Default Savox

Any one using Savox servos in their jets?? wish one, what's your experience....
Since 8711 are out and no JR stock I was thinking on the SB 2270SG....

Default Yes please, a comparison will be good.

If anyone can give us a fair comparison between the JR and Savox servo's it will be fantastic.

Cheers,

I've been using savor 2270 sg in my jets for two years in a 2.5 Futura and a T 1 never had a problem seems to be a better replacement for Futaba 9601 or JR 8711 the savox is more powerful on 7.4 volts than the rest ,and cheaper at 100 bucks apiece you won't be disappointed , go ahead pull the trigger ...MK

+1 Agree 100% with comments above. I'm using Savox in My SM PC 21 and Euro sport. They also don draw as much current as the JR servos.

Enjoy and have a great day

Regards

Default So is the Savox 2270sg a direct alternative to a JR8711?

Is it possible to tell me which Savox servo's are compatible with the following JR servo's; 8411, 8511, 8711 and 8911? Which is the best source for Savox servo's?

Thank you for the help.

Cheers,

JanR

I have been flying them in gas 3D planes for years and they hold up. I wouldn't have any heartburn about putting them in a jet.

Does anyone know the correct pronunciation (way to say) "Savox"?

Savox ran their course in 3D Helis,did not hold up in geartrain slop, MKS is now the GOLD standard in high end servos for helis and large giant scale 3D however pricey,
Savox are the go to for those on a budget. Xpert is making a run at it, this is not your old school JR knockoff they are brushless and really smooth, I been playing with them in 3D aeros xpert-rc Product List Lots of HV options, I like them versus savox at this point. One subject matter I find interesting is there is no sacrificial plastic gear in an all metal gear train, Seems an urban legend subject matter may exist in noise isolation.. I have many other brands that have a plastic gear in metal gearsets.

I can't remember this much chaos trying to find servos. I wonder what servos are in BVM PNP.

Thankfully, there may be a bit less performance demand in a jet. Good info anyway.

1230s are my favorite flap and full flying stabs servos, 500 oz of torque at 6V, these have the standard footprint but slightly deeper, also available here:
