Topic: DS Servos

Well I wasn't sure how to manage this as I am interested in more than ust the DS'ers input but due to the fragmentation where do we post servo threads.

First point, looking for new servos for a d40. not sure if the link will work correctly but this is what I am looking at, and interested in other options.
an 8mm is too big, but what most people are using.

The second point, what are peoples opinion of the kst servos (MKS6126 competition) ?
Anyone had them round the back yet?

Will

Lets see if we can keep this one on track

They're 10MM thick, I can tell you that.

Noth thinking of putting the kst's in the d40. a bit over kill I think.

Guess no-one's tried them yet, Will.

Haven't checked out the rcg thread in a while but, last time I looked (some weeks ago), none of the guys in the States who had bought them had posted any feedback.

Just ordered 6 more. And I have 2 in action at the moment but not had enough usage to give any feedback yet.

 

on the bench the 125 seems a good servo. But I haven't had chance to try them in a  model yet.

I am installing them in my pace VXE which is a moderate DS model i guess.
Bit of a slow build the pace, but it is on the bench.

Is that new. Never seen it before. slightly smaller with less torque. I guess it will depend on space, if you can fit the larger go for it.
I have a 60"'er going together soon, and would like to try them out. Think It will see allot of flight with 50% DS I hope so it should be a good test.
My biggest concerns are reliability and slop after use.
