Another MG125 problem on 6V
I'm not a JR guy but I couldn't resist trying a MG125. The servo seems very nice for the money but I'm having terrible glitching on 6V.
futaba 9C TX
6V pack (6.6V charged) the servo is uncontrollable on a hitec RX and very glitchy on a Futaba RX. So erratic I would never fly the plane this way.
6V pack (6.1 V ) slightly glitchy on the hitec RX and just barely jittery at center with the Futaba RX
4.8V pack (5.6 V charged) solid on both RX's
Bad servo or bad design???? Any fixes in the pipeline???
Too bad, I really liked the MG125, it fills a niche in the servo market for the larger 90-120 size planes. Please keep us updated.

I would recommend sending the servos in for repair.

RE: Another MG125 problem on 6V
So you think this particular servo is the problem?
I've hear many reports of problems on 5 Cell packs, including RC Report not recommending 5 cells for the MG125's. I'm happy running 5.4V or 6.0V using a regulator since I think that will work fine.
I just don't want to send back a brand new servo if there is nothing wrong with it.

RE: Another MG125 problem on 6V
There have been some issues with running the 125 servo with extensions, y-harnesses, etc in a few cases and higher voltages will make it more likely, however if you send the servo in it can be corrected. If the set up you are using however is working fine or if a regulator makes it work, there should be no problems using them. R/C Report however not recommending the 125 for 6V use was inaccurate.
