im thinking of buying a funtana 90. im thinking os 160 for greatest bang for the buck. the question i wanna ask is wat kind of servo power am i gonna need. is 60 ounces enough please help. im thinking cheap 3d practice so i dont wanna spend money on 645s but i will if i have too.

Can you say flutter??


don't cheap out on servos unless you want to crash.

J

definetly dont cheap out on servos or you will wad it up . minimum 645mgs

minimum 645 crap. thats gonna be a bit more money are you guys talking these http://greathobbies.com/products/pro..._id=HITHS645MS
that seems overkill when they ask for 50 ounces minimum. these are like twice recomended.

Get the crappy servos and say good bye to your plane.

Get the servos that cost like $10 more and enjoy for hundreds of flights.

you make the decision

J-TO-LOW is completly right!!!!!!

ill sell you 4 hs645mg for 120.00. let me know i dont want you crashing your plane over servos so i will give you a deal on mine.

well you guys probably have more experience than me but i have some of these sitting around wat do you think http://hitecrcd.com/homepage/product_fs.htm
they are 605s and they run 94 ounces of torque wat do you u guys think thank you buy the way.

I agree get the better servos. It like an investment in the fact that you don't have to pay all the money on a new plane when it crashes because of flutter. Besides you will be able to use them over and over on other aircraft and when you get good you will be able to appreciate the better performance you get out of them vs. buying cheap now and then having to buy the others later cause of a crash or cause you need the quicker reaction time out of the servos cause you are getting better. Just remember you may be paying more now but you are saving money in the long run. However, thats just my opinion and it is your money so do what you think is best.

im not sure of 605's i havent see them, on that site but mine have aluminum arms on it to.

I bet the 605's would work good.... and the fact that they aren't being used makes them even better! I am all about saving money too.

AT what voltage are they hitting 94 ounces?

if you go to that link to hitec and go into servos you will see a discontinued section. they are 605BB. quick rnundown on the specs....94oz of torque and .13 for 60 degrees on 6v which is wat i would be using.

The 645s would obviously be better but I think the 605s would be okay. Just remember that when you put a longer servo arm on it for 3d maneuvers that it will lower the torque value. You could also consider only getting the 645s for the ones you will be using the longer servo arms for but I think you will be okay especially if you are doing 3d. Flutter is only a problem at higher speeds but I think the 605s will be okay. Thats just my opinion and I am not quite as experience as some of these other guys so just take it for what its worth.

I use Futaba 3010s in the tail to save weight over metal gears, and 645MGs in the wings. The 3010s have 90in/oz and the 645 are 133 i think. They have worked great so far. Go with better servos, I have seen one flutter apart while using junk, mine has over 400 flights on it now, and its still going strong.
