New servo help

[captainlip]

I'm looking for a servo with low power consumption, ideal not a high torque servo as this seems to be a factor in drawing to many amps from my tiny rx!

Futaba would be ideal as they also 25t horns.

What's suggestions? Not looking to spend mega bucks

[captainlip]

Looking at futaba but unsure on what's suitable and strong enough for 4wd

[arransmith27]

Before selling your Savox 1258, try plugging a spektrum power cap into a spare port on the receiver.

The Savox and Tekin RS speedo combo is known to cause issues with glitching (I assume this is the problem you're having)

[captainlip]

I'm gonna use a new servo I like to try new stuff :D just can't find a futaba with the right spec for the right price

[arransmith27]

Don't know much about Futaba, but you certainly can't beat the 1258 for the price :thumbsup:

ok the speedo supplies the power to the servo through the rx, spektrum rx do not rastricet the power, you have been advised what to try, my self and others have said the savox are fine and futaba will be more money.
yet again your buldozing on in different threads about the same thing!!:thumbdown:

Eh? This thread is about recommendations on a new servo to try out

[sosidge]

There is a thread not even half way down this page that is about the best Futaba servo, and I already told you to look at the BLS series...

To be as clear as possible... Futaba BLS451 for a standard sized servo, BLS551 for a low-profile servo.

[mark christopher]

Eh? This thread is about recommendations on a new servo to try out

This is your second thread on serves in electrics, you have a wanted add in wanted for an ace servo, you want to try new but want to buy second hand, and if you had not opened the season to shorten the wire it would still work, then ur going to flog it to someone on here.

Show me a picture of your servo and wire length laid out along a rule........

Every thing you have is the best till you fook it up.......

[arransmith27]

If glitching is the problem, then a spektrum power cap will help (around £7)

if your servo wire is botched up - then consider sending the servo to Derek Bailey for repair.

Either way, it's cheaper than forking out cash for a Futaba servo which will be no better than the Savox you already have.

Totally agree
£6.50 from DMS - SPM1600
Worth a try before shelling out on a new servo

the savox constantly brings on the blue limit light when flicking the tranny wheel.

bang in an old ko propo and the blue light doesnt come on once, ive got my savox apart now to check the soldering I did when I shortened wires but all looks well.

the cap on the esc is between the motor and esc and the rx is not touching the cap.

the ko servo feels so much smoother even driving the throttle no stutters or jumps. but the ko has seen better days hence is a spare so looking for a new servo if this savox is no good

Is this the same servo you have for sale now. The same one you tried to sell last year. You have probably goosed it when soldering the internal wiring. AS mark sayspost a picture of it. If its goosed take it out of the sale section.

[mattb]

Its funny how nearly everthing the lip buys has issues,im suprised the zips on his new haulier havent jammed yet...........:p

[captainlip]

No that servo was replaced.

It was only last week when you and coleman where laughing that if you move you steering from side to side by hand it lights up your reciever!!!

[dave g]

back emf..not good

[mattb]

back emf..not goodwhat does this mean dave? the servo is creating a reverse current like a dynamo?

[dave g]

correct..a motor is a dynamo.

[captainlip]

It was only last week when you and coleman where laughing that if you move you steering from side to side by hand it lights up your reciever!!!

Actually Matt it was me and dave and we knew the response we'd get off you telling you we were doing it.

[mattb]

You dident get any response,i just told you track side exactly what daveg has said!! Im not fussed whatsoever if you want to ruin you own gear.

[captainlip]

Mate don't even start that crap, you know we did it to get a reaction from you and it did, weren't exactly saying look at this light up. Not that stupid!

[Steven Forster]

It was only last week when you and coleman where laughing that if you move you steering from side to side by hand it lights up your reciever!!!

Ive noticed this when i do the same with my futaba 2174 servo and my hitec MG645 servo both both running in seperate buggies and both using an Ansmann W3 radio with R3 receivers...............is this a problem :confused::confused::confused:

cheers

[dave g]

when you turn the servo by hand it turns the servo motor very fast,the motor acts like a dynamo (ever seen those wind up torches,same principle) and puts power into the receiver from the wrong side and lights the led up.

in essence your putting current in from the wrong side of the circuit board and the diodes cant do their job i believe.

[arransmith27]

The Savox 1258 is a power hungry servo, and the Tekin RS is known to be little bit weak with it's Bec power supply.

Speaking from experience, the spektrum powercap will certainly help.

Give it a try - you've got nothing to lose

[jcb]

I'd try one of these if you can get it:- Futaba S9550 or spektrum S6070 if your after a low profile servo.

Otherwise I can't complain about my KO2343, buts thats full size.

Must admit ever since going Brushless I have always run a spektrum powercap plugged into the receiver like has already been mentioned.

Thankyou for two decent replies

Yep but will you take any notice of them.
You have filled this forum with loads of crap time after time. Looking at your past threads you fly out the door on payday buy the newest, esc, servo or motor then the next day post problems with them.

Not exactly but I do like to buy decent stuff, and very very rarely have a problem with things, only problems I've had are diffs which was resolved ages ago and sorted since, and this it's not biggy just expected more people to have the brownout issue

[mark christopher]

[captainlip]

Must be bad luck!..... Or the well known spektrum brownout problem... Nothing to with "faulty" servos if you knew what you are talking about

[budfish]

Didn't you also think your spectrum was faulty or was that the rechargeable batterys in it! Then there was the world famous Durango faulty diffs!! Lol

[mattb]

Or the glitching with your spekrtum radio gear,because you put rechargable batterys in it:thumbdown:
Or your new bigbores are leaking (nobody elses are)

[captainlip]

Hardly leaking Matt! Not had to top them up once!

Rechargeable were replaced with standards aaaaages ago! Got you boys live in the past!

[mattb]

Ps where,s the feedback for all the stuff you have sold

[wheelspin]

Just to update you I have got hold of some of his tape. I have to admit its is the strongest tape I have ever used.
So what if my esc fell off in under three laps. but blow me there must have been over 400 flies stuck to the piece I left open by by butty box to keep the little b******s off my lunch.. I will defo order more from him:thumbsup:

[mattb]

at least i dont blatently lie on here like you!! and yes that would of been quite funny!!

[captainlip]

Funny or stupid? You decide!

And explain where I have lied? Your a terrible shit stirrer matt

[mattb]

Funny or stupid? You decide!

And explain where I have lied? Your a terrible shit stirrer mattyou lie all the time chinese bearings???

[captainlip]

Which were sold at Chinese prices! Where does most of the worlds produce come from you moron!

The £18 kits are from Germany and rated abec5 unlike Chinese abec3

Get your facts right Matt or are you another thread scanner and miss the important bits...

[bodgit]

The facts were disclosed in a thread that got deleted. You had bought the same amount exactly from china through ebay as you have in you website. Why not just come clean before someone buys a set and sends them to trading standards to check your online claims.

Your full of bs. Are you trying to tell people that you bought exactly the same number of german bearings as you did chinese ones. Do you think people are that gullable. The link you gave went to a german company who only sold to heavy industry and agricultural firms. They dont do rc bearings.
Put the link up again for people to see

You've missed the point again! I bought bearings for 3 rangos and a b44, figures to whats bought elsewhere differ!

[bodgit]

I have just checked . I can match every bearing you sell on lipzbitz to the ones sold from china by your ebay name in the sold list.

[captainlip]

And all the bearing kits ive advertised have been sold for £12.50 posted with a contribution to oople, so what you getting at? I've only sold a b44 and 1 Durango kit of the high quality bearings. On for myself and one for a member in exchange for some stickers. So where are the lies?

Im out

[captainlip]

Im out

There's nothing to delve in at, all the Chinese kits have sold and I've had to order some more kits from the german supplier as they have proved popular, when there is a problem raise it up but until then I've NEVER has an unhappy customer in all the years I've sold various bits

[mark christopher]

simple because he posts crap, asks questions and knows it all when somone offers help or advice......which he never takes

so if the servo is ok why are you selling it and getting another and not getting the spektrum fixed?, i have run spektrum since its launce and have never had a problem, could it be i know what im doing and you dont.............. you have still not proven to me by a picture of your servo you have not altered the wire, whats up, know you cant do it?

[captainlip]

Brown out! Nothing to do with servo!

[mark christopher]

ok then

I'm looking for a servo with low power consumption, ideal not a high torque servo as this seems to be a factor in drawing to many amps from my tiny rx!

Futaba would be ideal as they also 25t horns.

What's suggestions? Not looking to spend mega bucks



You can fit the P.T or power cap in any port, the live and negative rails are joined across all 4 channels so it makes no difference.

However, if your receiver is shutting down by turning the servo 3 times under no-load, a power cap wont fix it, sounds like the servo is the issue.

This happened with a guy at our club, and once he changed the servo, the problems went away. We fitted a large powercap, and it made it slightly better, but didnt fix the issue until the servo was replaced.

I've always thought this was the issue, it even happened with my sr3300t rx

So what's the problem as the servo it rated at 6v but is also digital coreless... If that's what's making it draw to much power

What similar performance servos are available that don't draw a similar amount of current from the rx

The specs of the servo isn't an issue, and as Ian just pointed out he runs his with no problems.

I think your problem lies with a dodgy servo, have it sent back to CML for testing.

Tekin rs pro, defo not the speedo. Applied many tests, wirings perfect.

Powercap sorted it on my sr3300t so will do it for the micro no doubt.

I've been meaning to put an ace servo in for a while so may be time to do a test

[captainlip]

Ok I'll make it clear for the simpletons

It's a process called brownout
The servo is not at fault
But It is the servo that causes it
A power cap resolves the issue
But I don't want to run with a cap if necessary
So that's why I'm looking for a lower power consumption servo


No lies, no bs, no scamming, no ripping off, ad I've read the WHOLE thread....

[arransmith27]

7 quid for a power cap or 70 quid for a futaba servo you don't need........

The choice is yours - I give up

see Still posting crap
the servo does not draw power from the reciever, it draws power from the speedo, you have been told this many times
finally you dont want to spend big bucks but you want the best, well you frikin clown, you have the best servo for little bucks, if your that much of a tight arse go fit a cap to the dam reciever

you not even giving anyone a glue as to what your putting it in so you want us to use a crystal ball to know your reguirements, well as your now the clown pop back to the circus you came from and ask mystic meg....:thumbdown:

Yeah regardless of servo it needs a cap, no biggie didn't want to use one but no choice!

[arransmith27]

Yeah regardless of servo it needs a cap, no biggie didn't want to use one but no choice!

yes, as good as the Tekin is (it really is a great piece of kit), its BEC circuitry isn't too good when it comes to powering hungry servo's

You can't go wrong with a Savox.

One word of caution, be careful with the wires on the powercap - they can be a bit fragile and can break if flexed too much.
