What servo's you using?

[beans07]

Whilst changing out a receiver last night I somehow managed to kill all my servo's, rx switch, governor, and vbar I am now in need of some new servo's. I originally was running Futaba BLS351's in it on a 2s Life pack.

With the BLS351 a little harder to get I thought I might try something else. I have a set of RJX HV servos and Outrage 9188 tail servo brand new in packets and would just need a throttle servo. Anyone using these? Do they fit without needing mods or anything?

I am torn on wether to use them or to buy some HV Futaba servo's as the Futaba servo's I had in it just worked so well but a lot ,pre expensive than other choices these days.

Any help appreciated.

Sorry to hear about your electrical issues I hope you figured out what caused the voltage spike!

I run a set of RJX on my TT N5c, fit is perfect! No shims needed. The 9188 tail fits no problem as well.

The RJX are becoming my go to servos. I too love my BLS Futabas but if they ever took a dump I wouldn't replace them. Just too expensive and so many good alternatives on the market right now.

The only caveat with the RJX; they have a nasty amp spike on power on that is rough on BECs. About 1 time in 5 one of the servos would fail to initialize on power up. I have tried several brands of BECs, some better than others but all failed to power up at least one servo every so often. Not a big deal, power cycle and move on. Once the servos are powered up and ready their power consumption is very nice. I run a 2s 2550 RX lipo on my N5c and i can easily get 6-8 6 minute flights on my N5c with RJX between charges.

I have never had a single power up issue with Straight RX packs. I have RJX servos on 2 birds currently and set sitting here waiting for my N7.

Thanks Chris that is exactly the reply I was wanting to hear.

I will use the RJX servos for cyclic, 9188 for the tail and I have ordered a mini RJX HV servo for the throttle. It may need some work to may it fit but that's not too much.

I plan on running them straight off 2s lipo through a bullet proof soft switch that a friend of mine designed and makes. I want a simple solution with the least amount of parts as possible.

Good news the vbar managed to survive so all that I ended up needing was the throttle servo.

Align hv servos all around and spektrum backplate sensor on vbar gov. Sorry to hear about your electronics.

Got all the servo's fitted up nicely. Feel smooth, strong, quick and quiet on the bench. Will test next weekend.
