Dex 210 servo help wanted !!
 

I just got durango 210 and brought savox servo 1251 digit coreless sevo what the best servo horn to use with it as I'm new to this I'm not sure what to buy so would like some advice thanks

Their is a 25T servo horn in the box. I have tried other horns and they seem too long.

MB models

Kimbrough KP114 Servo-Saver Futaba 25 Spline


:thumbsup:

Actually the tlr22 alu servo horn is a really good fit, only need to epand the hole for the bolt holding the ball slightly.

I would not reccomend using the 1251 without a servo saver in the 210 though, manged to mess up two in ours within four packs of running without major shunts.

And Savox is not running with Tekin, because of the high current demand......

Thanks for the advice guys will I need to buy space-saver & servo horn for my 1251 savox as going to order my bits tonight thanks again:thumbsup:

Have you bought a kit or an RTR. if its a kit you will have a 25T horn with it. If you give me a shout and I will post you a plastic one I have a few lol

Hi you will find in the Team Durango 210 Kit that it is supplied with servo horns ranging from 23-25T with Savox being 25T

I have been running a Savox 1258 which is not a low profile servo but have only damaged one servo horn in 2 years of running my 210 car.

I would presume it depends how hard you hit things tho..

The new RTR kit comes with a servo saver so it might be worth ordering one of those if you feel the need.

I have the kit durango 210 brought it used so no spares:mad:

Hi Mate

The steering servo and horn set is Part number TD320124

and costs around £6.49

:thumbsup:

I run a standard servo horn with no servo saver with a savox 1251
And the speedo is a tekin rs pro and its worked like that for a year before that it was the same combination in a tc02c

I've been running Savox 1258's with Tekin RS Pro's in both 2WD and 4WD for almost four years now without a single problem. This is the first I've heard of anyone saying there is a problem with high current draw. :eh?:

Just got one of these, on this recommendation, and it fits real good.

Really??
Here in Germany a lot of people have this problem, i don't know why, but something in the construction from Savox must be very cheap
But everyone makes his own experience.....
For me Savox is dead - as always in life: If you buy cheap, you buy twice......

Some receivers can experience 'Brownouts' when running a savox servos, a simple fix is to plug a capacitor into the receiver. One like this http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/D...ProdID=SPM1600

Sorry, but every Servo (TT, ProTek, Team Orion, etc.) is working without any problem, so for me Savox is the problem; They are cheap, but they didn't work without additional parts, so it is just a faulty design;

Hi I just used savox servo 1251 in my durango 210 with a 25t horn and had no problem at all in the 'b' final fist time ever plus wining 2 races and 2 second places so happy days!!!

The Savox motors draws alot of amps. So to use them you need to use receivers and esc`s that can supply them with the current they need.
Same goes for brushless motors also. You can`t feed a 5.5t motor with a 35amp esc in a buggy.
I use Savox servos in four buggys now with Futaba receivers and Hobbywing esc`s. Never had a single problem.
If you have to buy £80 servo`s because your receivers and esc`s can`t deliver enough amps its not the servo that is the problem.

I think different, one component has a problem, no other component has this problem, so i think construction from savox is more or less bull-shit

If it is good enough for drivers winning 1/8 buggy worlds an 1/10 buggy pre-worlds its good enough for me

I wouldn't say they are particularly cheap. In the UK they sell at around 70 Euros, which I'd class as mid to top quartile pricing in comparison to other quality 1/10th Servo's. A good many drivers at my club run them and I've never heard any have a problem with them. I am of course referring to the 1258.

TEam orion servos are re badged savöx servos

I can't say I have really had any issues with Savox myself. I have run them in micro, 1/10th 2wd and 4wd, SCT, 1/8 electric and nitro.

I have run both 6v and 7.4v as well.

The only thing I think is needed sometimes is a power cap if the bec isn't up to it in the receiver but again I haven't needed that either in any class's.

There is a lot choice with gear nowadays so its about what you feel comfortable with and what works for you.

I can second that :
I use 1257 and 1285 savox servos together with tekin esc's
I used to have a spektrum tx/rx module for my 3VCS futaba transmitter.
and then I needed capacitors or I got alot of brownouts when turning the steering left to right a few times
It was better with the capacitors, however the spektrum module still gave me alot of problems on the far ends on some circuits
so i switched to all futaba rx/tx module and then no more problems

so you could conclude it is more a combination of servo-reciever-esc that causes the brownouts, because after dumping de spektrum and switching to the futaba module the problems went away.
Simply blaming the servo would be drawing the wrong conclusion in my experience
In my case the spektrum reciever seemed more fragile to the powerpeaks of the servo than the futaba one.

that said I think the savox 1257 and 1258 servo's are one of the fastest and most powerfull within their pricerange
I would say that's one of the reasons why they also take more current.
just make sure your combo esc and reciever are up for that.
