Dubro servo arms color coded?
 
Are the dubro heay duty servo arms color coded? If they are, what colors correspond to JR and Hitec. I've only purchased hitec and jr arms by dubro. Somehow all my servo arms ended up in one box. I have only grey and white arms. They both can be started but the grey arms are more snug than the white ones. I'm afraid of torquing the grey ones down on the hitec servo in question for fear they aren't the correct arms.

Grey are JR. Black are Futaba. White I am not totally sure about. HiTech or Airtronic.

I have a set on a couple of Hitec HS425BB and they look grey to me.

I would think that the best way to ensure the right arms are being used on a particular servo is to ask DuBro. Having the right combination is essential, so why risk the opinions of folks on these boards?

When you get your question answered by DuBro it would be worthwhile to post the answer.

Grey=JR
White=Hitec
Black=Futaba

But don't trust my word, look on the packages themselves...

Oh yeah, don't switch them....know a guy who lost a plane due to elevator flutter (Dubro JR arms on hitec servos; not positive but servo arms were stripped). Sad part is that he trusted a guy who has been flying for 25yrs to set up plane for him (yep, experienced guy made this mistake).

Wildnloose is correct. I looked at the packages I have hanging on the wall of my shop last night.

JR-grey, Futaba=black, Hitech=white.
