Senton Servo

[ZachSadlieer]

Any suggestions for a new servo for the senton. And cheap 3s battery’s

Get a servo from @arrmadave. He did a bulk buy and is passing the savings along to us.

I like SMC batteries. They have a wide variety of capacities and cell counts.

Search for the DS3225 on Amazon. Get the 180 degree version. Should be under $25.

For an inexpensive lipo, this will vary by region as there are restrictions on shipping lipos. HRB, Ovonics, and PowerHobby are all found on Amazon too. All are decent values.

This one ds3225sg coreless

I personally like this servo. It has a load of torque and speed, perfect for the 3S trucks. And for lipos, I recommend a HRB 6000MAH 3S 50C. They fit perfectly if you take out one of the limiters, they are inexpensive, and I get about 35-40 Mins on one battery if I can manage to not break it ?

That’s only a 15kg servo. Kind of weak. ??‍

Hm I’ve always thought it was more... it whips my MX28s around no problem?

What's the coreless bit about?

 

[drjim]

What's the coreless bit about?

It's the type of motor used in the servo.

 

[RJUK]

How does that compare with the regular DS3225 then?

 

[Outcastblxnut]

Faster smoother stronger

 

[RJUK]

Oh right. Why does everyone recommend the regular one then? Looks like the price is about the same for both...?

 

[Outcastblxnut]

Cause they never tried the sg

 

[jondilly1974]

I actually own both. If there’s a difference it’s beyond my ability to notice. I have the blue in the Typhon 3S and a red in the K4S and Granite. I have a JX Eco in the Typhon 6S and that sucker is faaaaast ??

So what's your favourite of the three?

Well the JX isn’t waterproof so I wouldn’t bash with that and the two DS 25kg are both fine. The blue one I have in my speed runner and I turn down the expo to like 50% anyways so really any servo would probably be fine. The truck both have the red ones and work great. I have issues with servo savers more than I do with servos.

What happens with the savers? I still have the 123 in there. Hoping it will be OK.

Can’t say for sure but it seems like the spring inside got stretched to the point it would spin 90 degrees freely

Hmm, well I'll try what I have and replace it if I kill it, I guess.
