Hi

I am building a 42% plane and will be using the 5955 for the rudder. I will also be using some 8611's on it. I was wondering if I size the servo bays for the 8611 will the 5955 drop in without issues that way I can size evrything for the 8611 and change out when the 5955 is released? I am unsure with the new 5955 case if the servo will fit.

Thanks

Thanks for the sizes Mike.
I am assuming by your post that the new 5955 with the heat sink case will be the same size as the 5995 currently available? That was the part I was unsure about as I am waiting for those instead of the 5995.

You may not have to wait too long for the 5955. I saw that Troy Built Models is taking orders now at only 100$ a peice for a limited time. The website says that thay will be available within days. [link=http://www.troybuiltmodels.com/Servos.htm]Click here[/link]

I'm a little confused. The 5735 is Metal Gear and weighs over 5oz. The 5955 has more torque and weighs only 2.18 oz. Am I missing something. The 5955 makes the 5735 obsolete?

The 5955 is a standard case servo where the 5735 is a large case servo. I assume this is where the weight savings are.
Thanks for the info on Troy built I will give them a mail as I like to have the servo when I size the bay.

I think that the 5735 (now the 5745 I think) are not obsolete because of the new 5955. They are larger so they are more solid and they are also faster, from the specs at least. I don't fly 40% planes but I would not be the first one to put only 2 of these on the rudder. They are standard size servos !!! I am building a 33% right now and plan to use one on the rudder at 6V. I hope the case is solid enough for my use, IMAC and 3D...

Are they the same size as the 5945 ??

Well here is what I know now on sizes now.

5745 - 2.3x1.1x2 .15@6v
5955 - 1.6x.8x1.4 .15@6v
5945 - 1.2x..8x1.5 .13@6v

So it seems the 5955 is a tad larger than a 5945. I am using a 5735 single servo on pull pull on my 35% Cap. I have not had any issues with it and I have it set for 3D throws.
I am building the 42% and the plan is to try 2 on the rudder and these are planned for the rear of the fuse 1 per side. I have the bays cut and ready and can size slightly if needed. I also added enough room to add a second bay on one side if I need to gang but I hope not to. I just want to make sure the bays in the flight surfaces can accomidate this servo as I am only going to run 1 per elevator not sure which servo yet though. I am going to make sure I have the mounts there for 2 just incase. So it looks as though I may be the 2 per rudder and 1 per elevator beta tester next year. Hope if it is enough servo as I run 3D throws, most run 4 on the elevators this would reduce it to 2 and 2 for a total of 4, same weigth in the rear. Now I do not need trays, bellcrank, ganged servo's, hope I will see a weight reduction this way. My 35% is my primary plane anyhow so a testing I will go.
Any suggestions on hardware, I figure #10 hardware and CF rods?

I just checked on the Hitec website and there is a small error in the dimensions shown for the 5945. They should be the same as the 5925 which uses the same case but not the same gears. Soooooooo the 5955 should fit in the same place as the 5945 and 5925. That is great for those who think they need more power in an existing flying model.
