.21 O/B Steering Servo

Nothing came up on a search...

Is a Futaba 3305 good enough for a .21 O/B steering servo?

Thanks.

Yes they work great for me in all my 20 tunnels.

S3305 Standard High-Torque

Volts Torque Speed

4.8V 99 oz-in. 0.25 sec/60°

6.0V 124 oz-in. 0.20 sec/60°

Dimensions Weight

1.6 x 0.8 x 1.5 in. 1.6 oz.

If your using a single servo it is a tad light on torque for an Outboard. I am using a single servo at 144 oz-in on 6 volt.

Hi-tec 645 works great for steering on a 20 tunnel.

As does the Airtronics 94162, all 3 are good.

Hitec 645MG have not broke one yet have three of these in my outboards.

Airtronics 94780 for me. I like to go substantially overboard on steering power(423oz/in). Never want to think it was my steering servo for not hold lane one at full throttle.

Anyone try a HS-755MG? It seems to be a little smaller than most 1/4 scale servos, but has a bit more torque than any standard servo. Here are the specs...

Length: 2.32" (59mm)

Width: 1.14" (29mm)

Height: 1.96" (50mm)

Weight: 4.12oz (117g)

Speed: .28 sec/60° @ 4.8V, .23 sec/60° @ 6V

Torque: 166.64 oz in (12kg.cm) @ 4.8V

199.97 oz in (14.4kg.cm) @ 6V

Are there ever issues with installing large sized servos in tunnels? This is a Cobra, don't have the boat yet.

Thanks.

The 3305 is enough power for a 21 tunnel.. I use them in both my sport and piped boats. To date i have not burned one up or had any problems with them..

I also use one in my Scale hydro.. Sport 40 and just about every place I need good power in a standard case size.

But.. this year I might switch to digi servos just for the heck of it.. I have used digis in some of my boats now and realy like em.

JR Z650R servos have worked very well for me. i have some 3 years old, still tight, no failures to date. use them in all my .21 tunnels.

Ron, are you using these with Futaba TX/RX?

Do you have to move any of the wires to make the Aitronics servo's with Futaba?

 

[Grimracer]

Rick.

They plug right in.. the days of the old non standard plug are long gone. (you want the blue plug end.. not black)

The 94162 is a darn good servo..

Just plugs right in my Futaba Receiver like Mike said........... It is the only Airtronics servo I have everything else is Futaba, never had any luck at all with Hi Tec.
