Servo question

[RyanC1332]

So I’m looking at buying a cheap steering servo found one on Amazon but there’s two different numbers 180° and 270° does that matter I wasn’t sure what radius I need to get

It doesn’t matter. Either one will work fine since you’ll be asking it to turn less than 180 degrees.

Cool, thank you I found a 45 KG servo for like 35 bucks figured hell even if the torque is lied about still gotta be better than the 665 stock servo

Almost anything is better than stock

That 665 servo is actually pretty good. I wouldn’t replace it with an Amazon cheapo.

Either keep it or buy a nice $100+ servo IMO.

It poop the bed on me that’s the only reason why I’m replacing it as of right now I took the stock one out of my Mojave and put it in my Kraton so I can play with i in the Nice weather.

Agfrc, reefs, perfect pass, protek, savox. All pretty good brands.

It does not matter just set the end points

The 6s rigs do well with at least a 35kg or better servo & a 0.13 or better transit speed. Regardless of brand or angle.

Haven’t tried that DS3245 servo, but I have several DS3235 Pro (blue) and DS3230 Pro (red). The blue is better and it can also handle 7.4 and 8.4v, whereas the red one has a max of 6.8v.

Ought to do well. 45kg at 7.4v & 0.13 transit speed. Great price!

After using a handful of DS servos, I am very skeptical of their listed specs and have sworn not to buy them again.

I've not had good luck with the DS3235. Too slow. Never tried a 3245. I like the Power HD 40kg(at 8.4v) servo, all red full aluminum case. 35kg at 7.4v & 0.12 transit speed.

Did you also try the Pro version? I found it quite a bit faster.

I agree. Starting out, they are good & save some coin. The Power HD red servo I use the most is, um, about 60 bucks iirc

No! I didn't know there was a PRO one. Cool. The DS servos are good servos, for the price. I have 3 of them. Two DS3235 & A DS3225.

Well, I saw the reviews on that 45 one didn’t look too bad. I gave it a shot. That’s the worst thing can happen. I waste 35 bucks or whatever it was mean at least until I get a little bit better at bashing around Before I go buy in those hundred plus dollar ones. I’ll probably end up ordering it this weekend and then try it out.

I think you'll be good dude. I've never had a DS fail me. And they are a great price. And either rig- Mojave or Kraton, should power them nice!
