HyperNoob Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hi i am looking for a budget friendly servo for my Hyper id prefer waterproof as i fried one at the weekend..i have found 2 but don't know if they are any good, so i was wondering if anyone on here has come across them or used them before... GOTECK GS-5515DTG ETRONIX ES092 Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke B Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I bought the Etronix a few months back and put it in the Maverick. Obviously it's not a high end servo, so it's not that fast but I find it fast enough for general messing about and it's been through a couple of deep puddles without letting me down! I would probably buy another one if I needed another water proof servo. It does make a really annoying noise though, sounds quite cheap.

Luke B Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I've just looked up the specs of both and the Etronix is very slightly slower than the Savox but has quite a bit more torque, so it's up to you. If you want one a bit more powerful I'd have the Etronix but they look fairly similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke B Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I've just had a look at the Goteck, yes it's got quite a lot more torque than the Etronix and is slightly faster. Can't find anything about it being waterproof though. It really depends on how necessary you think being waterproof is I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 You want a cheap but decent servo for a hyper and your only bashing can I recommend this one http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__29621__Turnigy_Metal_Gear_Servo_60g_15_5kg_16sec_UK_Warehouse_.html?strSearch=1501mg not waterproof but not many cheap servos are I have this in my savage flux smeared Vaseline all over it should keep the water out for a bit till I can do the job properly that's the thing the only true waterproof servo is one you do yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi i have seen it advertised as waterproof but i must say its the GS-5515DTA i think i might bite the bullet and try it out and if it ends up not being waterproof i will of tried it out then when it fries i will send it back :-) that's if i cant find a better option that is....from what i have read people seem to think its safe to use in there planes as it centers back really well...i wouldn't put anything in a plane i couldn't trust i guess.
