Esky Servo

Does any one have a suggestion on a better servo the stock servo's on the belt cp are junk keep stripping them Thanks for the help Rick

Depends on budget, if your looking for something cheap go for Tower Pro SG90's or if your looking for the best go for some Hitec HB65MG metal gear servos at about £20 each. Awesome servos, but they need the direction reversing so you need a prgrammable TX

Thanks Grant think I will go with the tower pro for now still saving up for a programable TX then get the metal geared ones happy flying Rick

Yeah SG90's are more than twice as good as Eskys

There is also the upgrade sg91r, which i have. About the same price, but I really don't know what they have upgraded. Am pleased with mine - very good and responsive.

They are identical servo's, its what i have in the belt cp at the moment. If you order SG90's you will probably get the SG91R's anyway like i did. Not many advertise as SG 91R

Absolutely identcal to Hextronic as well just got some SG90's today as my tail servo was playing up. The only difference is color of the wires

I have ordered three of sg90 servo and wonder is there any trim or subtrim need to be done and eventully any particular instruction would help me getting through mounting if there is any:thumbup:

Hi, they are a direct fit, size wise. But the head gear that the servo arm mounts is different, so you will need to use the towerpro arms, and drill the arm in the appropriate place. Easy upgrade, well worth it.

Hey guys, I have my ESKY servos on but I already have the SG90 at hand so here are some questions:

1) Should I throw away the ESKY servos and install the SG90?
2) Or the difference, feeling wise, is not that great so I should use the ESKY until they go?
3) If I replace one ESKY servo, should I replace ALL at the same time becuase the difference is just too much?

Let me know what you think. I also have the HB65MG but I will use this for an EXI 450 body I got. I'm just waiting for the Scorpion motor to be in stock again :YeaBaby:

IMHO, the pEsky servo is about Ok, so you could get away with waiting until they "go". But you will notice a difference in the crispness and reaction time of the SG90/91. I had 2 of the pEskys go within a couple of weeks of having the copter, and I had already made my mind up to upgrade to the towerpros. You should put the same 3 servo brands/types on the swashplate, for obvious reasons, and when I had a sg91 lock out [left swash], i replaced it with the tail rotor servo, putting a spare pEsky on the tail untin new ones arrived. It crossed my mind whether i needed a beefier servo on the tail rotor, but the resident Aces reckon the sg91s are fine.

Cool, thanks for the advice!

I wonder if the holes I have chosen for the servo arms are the right ones and also the position of the eyeballs are on the other side of the servo arm and does it worth changing the tail servo too ?any comments would be apperciated:)
