Mack1 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Broke my throttle/brake servo now, don't know how I manage to break stuff, must be talent or lack of. I have now upgraded to another Hitec D845WP. Total overkill but so what. Was still on offer so was a no brainer to me, and maybe a big "if " someday I want a twin steering servo setup I will be half way there at least. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 That Losi servo most nearly be nearly 10 years old, Losi quickly updated them to a rebadged Savox, the one pictured was a really cheap and nasty Hitec 805 if I remember correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1111 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 The stock servos are cheap plastic. Any servo the same size with metal gear is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1111 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) There was another rebranded servo similar to the hitec 805. OP open up the servo and see if the gears are identified as HS805? Hobbico cs80 and tower had the ts 80 I have never broke a Hitec 805 servo like this. I always broke the output gear clean off.

Tug Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hitec is my go to brand, only had one failure and that was old and used when it came to me in a second hand car. Of course they'll all fail eventually, but Hitec definitely last that bit longer, for me anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 The 805 was total junk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1111 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) I have been using the Hitec 805 when first started making them. They are ok servos. I am using them in 1/4 scale as steering and throttle servos with no problems except that I break the output gear right off. The 805MG is much better and the 5805 is digital with better power. I wouldn't recommend them for a Rebranded losi 5t throttle servo, Nylon gears can't handle the shock load. I suspect that this 900t servo is a off branded china one. The internal gears on a true 805 don't damage inside like this one did. I don't see no brake stiffener or alloy diff mount which contributed to the internal damage of the servo. In layman terms FLEX damaged the servo gears. If it was a true hitec 805 servo the servo horn would have broke off. I did look up this servo and it didn't have any replacement parts which proves that it's not a true Hitec 805 servo. But since you say it is then the OP can buy the replacement gear set for the 805 servo and fix it. You should have showed the whole post from rclagescale.com for all to see. There's always two sides to the story and you omitted the other side. Edited April 19, 2020 by 1111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 What other side? The servo had a Hitec sticker under the Losi one? Its been proven more than once that the servo is a rebranded 805, so what is your point!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lopes3d Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Got a d840 as throttle, and d845 with push and pull for a few months now and no more servo burn outs either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 They are quality servos, if my K Power’s fail, then it’s what I’ll be replacing them with 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
