Damn, JR really knows how to make torque filled servos. I can't imagine any 1/8 scale truck needing a servo like this though... for 1/5 however, I suspect it will work quite well.

considering you need a 2s lipo to power it i would say its not exactly for 1/8th.

I think I'd rather have the new Airtronics 94780 that does 423in-oz at 6V and only costs $120.

I have one. Just had to get it, even though it's not currently in anything yet :lol:. It will go in my crawler. BTW, Airtronics has been testing this servo throughout the day for the last 3 months. Basically, it cycles constantly between the hours of 7:30am-3:30pm, with a load of about 12lbs. There have been no problems whatsoever, and the servo runs at a constant 150 deg. F measured at the heatsink.

Wow...that's some serious testing.

Wow :oh:

I think I am going to get one for my e-revo. Currently I have 2 94758z airtronics in there but if I get one beefy servo I can have spares for my 10th scale stuff.

Hey Ill be going to IHobby on sunday. I will be taking plenty of pics. Just let me know what you guys want to see.

I'd love to see the Mini-Revo next to the Revo BL-edition for a size comparison.

Thanks!

So I take it you would need a UBEC to power it? How many recievers can you feed 2s LiPo (8.4V off the charger) into without frying them? I know the Spektrums can handle 9V, IDK about others. I also don't know of any ESC that has a 7.4V option for it's internal BEC.

The price looks pretty good for something of this calibre.

I think these higher voltage servos are directed at airplane guys more than land.

Yeah the large scale planes could use them too, but here are the specs from JR-

Specs:

Size Category: Standard
Type: Digital
Application: 1/8, 1/5 on-road, off-road surface vehicles
Torque: 480 oz/in (2S Li-Po)
Speed: .12 sec/60°
Dimensions (WxLxH): .82" x 1.58" x 1.57"
Weight: 2.6 oz
Bushing Or Bearing: Bearing
Bearing: Dual
Motor Type: Coreless
Connector Type: JR
Gear Type: Metal
Gear Material: SuperSteel™
Voltage: 7.4V (2S Li-Po)
Deadband: Surface optimized

Good. A servo that'll reliably run on 2s. I don't use Ni-MH packs for RX power, and I'm not totally satisfied with BEC's. I'm looking for a servo on steroids for my hyper ST or new project. This sounds pretty good.

Please take a ton of pics of the mini revo!!!

Haha
