Anybody having problems with the real small Spektrum servos on 6 volts and a Jeti receiver?

My JR servos (and others for that matter/analog) are fine, but these mini digital servos are jittery and horribly "toothy" for some reason. Maybe they are only truly happy on 4 volts? They are the H3050 Cyclic servos for mini helicopters; just what they had at the hobby shop.

Was wondering if the Jeti had anything to do with it...tried changing the receiver output, but no effect. Not a big deal; just would be convenient to use the little buggers I have already.

Here's one that I m trying out.
They use a JR plug, and a Futaba servo arm.
Very powerful, and very fast....brushless motor and a steel gear train. They run on 4.8 to 8.4 volts.
They are quite popular with 3D flyers locally...Made in Sanford Fl., about 10 miles from my home.
THey also offer lesser torque servos too.
ProModeler - 470oz-in, Std, BLS #DS470BLHV

How are those going? I saw those ProModeler servos before, researched them but forgot before I came back into the market for some more.

Really interested to know how they perform/centering/speed, etc.

On the short list for critical surfaces...

Those look pretty good. How long have they been around?

I bought the MKS HBL880 for my helicopter. Really insane thing at 155oz and 0.03sec. If in a hurry getting the flaps down go for MKS X8 (they come in a more normal 450oz - 0.1sec range too)

I have a set of their older version of the 420 in-oz brushless, high-voltage servos in my Navy Cat for ailerons and flaps. They've been very consistent on centering for about 100 flights now, with no issues. Great performance for the money.

Sounds and look really good - it will be great if more guys using these servo's can dial in and give us their impressions. Especially performance and reliability. As a addicted JR servo user for many years, I need to find that warm and fussy feeling again....
