Servos

The S136L servo design has been changed, the board is smaller and there is a capacitor across the two motor outputs. Looks better than the old design.

Does it go the same way as the original?
When GWS updated the Naro they changed the direction of the motor!
(Stick up = clockwise became stick up = anti-clockwise)
Very confusing when you try to use one old one and one new one for drive with a Tx mixer

I gave up with naros, when i found they burnt out on 6V, but that is very odd gary. I don't know if that is the case, i took the motor out and used that in my old gearbox

I've got some HPX F servo's to play with and they are nice and nippy at 6V. Has anyone got these servo's and tried them at 7.2V (2 Lithiums)?

Thanks.

I think Joacim has been running those on 2 lipos, in flippt!

Yep, had them in Duff at AWS 16 on 7.2v. They're reasonably quick on 7.2v. I had them speed hacked at RRC afterwards, and they were just stupidly quick.

I now have 4 of them speed hacked in TNT

Shame it probably wont be at AWS17.

Well not exactly, I mistook the HPX F for a Park Flyer and went to aws 16 with it using it as a flipper, and I was running it on 7.2V Ni-Mh during that event. Next time I will use a HPX F with 8.4V lipos

And I thought that the Park was quick

And I gave up on them when they kept burning out on 4.8V!

They provide so much power in such a small package that they are clearly not rated for continuous operation (see other topic re. power dissipation in motors!

)

Thanks guys, 2 Lithiums it is then. They are a bit to slow for my liking at 6V

but at 7.2 they should do nicely. Can't imagine them speed hacked.

I think i've only killed 1 HP Naro, killed at least 2 SD200's, maybe 3.

PeteW has killed at least 1 Saturn 64 of mine. In revenge I'm sure Pixiedust had one of his servo's apart.

cut out the board and use a sozbot controller, I've ran Naro HP motors on 21v (yes twenty one volt) its the boards that fail rarely the motors. Can only be done with brushed motors its not possible with brushless motors

btw isnt the smiley funny >>>
