Gyro & Servo Specs. Good Newb Info!

[Gr4yb3ard]

All,

It's probably about time to update the servo and gyro report list. This my listing of servo and gyro dimensions and weights, along with the stock 200 servo bay dimensions, and simple conversions.

I'll post the last version below. Anyone who wants to add a servo or gyro, please chip in with the specs, and I'll add it, and re-post later. I'll be looking as well for stuff I've missed, and new ones.

FWIW, I've found that the torque specs on servo's are quoted in a variety of different terms. oz/degree, newtons per furlong, etc. I gave up on a mass conversion due to a real possibility of error, as well as the time factor, though I hate mixed units with a passion.

Sorry guys, For now, I'll quote the specs as close as possible, please take note that this stuff is published by sales weasels...

Again, is there any interest in a blade and battery list? Not like we got any aftermarket blades <yet>, but as usual, I'm a bit ahead of reality... ;-)

AAWW CRRUUD!

Where'd the (#&@^& attachment go.....

....ah, maybe the file's open when trying to rename and post?

nope, nope, he's checking file names here, but that's not it......

Yo-Ho!, a byte-count to prevent mass re-posts! Clever little webmaster, heh, heh....

But you know not of Gr4yb3ard! Behold! The attachment liveth!!!

thanks larry. that took some time. cheers:cheers

Suggestions: don't attach the file, just put it in the message wrapped in "[code]", that way you can keep it up to date. Also, you might want to mark those servos that do not fit the frames. I know you have the dimensions, but it's a 'Gaui 200 servo list' and someone might take it for granted that servos that don't fit wouldn't be in the list.

Aahh, Mike,

I like to play nice when I have a chance.. My menus say "add attachment", they did no' specify exactly how...'-)

...just funning the lads and ladies working hard in the background, that we'll never see, or hear from...
Actually, you'd be hard pressed to find a better managed site, trust me, I'm a pirate.... ;-)

Please correct me if I am wrong, but according to your sheet, there are only 2 servos that fit the 200 without frame modification, the Dymond d47 and the GWS Pico. All the others are deeper than the 18.6 you said is the deepest without modification. What needs to be modified on the frame to accommodate the deeper servos? I don't have my Gaui yet, so I can not see what it is that prevents the servo from being deeper than 18.6 mm.

I was thinking about upgrading to the Hitec hs45 servos (it seems many people like them) and just wondered what I would have to change to get them to fit.

By the way the servos that come in the package I ordered are Maxwell-MX306BB and their stats are as follows:
Weight : 6.6 grams / 0.23oz.
Dimensions: 22 x 10 x 23 mm / 0.86 x 0.4 x 0.9 inch
Torque At 4.8V: 0.8kg/cm , 12 oz/in
Speed At 4.8V: 0.10 sec / 60 deg at no load

Thanks,
Joe

Change nothing. The Hitec 45 servos fit perfectly. Like a glove. Zero mods. They're great.

i agree with the surf:thumbup:

The "depth dimension of the 200 is the distance between frames, yet the servos "fit through the opposing frame side. This is common on many helis, but I take your point and will add a note to that effect on the next go-round.

These measurements are for both complete information and to allow you to decide on mounting.

My Dymond servos (cheap little rascals that work like a million bucks!!!) will not fill the width of the bay, causing some worries about support. From looking at the tables, (or heli) I also see that they pass the opposing frame, but are not supported side to side, and have but little end-to-end clearance on the opposite frame. Does this make sense?

For example: If I had a servo that was a bit short, but I could still screw down the lugs, and it was not quite deep enough to reach to the opposite frame from the mounting tabs, I would probably want a small peice of foam tape to fill in and suppot the bottom of the servo against the opposite frame.

Obviously, if my servo is too large in width for the bay, then I've got to remove material to allow it to fit.

This is what the tables are about. Sorry for any confusion....
