KDS Servos Do Not Play Well With Others...

Check out this thread for some incompatibility issues with KDS servos.

Be careful what you mix-and-match out there!

To Summarize:

So from what I read here, if you look up the KDS Servo in it's High School Yearbook, it reads, "Does not play well with others!"

To summarize:

KDS Servos WORK with the following FBL systems:
BeastX
Spartan Vortex
KDS Ebar
Full size Vbar

KDS Servos DO NOT work with the following FBL systems:
iKon
Mini Vbar


It would be interesting to find out two different things:

1. What is it about the KDS servos that keep them from being compatible with all FBL systems.

2. What is different in the BeastX, V-Bar, and Vortex, that they are not affected by the "Peculiar Traits" of the KDS servos.

They work just fine with ikon I have flown them with ikon. Vbar I have not tested but I would guess possibly need a capacitor plugged into the mini vbar.

So you specifically flew the KDS N650HV and KDS N630HV servos with an Ikon and they worked fine?

Yes but not with spektrum sats sbus rx and full size rx.

Interesting, I wonder if the problem is just certain versions of the Ikon/Vbar and these servos. Do you have any suggestions on what these guys could try. I know they have attempted to reach KDS for help but were unable to get a response. It seems in all cases the users had to purchase other brands of servos to resolve the problem.

You can run a capacitor on ikon but with the tests I have ran with a sbus rx and full size rx no issues with out the capacitor

The KDS servos also work great with the Bavarian demon fbl unite

I had same problem with N630's and mini v-bar, even with extra capacitor.
No problem with iKon without cap.
I also run SBUS.
