Throttle servo?

[Robbins]

Hahah are you about that robbins? Ive seen you fly!

maybe you don't understand. the pat that flies and the pat that sets stuff up are one but not...

I pretty much stick to a Hitec 7954/55 and lately I've been buying Savox 1257's for throttle and loving them!! Ti gears, super fast and plenty of torque.

So, you don't need torque, or speed, but you have plenty of both

What is needed is piece of mind beyond all things. Speed and torque are good to have and an overkill maybe, but certainly not inadequate. No failures mean happy safe flying where equipment is concerned. Precision to boot!

The fact that you pay roughly $1200 for a 35% wood arf, at least $800-$1200 on a motor $200-$600 on exhaust and anywhere between $1000- $1800 on servos depending, a $100 servo is cheap.

I call it a $40.00 (HS5665) insurance policy. May never need it, but I know it is in place.

I have yet to see it on my 5665's, but some people have been having issues with spectrum RX's and the 5665. I suspect its due to improper setup, but Hitec confirmed that the motor is a 3 pole, not a coreless so it is not as efficient. That is why its cheaper but still HV/steel geared. I have had one in my 40%er for nearly 4 years without a hiccup though (minus this summer where it has been deadlined due to a tailslide 5 feet from the ground ) The gears stripped out when the servo was ripped from its mount though.

I think the throttle is a good place for overkill. 7955s on All my birds! Especially for 3d where throttle management is what keeps them from crashing when you are only inches from the ground!

I also use the 7955 servo for the throttle.. Don't have to regulate so its all good.

I also like overkill on my throttles. I use the Hitec coreless MG 7985. 172 oz. A long time ago I had a 5625 mini digital fail on me on a giant scale plane and I went overkill ever since. Funny how real experiences will make you a believer.
