I have no idea??? You need the mini-servoI should you that I had with the burnt out gears in it. Howevr, you don't want the micro, those are even much smaller.

Propjockey, yeas, I got it yesterday thanks. yeah he'll be using it. What did you use to gring out the passage to make sure oil gets into the bearings like that??

 

[Propjockey]

Just a drill bit. The other half of the passage is in the lower end. With the guts pulled out and the PTO and mounted to the foot, you just drill straight in from the side where the two meet.

will this work?

You sure Rod? I've never used one of them, but according to the spec sheet, transit time is .1 sec through 60 deg. That's pretty fast in my book.

Maybe a better choice?

I bought three of the standard size 120 oz servo's (well something of that ounce and torque). The first one I put in my B-Mod tunnel, every time I turned it left to right it wouldn't center. The crappy part was it took a week to turn left and right....it was sllloooowwwwwwww............If you pushed the motor with your index finger while holding the servo in a turn with the radio, it would flex back and forth. That's definitely not what you want when O/B to do while your doing 50+ and the water is pushing back. I figured well lets use my new "Y" wire Futaba connector to join them and double them up, they went into a seizure when doubl joined.

The second servo directly out of the package glitches and wobbles.

The third new one out of the package burnt my receiver out because the wires inside the casing were spliced together and making contact to the red and black wire.

Yeah, that's not my experience with the mini-servos for usually the better high torque servos dictate the whole bunch of them!

That's my $0.02 cents

Darkhedeos,

If you think the $10 investment in that servo to get your boat is worth it than go for it, than that's up to you!

Sometimes you just got to try things and learn from your own experiences.

 

[Dorkhedeos]

[Dorkhedeos]

Buy a good SERVO, There are things to go cheep on and its not a servo

I really hope after the boats get done you really push the guys on here and all the help you have gotten to OTHERS.
