OLD SERVOS

[mark couty]

I have an old Futaba S3104 servo. Haven't used it in a while, it was working when I took it out a boat I sold. Hooked it up after its been sitting for a couple of years, but it still works. How long does a servo last? Until it fails ??? I would like to use it in another project for a fun boat. You guys think it would be OK to use ?

Go for it. I've got some 8 tear old Airtronics 94358 servos that work well but I do not run my boats as often as most.

Take it apart and check it out. If it looks good not rusty or full of corrosion run it!

Depending on the transmitter/receiver system you are using, example, new style dsm transmitters/receivers only use 6 volt servos, most older servos have a 4.8v & 6.0 volt rating, but not all.

Go on the the Futaba home page and look up old/discontinued servos just to be sure.
