Hitec Servo

[BrahmaBullSQ]

okay... i'm tired of breaking my futaba s3003 standard servo. i'm going to get either the hitec HS-525MG 5-pole motor servo or the HS-615MG. the 525 is high speed and the 615 is high torque.

my backyard track isn't that tight of a course so i don't know if i should get high speed or high torque. I have a T3 and i'm going to get one of the servos for my tc3. which do YOU think i should get??? thanks

You say your sick of breaking your servo in your T3.
This may sound like a basic question but have you checked that your servo saver is working?
You should be able to hold the servo horn stationary and push the steering via the wheels in either direction. You should see a v shaped gap open up on the shaft of the servo saver.

I broke two servos before I noticed my servo saver in by B3 was too tight. I found that the spring in the servo saver was too long, so I ground some off. Never damaged a servo since. Always check the SS is working before each driving session.
Cheers!

well i'll tell you that you are making a great choice with the Hitec MG servo's... with ur TC3 i would go with the high speed servo and the T3 high torque. i have those 2 setup for mine and they work great.
