Cyclic servos?

[t-rex pedro]

What are the best cyclic servos for my T-Rex 600n? Fastest, most torque? Brushless? I'm a Futaba guy so would prefer to use Futaba servos. Any suggestions??

Thanks

Peter

Cheers guys!!

All the info I need.

And some people are running the 8717s on straight 2S lipo, at 8.4 volts. Even FASTER.

I have Hitec 6965HB servos on my cyclic.

.08 seconds and 111oz at 6 volts. About 80 bucks each. IMO the best speed and torque for the $, but 8717s are the ultimate servo right now especially if you run them on a straight 2-cell lipo.

I have Hitech HS-5625's on my 600N sport and Futaba 9252's on my 600E CF. I bought another 600E GF and I'm putting in HS-5625's in that one, and I'm looking at another 600N pro and I'm looking at the Hitech HS-5965's for that one, as I am still noob enough to need metal gears, but don't want to spend $109 ea for servos for the JR. Then again the Hitechs are $72.99 ea for the 5965's. The 5625's are quite a steal IMO at $46.99 and the one's on my 600N sport seem very good and plenty fast for me :).

[fiveoboy01]

5625 is a great servo. I used to have several of them in my planks.

[TheBum]

The 9452s are plenty fast for me and were a good compromise between speed and cost.

Wait how do I run JR8717 straight from the lipo? So no regulator?

[Roadrune]

Just connect the LiPo directly to your reciever, and then the servos directly in to the reciever, works great with AR7000 here:)
