servos
 

hey guys i have standard futaba 3003 servos in my hawk pro are these good enough ? or should i put some high tourqe in it?just dont want to loose it over a stripped gear thanks

RE: servos
 

Depends on your flying. I wouldn't thump on it but they are fairly stout, if not very fast or precise.

ok im basicly hovering and some figure 8 flight the reason i asked the question is because the servo arms have a little play in it

RE: servos
 

A little play (a very little) isn't a worry unless it's getting worse. The 3003s are pretty basic servos for a helicopter, though they'd probably be fine in a sport plane. It's expensive to go for faster ones, though- the least expensive full-size servos that I've used were JR DS821s at $30 apiece.

If you feel like it's sloppy, or the controls are mushy, then by all means get stronger ones, but otherwise, if it flies ok, then just go have fun.

they dont feel bad when im flying so maybe down the road i will throw in some bb servos but thanks for your advise

I just recently purchased the same helicopter (Hawk Pro) and I too was wondering what servos would work best.

Does a helicopter benefit from high torque and metal gear servos or is it more important that they be "fast"? I also see that a lot of people use digital servos, does this have a noticeable benefit?

I have a blade cx 2 and the bottom blade broke so i replaced it and now the 2 blades won't balance because the circle thing doesn't keep it up straight now. Can i fix it or do i need to replace it?

RE: servos
 

i would go with bb servos or high tourqe just to be safe
