New Turnigy Titanium HV Servos

Would it matter if my ESC has its Current Limiter set on No Limit and I power it thru my RX which is rated to take max 9.6v?

No one has gotten this yet?

I just got mine today. Seems very solid. The main body of the servo and the top case (part with the mounting ears) are both aluminum. The only plastic is the bottom cap.

Will test out later tonight.

It's morning here and still no review.

Not much to report about it yet. Quality seems very good. Very powerful servo. It will probably be another week or two before the snow is gone and I can actually get outside for some real testing.

Only other thing is I can't get the alloy servo horn I bought (Dynamite Futaba horn) to fit. All my other plastic Futaba horns and servo savers fit fine, so it could just as well be poor machining on the Dynamite horn, but it does fit fine on an old Futaba servo I tested it on, so not really sure. Turnigy servos are definitely 25-tooth Futaba spline.

Will you run it off 7V?

[simplechamp]

Yep, 7.4V from CC BEC.

how does the speed seem, i just ordered one for my buggy, how does it fit on your mount? the specs say it is 5mm taller from the tabs to the bottom

My truggy uses a laydown mount, so it fits fine, not sure how it would fit on a standing orientation servo mount though.

Seems very fast to me, but this is the first "good" servo I've had so I don't have any reference to the high-end Futaba or Hitec servos.

When someone else gets theirs if you use an alloy horn let me know if/how it fits. Still not sure if my Dynamite horn is the problem, or the servo output is a tiny bit larger and can only squeeze into plastic Futaba-spline horns.

Doesn't it come with an alloy horn?

you have a futaba horn? i wonder if its jr spline, i believe they are 24t instead of 23t like futaba

[simplechamp]

It doesn't come with an alloy horn (for a servo that can make this much torque the included horns are pathetic, but that's the price of choosing Turnigy instead of Hitec), and Futaba spline is 25-tooth. The Turnigy servo has 25T spline, but maybe the diameter is slightly different, just enough so the plastic can still squeeze on there but alloy won't budge. Or like I mentioned maybe the Dynamite arms is out of spec/tolerance slightly. I just don't want to buy another alloy arm of a different brand only to find it doesn't fit either.

[rawfuls]

OH, right, sorry, for some reason I thought it was a Hitec servo, guess I was dreaming :)
Well, all Hitec servos do come with alloy horns.. nevermind now..

the only horn that is 25 is hitec, the others are 23 and 24, dont ask me why hitec has the most teeth and its the smallest, kinda weird

[simplechamp]

From servocity.com: Futaba Servo Horns - These horns have the standard 25 tooth Futaba spline so they will fit all standard spline Futaba servos.

Futaba is definitely 25-tooth, and the Turnigy servos are also 25-tooth Futaba spline.

Hitec are actually 24-tooth.

Airtronics, JR, KO, Sanwa are 23-tooth
