New Blue-Bird servo's on way.

[woOdy]

Just had an email to say my New BLue-Bird servos are on the way.

[Lee]

Stu who is the UK stockist and is there a reccommended one for Off roaders

[DCM]

I got two of them, and they are ace.

Woody, if you intend to use the alloy servo arms, they may need drilling out.

Lee - The only ones I would reccomend right now are the 616 and 617mg+hs

The 616 is higher torque and the 617 is higher speed. I have raced with both and they were good. They are Futaba spline fitment - though it is a bit tighter than you'd expect.

think its CML http://www.cmldistribution.co.uk/quicksearch.php

[DCM]

CML don't, I beleivethey are just stocking the flight servos for now.

Bluebird 617 rocks, iam running that in all my cars @ the mo. I have some 661's to try too.

[DCM]

I got the 661 in the tourer, not ultra fast, but too fast makes the car twitchy, strong though.

[woOdy]

Is there a small servo that could go in a 4wd to make room for brushless? also pretty fast.

stu i run the Futaba 9550 i think and its half the size of a standard servo. Not cheap though bout £80

Cheers Lee. I was meaning Blue-bird?

[jimmy]

don't think they do one for car racingwoody - I ran a half height bbird in my rc10 but killed it on saturday - it's just not meant for that level of abuse.

[Lee]

ha ha sorry mate

[Elliott Hopkins]

Yikers they look pretty cool. I've found them for £30 so they are inexpensive, cheaper than Hi-Tec's. How do they compare to other brands? Is there a website I can check out?

Do tell me more.

Elliott.

I went from a KO servo to the BlueBird and found it nice on turn in, although it lacks the overall grunt of a FET servo it's still more than enough for off road racing.

[janus_77]

For those who have used the Bleu Birds for a wile, do they center OK? I tried other cheaper servo's (HiTec) but preformance was fine but they just wouldn't center properly.

[woOdy]

My servo's have turned up this morning. They look small but it is me. look pretty cool though. Will see what they r like in the cars.

617HT+HS AND ANOTHER, THE 1 LOWER TO IT, CANT REMEMBER.

[jimmy]

1 lower than a 617 huh, could that be the 616 ? just a guess.


I am running the 617 in the Tamiya 501X and the 616 in the Tamiya Keen Hawk
