Re: Hobbico Servos
I use them in my 67" Fusion.
Hobbico/Tower servos are all made by Hitec and Futaba... gotta compare specs to see which servo is which.... in most cases parts are interchangeable.... they are the same hitec/futaba servos with a different badge on them. |

Re: Hobbico Servos
I've been looking at these servos... I may try the cs-150's in my funtana100X.
They look like they have good speed and torque |

Re: Hobbico Servos
I used the 150's in my 33% Cap. Wanted to try something completely different and cheap and I gotta tell you they work pretty darn well.
Or course they don't perform like an 8611 or similar but for 40 bucks they're not bad. I'm going to leave them on the plane except for the elevators. They seemed really sluggish, I guess because there was only one per side, as opposed to 2 on the rudder and 2 on the ailerons. They seem to center just fine and at 6.3 volts have decent speed(I set my reg up a little higher) |

Re: Hobbico Servos
oh another question i see this on the page..
This servo can produce high-current draw from your batteries. If using NiMH or LiPo batteries, make sure they are capable of delivering sufficient amps. how would i be able to tell.. the radical rc battery just has a sticker saying 1650mah... mike

Re: Hobbico Servos
I would pass on the Hobbico for now, they don't have a fixed manufacturer, sometime Futaba sometime Hitec and the new 150 160 170 have strange casing from the usual ones !!!
