shipping is like 5 total if your not in a rush. I bought 3l ike that for 66$ delivered a few months ago.

Just another quick question funflier - you mentioned above and the previous page the Tower pro 9 is a better servo comparing to the e-sky 0500, I found it here around $9 bucks. Do you think its better for me buy it first then when I become better flier buy those expensive servos. Cause i crash alot. And i dont know buy them for the cyclic or tail or all? Then are they good for the belt cp too?

Thank you so much

The guy at LHS also scared me not to buy a HH gyro if you using it with those cheap servos cause a HH gyro would kill them in a few fligths. Is that true?

Thanks again

Buy the sg 90 servos and a telelbee gyro. You will see a 100% diff right away once its set up, much easier to fly or at least hover for starters.
No, it wont fry the servo at all. Only way that happens is when you turn the gain up too high, it works the servo to death, and you can fry a expensive servo as easy as a cheap one. Often the reason the tail servo fails is the gain is set so high (right on the verge of tail wag) that the servo is running all the time trying to correct and if the tail is a little sloppy or binding the servo works twice as hard and just wears out! Think your LHS is scaring you into putting big money in a digital gryo and servo combo which is over kill as it costs more then the heli to start with. Most of us fly without a digital gyro just fine, just remember why you bought this heli ...cheap cheap cheap...
Its a lot easier to fly with good equipment then shoddy makeshift parts (stock Esky).
You will spend more time enjoying the ride then enduring the pucker effect while trying to keep the heli under some semblence of control.
Bad assumption many make is to try to make due with poor quality and/or sloppy parts thinking they will save money if it crashs. Fact is its a lot easier to fly a well dialed in heli and that means replaceing sloppy servos, links etc and fine tuning what you have. If it handles more responsive and is more manageable, much less likely you will crash.
Crashing less means you save money which can be better spent on even more toys or mods for them!

Thank you so much funflier for your great advise - Your 100% right, the guy at LHS kinda pushed me to buy a $100 or more combo and tried to fool me up by saying; its a good combo using in SJMs, Trex 600, ... (buy this one or buy nothing! the stock one is great for newbies, buy a HH gyro if you are an expert!!!!) Also told: The stock falcon 3d HHgyro (35$ here) is a bargain gyro and good for the king if you have low budget

Those guys here most of them just want to suck up my pocket
