Default E-TOC setup

Hey all, decided to do e-toc again and I've been out of the foamy loop for 2 years now and was wondering the best servo/power setups, also is mark lessburg's plane kitted now? I really liked that plane and had a small hand in what I guess are now refered to as "snaggles" haha(votacy generators) anyway, Help! Thanks

I have several of the Razorbacks and they are awesome. I am using the AXI 2203-46/HackerA10-9l with a CC P10 esc 2 d47 servos on Rudder and elevator and a mod HS 55 on ailerons. Two of these have one D47 per aileron But is more weight costly. Go to insanefoamies.com to find the kit. Hope this helps!!!

I am most curious about the use of a single aileron servo, there was a really good futaba servo, but I forget what the number was...

maybe the 3114? I tried the JR 185 but they are to inconsistent and often sloppy...

I turn the HS 55 into a 7 gram powerhouse. I may have to try the Futaba 6 gram version..if someone knows of a good one

a.k.a. Vortex Generators?

Aileron servo... Futaba 3114 (analog) and 3154 (digital). Same general specs. 23 oz torque, .09 sec speed. Awesome servos! I

Good to have you back dude!

Hey Buddy, Glad to hear that you're going! Yes, Insane foamies has them. As far as servos, there are allot of good ones out there. For the ailerons, I would reccomend using one of the big Saiko servos. At 1800oz of torque, it should be able to do both ailerons. LOL :-) You might want to check out these HXT servos: http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...ec_Micro_Servo
I'm using the 9g servos on my outdoor foamy, and they are wicked fast, and centering is dead on! The price is great too. For the tail surfaces, the 4.7g dymond servos would be my choice.
Just my 0.02.

Seth, have you tried the JR 188 yet?
