these servos ok for basic flight setting up 550

[dominic]

I asked the guy i bought the 550 from he said these will be fine for basic flihgt ,I have these new already from a trex 600,they are 3-hitec HS-6965HB for cycle,and 1-futaba-S9252 for the tail, thanks for the help

looking at the specs you will never need to replace those hitecs till ya destroy them.their faster than most tail servos :rolling

[dominic]

so i will be good? even with that futba for the tail?

[kahn10]

the 9254's perfect with the 401 for the tail.the hitecs seem kind of overkill.i'd be tempted to put them in a safe place for later and put 3 hyperion atlases or futaba 3001s or 3151s or something along those lines.0.08 seems pretty quick on your cyclic for basic flying.some of the other boys might have a better idea.........

but to answer your original question... yes, they'll work.. for basic flight all the way to advanced hard core 3D

[kahn10]

a little expo would be a good thing i reckon :roll:

thanks guys the stuff this guy gave me with the trex 450 and 600 package was unbelivable, so much ,i also have another full new set of 4 servos for a trex 450 size chopper ,he gave me so many parts , i got a new trex 600 CF upgraded to the hilt ,tt tail new motor ,and new extra motor,and a 450 upgraded to the hilt ,jr 7202 radio,2 chargers , balancers ,volt meters , books, 3 batterys thunder power for the 450,and 1-new for the 600 that cost 300.00 alone,got this deal shipped for $1000.00 I could not pass it up, so I sold the trex 600 last week before I crashed it , I know my limit, for 1000.00 and am using these parts to build the 550 always look on these fourms ,I do daily, thanks again for your help

If that tail servo is the S9252 it is too slow for a good tail servo. If it is a S9254, it is a great tail servo.

Small number difference, but BIG difference in performance.

The HS6965s are very good cyclic servos.

[dominic]

it is the 9252 others are saying it is fine,? i am only doing basic flight

[kahn10]

no. my mistake bro.i saw 9254.....:roll:.....you need something faster for your tail.check the servo the hyperion http://www.allerc.com/product_info.php?products_id=3489 seems to be a good one for a good price.it will be faster than your cyclics :lol: and runs 6v no need for stepdowns etc

[dominic]

ok but the othre 3 servos are fine correct? I just need a new tail servo?

[mysticmead]

yes.. they're fine..

[dominic]

dam those tail servos are not cheap to bad this one wont work

[mysticmead]

the DS20GMD is $38 that's cheap!

[dominic]

yea that is no prob, thanks i will get that one

[Pinecone]

The tail servo is the one that you don't want to cheap out on.

It has to be fast, and strong enough, and they get worked VERY hard. Personally, I only use deisgned for tail servo use tails servos.

You can find S9254s for sale about $60.
