Jerry Lunt Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 After umming and arring over what servos to get for my new Mini Vec, I decided to go for Turnigy's from the UK warehouse of HK and I'm well pleased. I got 2 TGY-2216MG for the fuselage and 4 TGY-778MG for the wings. I probably would have had the 777's for the wings if they'd been in stock. 2 days from order and I have 'em without hassle. Interesting that the sending company marked on the box was something innocuous rather than HK. Less temptation on the way I presume. Anyway, the servos all work smoothly and quietly but what I liked most with the wing servos was the supply of 3 plastic and 1 alloy single servo arms with each one. The plastic ones are good and thick with 3 holes and a reasonable blank area inside the holes for drilling to my own radius requirement. Brilliant.

Woodstock Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I have been using Turnigy servos (from thin wing types through to powerful standard types) with great success for some years now. Having said that, they are not all born equal: some seem to be exact clones of other makes (MKS for instance), others are COMPLETELY different...

John T Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 All starting to look very similar. Is anyone using the Ripmax quartz servos yet? http://www.sloughrc.com/default.asp?WPG=SRCM_HomePage1&PageNumber=1&s=c:Quartz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 This servo is rapidly becoming my standard servo for a number of applications. It even says it's waterproof, as I fly float planes this was my introduction to it, but now I use it in my gliders too. http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__8760__Turnigy_380MAX_Micro_Servo_Metal_Gear_4_1kg_16sec_17_4g.html John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexBOF Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Have used Turnigy 712G wing servos for some time now and have never sent any back which is not the case for others like Hyperion. The 712 seems to have the strongest gear train I have come across. http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__22688__Turnigy_TGY_S712G_Alloy_Case_Digital_Slim_Wing_Servo_Metal_Gear_7kg_12sec_28g.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
