What Servos Should I Get

3dbandit

100cc
Hey guys.

I am looking to get a new set of servos for the new 104 EF extra i will start building in a few days.

I lost my old 104 because my JR 8911's began failing and caused violent flutter that blew off the tail last weekend.
They twitched on the ground like they had Parkinson.

Any one have any idea what servos will hold up to the abuse I will give them? I need a minimum of 480 oz and .12 sec transit time, I prefer titanium gears.


Thanks,
Jacob

The other option which I'm taking on the 88" edge is MKS 767Hv there bloody fast and 31kg @ 7.4v
I've got 1 on my rudder and 4 more ordered for ail and elev
 
I'm running savox 1231 on my alerions and elevator of my 104 slick

They are 444 oz at 6vts and speed of .14
And a 1230 on rudder 500oz at 6vts .16 speed

159 flights and no slop I love them
