New Turnigy Titanium HV Servos - RC-Monster Forums

Has anyone tried these yet? I am tempted to get one, but I have some reservations. On one hand $60 for a titanium gear servo sounds awesome. On the other hand by the time I pay for shipping it might be better to spend a few more bucks and go with a Hitec.

There are a few models in the titanium HV line-up, this is the one I am interested in: http://hobbycity.com/hobbyking/store..._.118sec_/_78g

Looks good on paper. There is only one way to find out if they're worth it.

Buy one and be the guinea pig

Just ordered one. I'll report back when it gets here. They look promising though.

Definitely post up on it. I'm interested as well!

Who's going to try the 3S capable servo?

Speed of it seems nice, but the torque isn't nearly enough for anything large not to mention I don't see how you would run that much voltage? It would fry the RX well before 12V I would think.

nitrostarter · 02.13.2010, 12:40 PM

Would would you just use 2 separate pack, 1 3s for the servo and 1 Rx pack for the Receiver?

Does seem like some complicated wiring! I'll be ordering a lipo soon,I may pick one of these up as well.

I have yet to order anything from HC and don't intend to start anytime soon. I'll keep ordering from companies here in the US so when I have a problem I don't have to pay $30+ to ship it back. You can get lipos from Neu at about the same cost as HC, and for a servo you can get the Tower packaged Hitec 7955 ( don't know the Tower model #) for $90 before a discount

You can buy hardcase LiPos for less than $30 from Neu? I doubt it...

Maybe not a hardcase but I don't have any use for a hardcase, a 5s 5000mah from HC with shipping was gonna cost about $100, dropping down to 4s this year but going up to 5500mah from Neu and with shipping cost me $84

Ordering from HC has always been something I've gone back and forth on. That was my main reservation on trying the new servo. I had some points to redeem at HC so the servo came to $62 shipped. The two main questions are (a) will the quality be there at least close to a Hitec, and (b) will the $30 savings be worth it if the servo dies and I have more of a hassle dealing with warranty and support. Will have to wait and see.
