fonzi06 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) Hey, looking for some new steering servos for my LST2. The stock ones just seem really underpowered... also thinking im going to invest in a Spektrum DX3. Ive heard the Spektrum comes with two of the same servos I have now, is there anywhere i can get just the transmitter and reciever? Also can you advise on two speedy servos with some good torque for the steering please. What is reverse polarity by the way?? Thanks, Edited May 14, 2007 by fonzi06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, it all realy depends on what budget you have they start at around £15 for a tower pro up to £100 for a ko propo chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSeven Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 These are good servo's for steering http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=...mp;ItemID=11169 This is what I'm using in my Savage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zcorpion Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Good servo but a bit more expensive. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=...mp;ItemID=24744 Dont know if the spektrum is available without servos but you can always keep as a backup. The T Tiger is a digital servo if the spektrum uses HRS this gives a slightly faster response. Non digital servos on an HRS radio will cook the servo.

YZ-10 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 both those servos are good, if you can scrape an extra bit of cash get one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ACE-R-C-DIGITAL-SERV...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would i need two of these? Also found a Spektrum on ebay with just the reciever and transmitter so Ill keep an eye on that. I keep breaking Antenna tubes as well, is there anything I can do about that? http://www.jespares.com/catalog/product_in...roducts_id=2806 Thanks, Edited May 15, 2007 by fonzi06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy122 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Tbh mate... the Spektrum Servo's are just plain naff.... There not really "Steering" servo's, there spare throttle servo's mainly.... And reverse polarity - i think means they work in reverse So on the transmitter u would have to fick the switch / change the setting to set which way the servo works Normal or reverse if ur after a powerful servo - looks at these The ServoShop Pro Metal Geared Servo There only £15 - p+p And there is a massive review thing of them in the review section Many people have them - me included ( ihave 2 and there brilliant ) And 1 was put in a Savage - and it apprent to see how it rules the servo world Just they really do require a hump pack/stick pack to allow for to work best Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonzi06 Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 This servo is primarily used on the steering in model cars, whilst there are other uses for it in RC we recommend it is not used on a Y lead ( as the current drawn is too great and this can lead to glitching). Does this mean ill have to go with a single servo setup? The servos that come with the Spektrum are just re-labled versions of what I have now so I dont wanna end up with 4 useless servos I think if I have to go with a single servo setup Ill end up going for the servo from JE as that has just over 5KG more torque and looks like abit of a beast Or would I be alright using two on a Y lead?

YZ-10 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 good find on je spares, i'd def go for that mate, i've heard very good reports on the ace servo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will it be too much through a Y lead? If it is too much how could i sort this? Bigger/Better battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zcorpion Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 athe ace servo and the T Tiger are both made by the same company. Just badged differently. There is a higher torque T Tiger with 14.5 kg Out of stock but you may find it elsewhere http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=...mp;ItemID=24658 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4x4 freak Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 The Ace is a Awsome Servo, You can get two if you want but one is Plenty in a LST, Makes a huge Diffrence to the LST and is one of the Best Upgrades for it other then a Set of Bowties/Crime fighters, Cheers, Philip.

Zcorpion Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Probably overkill for throttle/brake but if you want to why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonzi06 Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Probably overkill for throttle/brake but if you want to why not. I meant because the LST2 comes stock with two steering servos, im gonna keep one my current throttle servo; just wanted to know if i could use two of the Ace servos through a Y lead, the same as it is setup now or would the current draw be too much?

Zcorpion Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Two on a Y lead is no prob mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samari Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 You've got loads of good suggestions already but I'll give you another one just in case. I reccomend the Bluebird servo. It's not the most powerfull or anything but it's good value for money, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonzi06 Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Yea, ive just ordered my OS .30 as I got another cracking deal of Ebay, got yellow springs too and a nice polished pipe. Then im gonna stick in two of the Ace servos and keep an eye on Ebay for a spektrum. Thanks for the suggestions everyone Nathan, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
