New servo help
 

I'm looking for a servo with low power consumption, ideal not a high torque servo as this seems to be a factor in drawing to many amps from my tiny rx!

Futaba would be ideal as they also 25t horns.

What's suggestions? Not looking to spend mega bucks

Looking at futaba but unsure on what's suitable and strong enough for 4wd

Before selling your Savox 1258, try plugging a spektrum power cap into a spare port on the receiver.

The Savox and Tekin RS speedo combo is known to cause issues with glitching (I assume this is the problem you're having)

I'm gonna use a new servo I like to try new stuff :D just can't find a futaba with the right spec for the right price

Don't know much about Futaba, but you certainly can't beat the 1258 for the price :thumbsup:

ok the speedo supplies the power to the servo through the rx, spektrum rx do not rastricet the power, you have been advised what to try, my self and others have said the savox are fine and futaba will be more money.
yet again your buldozing on in different threads about the same thing!!:thumbdown:

Eh? This thread is about recommendations on a new servo to try out

There is a thread not even half way down this page that is about the best Futaba servo, and I already told you to look at the BLS series...

To be as clear as possible... Futaba BLS451 for a standard sized servo, BLS551 for a low-profile servo.

This is your second thread on serves in electrics, you have a wanted add in wanted for an ace servo, you want to try new but want to buy second hand, and if you had not opened the season to shorten the wire it would still work, then ur going to flog it to someone on here.

Show me a picture of your servo and wire length laid out along a rule........

Every thing you have is the best till you fook it up.......

If glitching is the problem, then a spektrum power cap will help (around £7)

if your servo wire is botched up - then consider sending the servo to Derek Bailey for repair.

Either way, it's cheaper than forking out cash for a Futaba servo which will be no better than the Savox you already have.

Totally agree
£6.50 from DMS - SPM1600
Worth a try before shelling out on a new servo

Who says anythings fooked? It's in perfect condition.... Including the wire!

the savox constantly brings on the blue limit light when flicking the tranny wheel.

bang in an old ko propo and the blue light doesnt come on once, ive got my savox apart now to check the soldering I did when I shortened wires but all looks well.

the cap on the esc is between the motor and esc and the rx is not touching the cap.

the ko servo feels so much smoother even driving the throttle no stutters or jumps. but the ko has seen better days hence is a spare so looking for a new servo if this savox is no good

Is this the same servo you have for sale now. The same one you tried to sell last year. You have probably goosed it when soldering the internal wiring. AS mark sayspost a picture of it. If its goosed take it out of the sale section.

Its funny how nearly everthing the lip buys has issues,im suprised the zips on his new haulier havent jammed yet...........:p

No that servo was replaced.

It was only last week when you and coleman where laughing that if you move you steering from side to side by hand it lights up your reciever!!!

back emf..not good

what does this mean dave? the servo is creating a reverse current like a dynamo?

correct..a motor is a dynamo.

Actually Matt it was me and dave and we knew the response we'd get off you telling you we were doing it.

You dident get any response,i just told you track side exactly what daveg has said!! Im not fussed whatsoever if you want to ruin you own gear.

Mate don't even start that crap, you know we did it to get a reaction from you and it did, weren't exactly saying look at this light up. Not that stupid!

but you were doing it ........

No we weren't....

To be a convincing liar you must remember the lies that have all ready been told!!!

Ps I've never touched your car ever!!

Would you like me to lend you a spade or have you finished digging holes for yourself:o

Buds

Ive noticed this when i do the same with my futaba 2174 servo and my hitec MG645 servo both both running in seperate buggies and both using an Ansmann W3 radio with R3 receivers...............is this a problem :confused::confused::confused:

cheers

when you turn the servo by hand it turns the servo motor very fast,the motor acts like a dynamo (ever seen those wind up torches,same principle) and puts power into the receiver from the wrong side and lights the led up.

in essence your putting current in from the wrong side of the circuit board and the diodes cant do their job i believe.

The Savox 1258 is a power hungry servo, and the Tekin RS is known to be little bit weak with it's Bec power supply.

Speaking from experience, the spektrum powercap will certainly help.

Give it a try - you've got nothing to lose

I'd try one of these if you can get it:- Futaba S9550 or spektrum S6070 if your after a low profile servo.

Otherwise I can't complain about my KO2343, buts thats full size.

Must admit ever since going Brushless I have always run a spektrum powercap plugged into the receiver like has already been mentioned.

Thankyou for two decent replies

well if you were not such a cock aransmith posted the same reply in post 3, yet you have not taken his advise????

Yep but will you take any notice of them.
You have filled this forum with loads of crap time after time. Looking at your past threads you fly out the door on payday buy the newest, esc, servo or motor then the next day post problems with them.

Not exactly but I do like to buy decent stuff, and very very rarely have a problem with things, only problems I've had are diffs which was resolved ages ago and sorted since, and this it's not biggy just expected more people to have the brownout issue

and 2 savox servo faults....... the one you opened and the one your selling.

Must be bad luck!..... Or the well known spektrum brownout problem... Nothing to with "faulty" servos if you knew what you are talking about

Didn't you also think your spectrum was faulty or was that the rechargeable batterys in it! Then there was the world famous Durango faulty diffs!! Lol

Or the glitching with your spekrtum radio gear,because you put rechargable batterys in it:thumbdown:
Or your new bigbores are leaking (nobody elses are)

Hardly leaking Matt! Not had to top them up once!

Rechargeable were replaced with standards aaaaages ago! Got you boys live in the past!

so that was another nonsense thread in the durango section about your shocks leaking:thumbdown: why dont you get coleman to build your cars,he dosent have any problems!!!

Dont forget your nuts dropped off.
Ps where,s the feedback for all the stuff you have sold
