Hitec 5945 and 5955 all the way !

Luiyo · 07-02-2006, 01:37 AM

JR 8611a all the way around

:198 :

TazmanianDevil · 07-02-2006, 09:39 AM

8611 all the way
All athers just can't make up to them

Hector · 07-02-2006, 02:17 PM

For my self, (for big airplanes) JR's 8611a are the best pick. My resaon is for Power output, Power consuption (is lower) compared to Hitec 5955. They center better than other servos.

Now fot Guidance (Tx) is another story, but that's another subject.

Regards,

Hector!!

I think that JR puts out the best servos but for the value I think Hitecs are the best.

The Hicrash 5955 TGs have big stepping chunky movement but they are the lesser of 3 evils..

Flatlandman · 07-02-2006, 09:42 PM

I like Hitec and JR servos i dont know much about the Futaba servos.

ZXPilot · 07-02-2006, 10:39 PM

I'm normally a Futaba servo user but I just stocked up on some Hitec 5945s and 5955s for my new Yak. I want to try out the programming capability for matching the servos.

i think they just discontinued the 5945 and are coming out with 5985 to replace them wich i think are the same servo woth titanium gear

Hitec 5955 TG all the way i have hundereds of flights on my 5955 TG's and no slop at all.....

And thats the advantage. One can achieve true linearity. If I where to do it again, I'd go with the 59TG series with the programer.

excelpoint · 07-03-2006, 03:20 AM

Got to say I was a die hard JR fan(8611's etc) but after continually getting gear slop on brand new servos(8611's) after only 30-40 flights I switched to Hitech 5955TG's and wouldnt go back.

analog_boy · 07-03-2006, 02:08 PM

i have to say i have been very happy with my hitecs. The price is right and programability is a great feature.

Flatlandman · 07-03-2006, 02:13 PM

Hey just found out the 5985 s will not be titanium gears just upgraded case,motor other small things

so for me the 5955 are the servos ill be using if the wallet can handle it

Same thing happened to me. I run smaller arms on my servos now with new gears in hopes of achieving some longevity out of my $114.95 ea 8611A's. For the money, I am really disappointed with the JR high end servos.
