    Reza has been here for a week and he's already giving stuff away! RED LINE OIL!

    There's a reason a lot of experienced motorcycle riders prefer to run Redline, the stuff is seriously magic in a bottle!! I ran it in my 2 strokes and never had a problem, and last time I was inside that engine I saw nothing but cleanliness all around.

    Why do you use HV and / or why don't you?

    Well keep in mind these tests are to show what the servo can put out in a controlled environment using what is basically a standardized test. The torque/speed values are based off of a 1" arm. Obviously if you add in something like a 2" arm, the values will diminish. However, being that the HSB...

    FREE INDOOR FLY-IN at the 2015 Toledo Show!

    My buddy is helping work the event with the Weak Signals club, not sure if he'll be at the indoor fly. Be sure to say HI to him, name is Anthony.

    Why do you use HV and / or why don't you?

    The poster of the video stated he was using a power supply set to 8 volts, so he had plenty of juice going to them. Also, if you'll notice, the servo mount is moving. The servo is holding its position, but the mount is a little sketchy. If it were me, I'd have hard mounted that servo, rather...

    Why do you use HV and / or why don't you?

    The NEU motor inside of Hitec HSB servos is so incredibly efficient that it doesn't even struggle to make the maximum rated torque. We could make the 9380 pump out over 800 oz of torque if we wanted to, but the case and gears won't take it, let alone the wiring for the current loads. It's...

    Blenderm tape and Welder glue

    Yup, blenderm is a very specific tape, 3M is the only company that makes it (as far as I know) and you can generally find it at medical supply stores. It has a smooth texture on the top surface and is relatively stretchy, but super stick on the other side. You can get a box of 12, 1" x 5yd rolls...

    Why do you use HV and / or why don't you?

    Someone on another website did some testing of his own on the 9370 servo and came back with an average of about 430oz of torque at 8v. Not bad for a servo rated to 347oz of torque :way_to_go:

    12S power systems ideas and options

    I have not yet, I am wanting to try one of the flow through ones from TDRC. My list of parts for this airplane seems to keep growing :banghead::cool:

    Not using the manufacturers recommended set up for an electric motor

    Because the motor has less voltage to work with, current flow will go down given the same prop. If a manufacturer calls for 10s, why not use a 10s setup? Flight times will still vary on your throttle use. Some use more throttle with less cells, so flight time may go down because amperage draw...

    Why do you use HV and / or why don't you?

    That's why we include the PAD with the HSB's, in the event you use a BEC/regulator. They're still ultra efficient, and they're HV compatible so you can plug a 2s lipo/ion directly into the receiver. Whether you run them at 6 or 7.4 volts doesn't actually even matter because the brushless motor...

    Why do you use HV and / or why don't you?

    You guys need some brand new Hitec HSB-9380 servos in your airplanes. Fly all day without recharging, they draw almost nothing!
