Futaba would be ideal as they also 25t horns.

What's suggestions? Not looking to spend mega bucks

However, if your receiver is shutting down by turning the servo 3 times under no-load, a power cap wont fix it, sounds like the servo is the issue.

This happened with a guy at our club, and once he changed the servo, the problems went away. We fitted a large powercap, and it made it slightly better, but didnt fix the issue until the servo was replaced.

So what's the problem as the servo it rated at 6v but is also digital coreless... If that's what's making it draw to much power

What similar performance servos are available that don't draw a similar amount of current from the rx

I think your problem lies with a dodgy servo, have it sent back to CML for testing.

Powercap sorted it on my sr3300t so will do it for the micro no doubt.

I've been meaning to put an ace servo in for a while so may be time to do a test
