Servo Selection

syn- · 11-29-2006, 10:00 PM

When I started planning out this heli I was looking to use the JR 8311 servos I already have that came as a bundle with my 9303, but now I'm second guessing myself. I've been eyeballing the Futaba 9351 servos because their torque and speed specs are a bit better than that of the 8311 servos (see specs below). So what do you guys think, is it worth dumping the extra money into the three 9351's that I would need for the CCPM setup? Unless I hear that the 8311 servos are just junk, I think I'm going to stick with what I've got.

JR 8311 (4.8 volts):
Torque: 130 oz/in
Speed: .18 sec/60°

Futaba 9351 (4.8 volts):
Torque: 153 oz/in
Speed: .16 sec/60°

There's just a little difference between them. Buy the cheapest and buy fuel.

Speaking of fuel.... I've been running wildcat 30% and I like it, but it is a real SOB for me to get my hands on. Is there anyway to order this stuff online without paying a fortune for shipping (I'm willing to buy 3-5 cases) or should I just break down and fly cool power?

If you buy 5 cases from Wildcat you might get it shipped from Wildcat.
