Servos for a refined lady

[Flyboysee]

Hi Guys

The MTD finally arrived and looking at my Turnigy / Towerpro MG90s I feel I could do a little better.

I'm looking for something the same size, but digital and definitely metal geared.

Is there anything under £10 a pop in this bracket?

I have some HXT900's that are beautiful, and yours for only £9.99 delivered :)

These are 70p over budget but work a treat in my Trifecta Tail.

They are a bit heavier, but worth the extra bit of weight.

Although I have had these in quite a few aircraft (i know they are only analog) latest being my Skywalker 1900mm
But none of these have failed on me, stripped gears or owt yet!

I may even have them in my mini talon, will have to check.

The problem with Hobbyking is shipping. Order a few servos they weigh few grams and shipping cost as much as the goods are worth. Last time I bought metal servos from banggood I was surprised they are full 360 degrees. I don't like that sail winch servo for pan and tilt so may be using them instead.

These are not the same I ordered but they are in EU/UK warehouse so you get them fast, free shipping and within the budget:

These are quite promising as well:

Never tried them myself, but there is a good word for them around for larger aircraft :)

We have Newpower servos which seem to be very good quality and within your budget too. If you call up sussex model centre tomorrow and ask for Sheldon then I should be able to help :)

I'll never ever use new power servos.

They failed on my brand new skywalker x6.
As I watched it meet the earth very fast.

I have some of  those Emax servos, not found anything to use them in yet.
They were going in a hk 450 heli for my son to learn with but didn't fit lol.

True about hobbyking,
But I always find something to add to my order.
Usually extra batteries, glue, the odd plane lol.

The Hitec HS65 is 50% over budget but I always use Hitec Servos in stuff I care about:

Hi Guys!

Thanks for all the good advice etc. I was seriously tempted with the Turnigy digital MG's from HK but can't find a review anywhere.

In the end I went with the HS-65B's from Sussex Model Centre. Sheldon was not available to chat - they said he was busy cleaning toilets, but a chap called Dave got me sorted in no time! :)

Not cheap, but then neither am I :)

That is actually untrue, he was in the basement redesigning a 600mW Vtx ( based on an inferior design ) to single-handedly take down ImmersionRC as world leaders of FPV equipment.

Its Top Secret, code name "Toilet duties" :)

Poor Sheldon hopefully he does not get stuck in all of that sh*t.  :laugh:

Anyways OP reads:

"Is there anything under £10 a pop in this bracket?"

And towards the end of the story:

"Not cheap, but then neither am I :) "

It is an appropriate time to cite Dirty Harry: "The man's got to know his limitations".  :laugh:

Guilty yeah mate... Though to quote Achilles in Troy, "I will not let a stone take my glory!" - As it affects me I will not let a servo  :censored:  my plane up :)
