Anyone remember who did the servo gun elevation mod? i've got another project started and it looks like this is the way I need too go. Very limmited space so i really need to use a servo.

Hi there PantherG ive done it running of heng long board but you will need to fit a resistor in line to slow the servo cant remember the value of the resistor I did it by trial & error till I got it working but if you dont use a resistor the gun barrel will be up and down like a brides nightie.

regards pete

I use a micro servo with the board removed and the lift motor wires wired to the original servo motor with a dropping resiter in the + lead works fine in tight spaces

if your realy straped for space use one of these they are 1 inch X1/2 inch gear reduction units

Hi
If you use a servo then you can add a servo-slow
which slows it down a great deal............
Check on the H.E.A.T. site for more info............

Hi Panther G,

Elwarpo was the one who did the servo mod see this post http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_59...tm.htm#5976368


Cheers Ian

thanks for the link plastic. The servo rate reducer looks like the ticket. all I have at the moment are Futaba S3004's. i may try a smaller servo for this for even more space. But i might try the rate reducer on my 88mm gun project to smooth out the movement of the gun travers. check out the video of the gun at the post 88mmDiarama on this forum.

Got my servo elevation set up too work. Man it works great. i was able too use one of my Futaba S3004's afterall. i'll get some pics up tommorrow. What i need now is wirring diagrams too get all this stuff back together. I wont be using a smoker but i am going to get a TK-RX 14 board. and some meteal gearboxes from Bill when i get some extra cash. I'm saving for thr HL Jagdpanther at the moment.
