    The NEW King of Standard Size Servos - HSR-M9382TH

    By the way, I should throw this out there for everyone. The Hitec HSB line of servos are the only servo on the planet that was designed and engineered by Americans. The chipset came from an American engineer and the motor is designed by NEU Motors, an American based company.

    The NEW King of Standard Size Servos - HSR-M9382TH

    Except that the BlueBird BLS-H51B, when tested in a laboratory with over a dozen different servos, came in dead last with actual torque output at less than 300oz/in. This is a far cry from the supposed 737oz/in claim that it makes, meaning its actual torque output is overstated by almost 60%...

    The NEW King of Standard Size Servos - HSR-M9382TH

    I want to say the 700 was closer to 450. I don't know what the 1000 model tested to but it wasn't any more impressive.

    The NEW King of Standard Size Servos - HSR-M9382TH

    Yes, actually even the 1000 was tested and they both fell rather short of the claims. I know it sounds like I'm just bagging on everyone here but I'm tired of the overstated torque values by every manufacturer- they constantly lie through their teeth at everyone to sell product because (no...

    The NEW King of Standard Size Servos - HSR-M9382TH

    When I was with the company, I repeatedly asked over and over to have 7.4v rated servos tested to 8.4v and post those specs, but for some reason that was never explained to me, they never were interested in it. What I always told people who were interested in the 8.4v spec was to multiply the...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    When I saw stuff like this happening it was usually because the FCC was sue happy and went after the manufacturer real hard. They're probably just trying to cover their rears :confused:

    The NEW King of Standard Size Servos - HSR-M9382TH

    The more budget friendly option is the D950TW. Several ex-Savox users I';ve talked to have switched from 2290's and 1270's to this servo and have reported a much crisper flying airframe with no odd tendencies. The few 2290 equipped airplanes I've flown all had odd elevator sync issues which...

    The NEW King of Standard Size Servos - HSR-M9382TH

    @acerc, that is not a measure of torque. Torque is a rotational movement, not a linear movement that a servo arm subjects a control surface to. You cannot test a servos output torque by hooking a servo arm to it and seeing how much force it can pull. If you tried this test with the 9380 (I...

    The NEW King of Standard Size Servos - HSR-M9382TH

    So the PAD was developed afterwards. A byproduct of the efficient design was a regenerative function where the servo actually returns some of the power it uses (much like how a hybrid car recharges its battery when decelerating). The PAD is an intelligent capacitor that soaks up the excessive...

    The NEW King of Standard Size Servos - HSR-M9382TH

    So here's the thing you guys don't understand about the HSB-9380TH/HSB-9381TH/HSR-M9382TH, which I'm happy to talk about because i'm so passionate about this particular technical aspect of the hobby: First off, the 9382 has little to no use with airplanes, so disregard it entirely. Secondly...

    Discussion Help to find a true 150 cc 3D plane.

    39lb and change with a ZDZ180. I didn't have a DA150L hanging around otherwise I woulda chucked that on the nose and saved the 180 for a much larger airplane. The 150 on the 115 does fly pretty damn amazing though and I wouldn't be searching for more power. As is it has an overabundance of power.

    Andrew designed the 115 Laser for a 150, it flies amazing on that engine.

    Brandon Reimschiissel was in town this week so we met up to fly my 105 AJ Laser. As a heads up to forum goers here, I am no longer affiliated with Hitec RCD USA, Inc. I can still answer tech questions but I am no longer able to speak on behalf of the company.

    Mechanical setup is how you physically have the airplane setup. If you notice it tucks one way or another in knife edge it can usually be alleviated by placing your batteries higher or lower in the fuselage.

    Does it just fine. Usually it's a mechanical setup that causes this.

    Rebuilt 7, 9380's last night with new cases. 400+ flights and still impressive that the gears are as tight as new. Off to a new owner today :)

    Discussion Flying Fields, How Big is Enough?

    Most clubs I've been to have at least a 50ft wide by 300-600ft long runway. 300ft is the bare minimum I would say, this is plenty for most models to land on (including high speed prop planes and jets) and still short enough to be manageable.
