Servo Flexing - 01.22.2006, 02:54 PM

When I turn, the Servo arm and top plate of Gorilla flex a little.

I will be fitting a high torque servo in soon (Hitec 5995) and wondering how to reduce this as much as possible so power isn't lost. Ideas?

Thanks.

I actually use two upper plates with the 5955 servo to eliminate the flex.

How do you do that?

Would the carbon fibre flex less? Also, what do you reccomend for the actual servo arm/save?

Get the ue servo saver. I like to run the stiffer spring on it as well. My upper plate was mad out of thicker metal. It don't flex like the gmaxx one.


Peace!
