If i could give this a negative rating i would really.

At first when i was setting it up it would heat up. that was in 1520usec 70hz mode . It was also a hell of a lot slower than my turnigy mg90s when placed side by side it was a dog. But hey i gave it a try anyway.

Mounted then on my 450pro fbl with tarot 3 axis. At first i thought it was ok because it felt smooth. I had to add more gain and it was flying ok. after approx 6 flights from about 30ft up the heli went on its side and dove down to the ground. At inspection the right servo was rotating around 360 deg. i turn of the rx. after 10 mins turn on and it was ok but after a min it would wildly turn around again.

I just can believe that for a servo priced like this its soo much crap. I looked like it was built good though but take my advise its crap stay away.

I have these servos installed on my Blade 450 3D. The are working great and survived 5 crashes already. The plastic ones that came with the heli were gone after the 1st crash. I had to file the frame, where the left servo goes but like 0.5mm. Just a tiny bit to make it fit.

My only concern at this point is that HK is not offering replacement parts for it. I want to order some spare ones just in case and can't. If one of the servos goes bad I will have to replace it.

Other than that this is a great servo.

I bought 8 of these servos, very good performance, but .. I discovered there was a problem with these servos damn, I lost a ESC, a receiver and 2 helicopters, even when it's to working 4,8V there hot to if you dont have external BEC you Say Goodbye to speed controller BEC.

I've thrown away 4 servos.

and before burnig there do interference to receptor .

if you love your heli or plane,! do not use them!



he comprado 8 de estos servos, muy buenas prestaciones, pero hasta que he descubierto que era un problema de estos malditos servos, he perdido, un variador, un receptor, y 2 helicopteros, se calientan demasiado incluso a 4,8v, si no llebas BEC externo despidete del BEC del variador,

ya he de los 8 servos 4 y sigen fallando probocan interferencias.

si aprecias tu heli o avion , !no los utilices!!

These are not programable! They are lying to get you to buy them. They don't even care that they might be selling you something that NEEDS to be programmable, they will just tell you they are, and that the end. If you write them, they will tell you they dont have the technical expertise to tell you how to program them.....look up the threads. The threads all say, get the MKS Servo Transmission to program them. Dont waste your time or money! They are NOT programmable, no programmer the MKS Transmission included work. They just have them listed as programmable because they love to make me miserable and spend all my hard earned money on crap! SINCERELY! Dusty

These servos centers well and or strong and fast. Though after one minor crash (main shaft, flybar and one servohorn) it worked for half a flight and then died. I managed to hit throttle hold just before it hit the ground, but it still couldn't take that light hit. I may have got mine from a bad badge, but still...

Great little servos.



Does anyone know what servo arms fit these servos? I have tried Futaba, Hitec, HXT etc but nothing fits. Are there spare arms available?

First i used 3 of it for cyclic in alalogy mode in my HK 450pro. Very good, a little bit of play and a little bit warm, but very strong and fast enough.

Then i used it for rudder (tail with gyro Spartan Quark at 1520usec/333Hz) It lastet just for 4 flights, gets to warm and dies.

This is digitaly only usable with 80Hz!!!!!!!! = Like an analog servo.

Hobby King gets the wrong technical data. MKS shows the right rates:

1520usec/80HZ.

You should consider analogy mode if you by them.

Hobby King gets 0 Star for the wrong rates!
