Question Savox in a B44

Ive recently got a savox 1256 servo, would this be ok in a B44 or will it have too much torque...........???

Also if it is ok would i need to fit a power cap to the receiver as ive read of problems with the savox being power hungry ???

cheers

I run them in my B44s. They are fine just make sure you set the end points on your TX so to stop the servo when the steering just gets to full lock. As for a power cap, I run an LRP sphere and dont seem to need one as the BEC circuitry is manly. If your speedo has girly BEC ciruitry a power cap should help

Hmmm spec says 6.1V 3A. Should be OK, Try it out can't cause any damage its just annoying when it happens. If your handy with a soldering iron you can get a cap from maplin and fit it to an old servo lead, save you a few quid that will.
