dwarfy Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I have been out of the hobby for a couple of years but getting back into it starting with adding hydros to my FG bug (thanks Carpmart). Before I got out of it I was looking at getting new steering and throttle servos but things have probably moved on a lot since then. What would you recommend for each?

Oh How Original Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I know some people have different configurations in FGs, so does it run standard size or jumbo or a mix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarfy Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 It has twin Hitec jumbos (805bb I think) for steering and standard sized Hitec 645mg for throttle at the minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Savox 0235 or 0236 are quite popular choices.. As are the Hitec 845, but they are a bit of a weird size so it's worth double checking those will fit. Standard sized, really there's a lot of options, from Savox, Hitec, Xpert etc... Maybe try checking Modelsport in the servo section then go by budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarfy Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 I was looking at Savox before I stopped using it so will look at them, thanks, and will check out the standard sized for throttle. Do hydro brakes need a higher torque servo? Never had them on before only cables which were a pain so didnt stay on long so just used a layshaft tuning brake which is pretty good even with the 645 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarfy Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 I forgot I took a punt on a Blue Bird 630mg throttle servo which is in my marder. Sure it has 14kgs of torque so was pretty decent for the brakes and never had any problems with it. Will probably just leave that in the marder and go with new for the bug though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
