Servo Upgrade Doesn't Exist for Me??

[NitroStar]

I'm looking for a "waterproof" servo that has the specs of somewhere around a Savox 2274SG (.095/388). I cannot find one! Both Savox 1210 (13/444) and 1211 are either a little slow or not enough torque. I know they are tried and true but the 2273 and 2274's are also but not waterproof! Why isn't there a fast strong waterproof model in the $100 to $110 range?? Frustrating. Anybody have suggestions? I've even looked a Reef's servos but same boat so far.

What BEC voltage are you running?

What BEC voltage are you running?

I'm going to get a Castle Waterproof BEC so I can get it off of the stock ESC's BEC system and set voltage to best voltage per servo I acquire and have maximum amps for the servo also.

Check out promodler servos http://www.promodeler.com/standard-servos.aspx
Excellent quality, waterproof and within your price point

Ask and ye shall receive! LOL Thanks a ton

I checked them out in the past but forgot how I got there. I remember being impressed with what they mention goes into the quality of their servos. I looked at the suggested article mentioned on one of the servos and found this information very helpful.

I read it too. Simple and to the point. I believe I've found my next servos. Will get the 630 for the Kraton and the 470 for my RC8.2e buggy.

Cool. Hope you'll share you experience. They look to be a great value.

And this is a fantastic read on ESC BEC, internal and external and why maybe some servos and rx are having trouble.

Well, I have sinned but not really LOL. I was in my local hobby shop and they had a new MKS 550 servo so I bought it instead of ordering a pro modeler like you put me on to. I still plan to get one for my 1/8 scale buggy or switch these out later. I had to order a CC-BEC 2.0, receiver bypass harness, and the Castle link (money maker item like everybody complains about Traxxas doing! Traxxas is NOT alone LOL). Can hardly wait to install it all and try it out. I'll report back.

the Castle link (money maker item like everybody complains about Traxxas doing! Traxxas is NOT alone LOL).

Just an FYI, if you buy a new Castle ESC you get a coupon for a free Castle link or a $10 field card, which doubles as a Castle link. I have 2 field cards and 4 regualr Castle links LOL.

About a month ago I got the DS470BLHV Promodeler servo for my Axial RR10 Bomber and am waiting for some axle parts to complete the building of my kit. From looks and feels like a really nice servo. It may sound weird but it is a really pretty servo with the whole thing being mirror polished. I almost don't want to mount it on my front axle to have it go through hell LOL.

I hear ya. This BEC route is costing me 67 bucks extra but I'm wanting to see how well the servo can really perform and how long the stock ESC will last without using the BEC to power any servo (just powering the receiver). Should jerk those Backflips around like 1/10 scale buggy fronts LOL. 7.4v is 499 oz in at .094 sec.
Hobbytown did call Horizon to send them a new stock servo to replace mine though ?.

I normally get the 10amp Castle BEC for like $21 or something and have my buddy make me a bypass adapter for free since he has a crimper. So it's only $21 for me to run a bec so I do it in most of my vehicles.

Yeah getting a high powered, fast servo is impressive. When you're running the stock servos you think "it's not bad, I don't need anything more", at least I always did. Which is true, you don't NEED anything more but it is impressive when you get a nice servo in there.

I still hang on to the Power HD dw-25lv.
No bec needed, direct fit, less than 100 dollars

Couldn't help myself

 

[chevys10zr2003]

Here is mine in my Axial RR10 Bomber........well it will be a Bomber eventually.

The Typhon is the first RC I have upgraded the steering servo on. I installed the Savox SW-1210-SG. ? at how much quicker the steering is. I’m trying to figure out what all I need to do to install my CC-BEC2.0 to increase the voltage, but running off stock electronics has been great

You need the castle 2.0wp and castle link to program it to run the higher voltage.

Is it bad that I DO NOT even remember making this post??? Good God I hate some of the crap that’s happened to me medically. Anyways, I already have the cc2.0wp, but I have not purchased a card. Damn-I’m still stuck on when the hell did I see this thread and post in it, I have no memory of it......lol must have been another middle of the night or in my sleep thing. Lmao. Haven’t done this in awhile
