jetset Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 i have just got hold of a FG Marder which servos do you recommend for brake & steering thanks for any advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 What's your budget.... For steering, either a Savox 0235 or a Hitec 5765 brake ... Savox 1256 (20Kg torque) if you can afford it at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_TDi Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I have a Hi-Tec on the steering and a powerHD on the throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarfy Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I tried a Bluebird 630mg from JE Models for the throttle / brake and its been faultless. http://www.jemodels.com/petrol-models?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=8352&category_id=638 I have twin Hitec 805's for steering at the minute which work well enough but have been thinking of changing to a single Savox 0235.

(-:AD:-) Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 throttle: Savox 1256 steering: rhino digi 4, savox 0235, 0236 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctruckz Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I used to use a rhino digi 4 for steering lasted me years until the 1st gear finally stripped, I ordered some new gears and while fitting them I noticed the circuit board of my rhino is that used by the hitec 57xx as the numbers are printed on the circuit board! I knew hitec bought multiplex a few years back, but my rhino is 8+ years old! so ive now bought a hitec 5765 which is half the price of a rhino yet exactly same servo apart from casing, for throttle im soon gunna be getting a hitec 5645 to replace my mpex power speed, cant go wrong wih hitec servos, been around for years, troed n tested backed up by good support :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norney hurtmore Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 i used to run hitec 805's really good servo but a bit slow changed to hitec 5755 and never looked back use the 5765 in my MCD but they have less torque at 6v than the 5755 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctruckz Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 i used to run hitec 805's really good servo but a bit slow changed to hitec 5755 and never looked back use the 5765 in my MCD but they have less torque at 6v than the 5755 they have exactly same torque, they use same gearing & motor, they are basically exactly same servo.. only difference is the 5765 has an updated circuit board that supports 7.4v for lipo etc & is slightly faster: Hitec 5755 Spec Hitec 5765 spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) So it looks like hitec get the most votes, next is where do you guys buy them from? If I was to go for hitec throttle & steering what would I be looking for? Edited April 20, 2013 by Bigjimknickers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjimknickers Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 So you can buy a lipo rx battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctruckz Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 the 5755 has 25kg at 6vthe 5765 has 20kg at 6v or 25kg at 7.4vMy bad i miss read the info, judging by that then (unless your planning to go lipo anytime soon) the 5755 is the better option, only prob is the 5765 has replaced the 5755 but im sure there will still be some knocking about.So you can buy a lipo rx battery?Yup, providing the servo you buy supports the voltage (7.4v) ..not 6v.
