278 oz-inch at 6v, titanium gears, coreless..... local hobby store $84.99 each. Anyone used these? There 100 oz-in ones are like $49.

JR makes these right?

What do yo guys think?

Andy

go for it amigo!!! great price for sure and loads of torque. you've just helped me find a replacement for myZ650M, which i've been using for a while now for the same reason. high torque, low cost despite being an analog servo it suits my flying style just fine.

Andy,

Go to Fly!ing G!ants and read about what the flip floppers think about them. Interesting info in there...

Hey, Andy,
Check out this video...the servos you mention are used on the elevators on this plane.

I've been using these on the ailerons and rudder of a pilot-rc 30% Yak. I'm also using the A6020 (11Kg) on each elevator. So far they have been great. I have only had about 20 flights on the plane but they seem to handle it all.

No Savox make them.

Yes good servos, sold a few I have a customer with them in a CARF Hawk and new DerJet Cougar. No problems so far. Avoid the 100oz "basic" servo

how is the centering of them compared to similar spec'd JR/futaba servo's?

I have read some guys commenting that the centering was poor in comparison to JR servos. That however can be dependent on the pilot. Some guys might not notice the lack of "centering ability". Back in the day, my SA birds were all 8411s and 8611s. My Bud, who was a Team Foootuba guy flew the identical 40% that I did, but used Foootuba Analogs. He loved how his plane flew and did quite well with it. When I flew it, I immediately noticed how it could not "find center" and I when I told him I thought he had a servo sticking, he then told me about the analog servos that he was using. He then flew my plane and his only comment was "wow...I see what you mean".

Torque numbers only tell part of the story. I can tell the difference...but many can not. If they feel good to you...use them...they do offer a cost savings.

They are not as good as JR, but are much better than Hitec. They are a good budget priced servo.

Dw

Is there somewhere online that shows that Savox makes them? I'm curious why Spectrum would buy them from Savox when they make their own servos. Maybe because of some cost saving proceedure that JR does not utilize. Don't know.

Andy, I think you'll find Spektrum DS821's were made by JR, Gary.

Yes, 821 Spektrum are re badged JR 589 servos.

Dave

Im talking about the A6030s.

The new series 6020, 6030, 6040 etc are not made by JR.

Is there info showing Savox makes them for Spectrum or is it just conjecture?

Andy, both Dave and I own rc model shops so I think we know, Gary.

I'm not trying to be argumentative but who told you this?

Thats ok, the Horizon Hobby rep.

rgr that. Thx.

If you sell both as I do...you can see too!

When you say that do you mean that they look like Savox servos?

Yes. They are Savox servos, but for JR users as the servo arms are the same. So Futaba arm stock? Savox. JR arm stock Spektrum...
