Very Important !! I have a 1.5 Kg and fly gliders very good, I make the first flights with care to ensure the perfect operation
16/07/2010 Yesyns (24%)
I used it on my TRex 450. Result is that it is not recommend to use it on the tail. Not last long, about 30min life after 5 flights(~5min per flight)....
Aefer

Yes it is too slow for a tail servo. I use them as cyclics though.
vynner
(64%)
well obviously this is not a tail servo..
for cyclic its ok..
do get a digital tail servo for your tail..
you may have to spend a little bit more but you will save more in the long run avoiding tail servo failure, save your heli and helps you fly more confidently and safer...
tommo85
(42%)
DEFINETLY DO NOT USE AS A TAIL SERVO!
Only ever use proper servos rated for such use. Because of the nature of the signal coming from the gyro, tail servos are under constant load, ALWAYS in transit mode, even though, we as humans, may not be able to see it moving, however you can hear it. Not to mention, that it is very much on the slow side to be a tail servo too. Also, it is not digital, so not as accurate, try a MKS DS545
Yesyns
(24%)
Yes, for Cyclic is much better and a bit longer in usage as long as your heli not crashed. If so then you have to observe it again* need to replace if not moving or jittering. Those who want to use it for tail servo, its your own risk....... *)

Hi friends: Is this a DIGITAL servo?. If not, do I have to switch off in DS switch in Gyro?(Hobby King 401B AVCS Digital Head Lock Gyro) Thanks a lot
Bikalho
(58%)
This is not a digital servo, if you are going to use it with this gyro you will have to switch off de DS switch in gyro.
Waco
(78%)
Yes, HXT900 is not a digital servo. If you will use this servo with Gyro, you must switch off digital mode and use analog mode (see manual).
tommo85
(42%)
this is not a digital servo, and is not recommended at all, for a tail servo for any helicopter under any circumstances.
spend some more money and get a decent tail servo, it will make your life so much easier.
Try a MKS DS-545 or similar for a 450 sized heli.
however if you were to use this as a tail servo, set the gyro on servo type to normal or standard. then set direction and limits accordingly.

Heyas,
This is NOT a digital Servo. Most 401 Type Gyros have a little toggle to decide either Digital or Analog. Be sure you set it to Analog on the Gyro.

I've got a bunch of these servos and never had that problem. You might have got a defective batch. Great servos, I will buy more of them.
Napstr
(93%)
Gees that would depend on what tools you have available - at any rate the cheapest and best option would be to purchase some replacement gear sets - even though they are 1/3 the cost of the servo it is still a cheap unit! otherwise cast aside as spares - unfortunately it appears you got a bad batch. Small consolidation is that the mishapen output gear is normally not the gear that is stripped so you will still end up with a useable gear set.
tommo85
(42%)
Man that sucks. Buy some more servos, and pray for some better horns. You strip servos and kill pots like crazy using these in a 450 heli. Yet horns never die, so just keep all the old horns out of all your old servo boxes, they do come in handy sometimes.
Aefer

Thanks all for your answers. the horns did press on with some reansonable force. bit nervous forcing fragile plastic bits together :S
Installed them in the heli and they work great.

Aefer-
I just received 4 of them also. They look like you describe. The splines are there but faint. I can feel them with my fingernail, though, and when I jammed a horn onto the shaft (with a little force) it seemed to be fine.
I suggest you try a 'slightly bigger hammer'! (aka, go ahead and push a little harder.) :) vfrjohn

Did anyone received this with coreless motor, 15cm wire and teflon bushing? Mine has simple brushed motor, 25cm wire and no any bushing. Even visually, the motor looks on product photo a bit different.
Graham Daniel
(45%)
No, it's a cheap servo, good value for not much money. No coreless motor at this price. If you are learning though (to fly), then buy a few spare gear sets, or get a metal gear equivalent.
Aykut
(23%)
Coreless motors are better for less electromagnetic interference, but this servo never caused such a problem for me(My receiver is mounted only 2-3cm away from two HXT900s ).In fact, I don't think a servo of this size would cause an interference even if it doesn't have a coreless motor because it does not draw too much power like the standard or bigger ones. I think the teflon bushing stands for the material servo case is made of, it provides enough support and good lubrication even with no grease.I did see in other brand servos of this size problems like up- down play in horn gear, less gear teeth surface contact(results in a weaker performance through crashes)HXT900 doesn't have such problems.And 25cm wire is better for mounting especially in wings where the servo is mounted far away from the receiver, you may cut and reconnect the wire if you like it shorter.The only negative side is the higher stall current, but I didn't see any problems with 4 of them installed without an external BEC(I use a towerpro 25A ESC with an onboard BEC of 1.5 amps).I think these servos are the best for the price.
Dmitry
(29%)
I mean, servos i've received was 100% identical to TG9e. They have same motor, same wire length. Compare photos of HXT900 and TG9e here on site. Their motors looks different. And what about description? Anyway these is perfect servos, but TG9e is better because of price (if they are identical, as i think).
vfrjohn
(60%)
** I have not disassembled one of mine, but I'm pretty sure they are NOT coreless motor, they do have 24-25cm wires, and if there is a bushing it is extremely well hidden! These look identical to my Turnigy TG9e's to me. ** vfrjohn

The HK Rx's have Futaba connections but the JR plugs on the HXT900 servo's also fit. That's what I wanted to know, many thanks for the many replies!
Cliff
(50%)
This servo has a generic connector.
Now days all servos are compatible with all receivers. There are some really tiny servos and receivers for indoor electrics that sometimes have different connectors, and Futaba has some small oddball stuff with different connectors, but 99.5% of the stuff out there fits or can be made to fit by trimming the plug.
The worst that can happen is if you get a Futaba servo and need to plug it into JR receiver. In that case you would need to trim the extra tab off the Futaba receiver and also trim two of the corners off for it to slide in.
Basically they are the same with Futaba having extra plastic. Once you trim the extra plastic, a Futaba becomes a JR (or generic).
The "generic RC parts" industry, and this servo in particular use the JR format which is sometimes called "universal" now.
Some of these servos can be plugged in backwards now, but in all my years (35 in RC) I have never damaged a servo by plugging it in backwards, and I have probably done it a dozen times with various brands.
tomxl3

yes most if not all servos have the same 3 wire plug on them just make sure to get the plug pluged in the right way so you ground wire is on the rite pin and signal too:)
frostbit
(68%)
Yes, keep brown wire to the outside of Rx as theair is no aliment key, if you do plug it in backwords it won't work but nothing was heart, at least not for me. Also if using HK 6 Rx when binding the blinking diod can not be seen from front or back of Rx. Look at side of Rx and diod is very visable. Good flying to you.

hello. this servo is absolutely compatible with all receivers. i have used it with:futaba,spektrum and HK receivers without problems. Diego
tommo85
(42%)
Yes, all servos and receivers have the same standardized design. The only variences are in Futaba style plugs have an extra tab. and use black red and white 3core flat cable. while JR/Hitec style uses Brown, Red, and Orange 3 core flat cable.
they all work int he same manner by using pulse manipulation throught he signal wire, (white or orange) to tell the servo where to transit too. while the servo is constantly powered through the black/red or Brown/red wires.

(20%)
Yes, this micro servo also compatible with hobbyking and others recievers! As for me, I connect these microservos (3 items) on my training plane Yak-54 (1 item of these micros to ailerons and 2 items to ruddle and elevator). I think that very good servos for it's price!

the connector is a universal type with the positive Voltage pin in the center to make any mistakes in the connection non critical. Fits into JR, Futaba, Corona and-what-not receivers. I trust also on HK receivers from judging the product pictures.

Since I reduced the length of the control arm a little on my Easy Glider, the gears are no longer breaking on landing. I do recommend purchasing extra gears when you buy these servos, because accidents do happen.
Soren

Excellent idea, but don't buy a whole bunch. I've been using this servo as my go-to servo for a long time and have yet to strip any gears. I always seemed to manage to strip HiTec servo gears, but switching to HXT900 and even several crashes later the servos work fine. Highly recommended item.

What is everyone using to mount the servos in the HK450 v2 as it did not come with any plastic nuts? Thanks for the help...
r_g_r
(90%)
Hey, the HK450 kit comes with a lot of skrews. Unfortunately the different strews are not labeled, so you'll have to try which one might fit. I used some of the self-threading screws to mount the servos. Skrew them directly into the frame and apply some thread locker on the other side. But be aware some thread-locker might melt the servo's plastic case. So make sure to only apply the thread-locker on the skrew and don't let it make contact with the servo.
Shea
(24%)
no need to sand the frame if you loosten hex screws on frame you can slide them right in the top part of the servo fits in the frame just not the bottom, would be a shame to sand it and have gaps if you upgrade servos.. although a new kit and new servos is not that much more expensive
11/02/2010 Beeetle (0%)
How do I put them in the HK450? Mine are too big, their D (see Product Config Table) is more than 12.5mm. They jam at their biggest part. I removed the labels, but they still don't fit :(
Do you sand them, or how do you put them in the HK450 frame?
Or has the batch (of which my HK450 (V.1) comes from) too small openings?
tomxl3

you have too split the frame and use the top of the servo and stick it through the hole don't use the bottom through the hole because it is bigger in size than the top!

A quick confession (and warning to others perhaps) - in the servo packet you receive the servo, servo horns and three screws, a shortish one and two longer ones. Do NOT use the longer screw to secure the servo horn - it destroys the servo!!! In hind sight I realized that the longer screws are intended for mounting the servo - unfortunately a bit too late after killing 4 of these guys!

Would it be safe to run 4 of these servos on a 2A BEC? (Turnigy basic 18A ECS). I will be using 2 for the alerions, 1 for the rudder and 1 for the elevator on a 500g slow flying park flyer.I noticed the high stall currents (690mA) stated in the reviews which would exceed the 2A limit if all 4 servos were stalled. I am new to flying and am not sure if you would ever encounter this type of stall condition. Under normal flying conditions and hard reversals they draw 160mA to 290mA which would be just fine for the 2A BEC. Would I require a 3A BEC like the Hobbyking SS 25-30A ECS? Thank you for helping me choose the right ECS for these servos.
stgram12
(48%)
Well in my measures those servos reached stall currents of 0.5A, but if for milliseconds they go higher, you might experience some problems, especially if the ESC is very cheap. Try it like that, because there is no need for more current-rated BEC. But if there are blackouts, put one big capacitor to compensate for the burst currents.
Eric1180
(10%)
Also you ESC will just get hotter if you go over 2A it won't instantly fry at that level. in your case don't worry about it unless you ESC starts getting REALLY HOT. One more thing .. i would imaging it's pretty hard to stall all of the servos at once in a 500g airplane.
udogigahertz
(17%)
My advice: Better be on the safe side and take the bigger, more powerful BEC. It is always better to have a reserve and not need it, as to have no reserve and you need it ..... in that case your plane will most likely crash. Udo

The smaller one is for mounting the servo-horn, the two bigger ones are for mounting the servo itself (2 are enough for this little servo).
dutchspider9
(25%)
the 2 large screws are for screwing the servo in your model (you've to put the screws trough the 2 clips on each side of the servo) the little screw is to set the control horn on the servo

The shortest screw is for the servo horn, the others ... I don't know.

stgram12

All the servos are made for 4.8 to 6 volts, so they can be controlled by the receiver, which works on the same voltage range. And so one BEC, probably in the ESC powers everything.

I'm glad that they are 8 centimeters longer now, because they were quite short(about 15cm).

stgram12
(48%)
I suggest that 3A could do the work, but if you use all 6 servos at once with fast movements its 99% sure that the rx will restart, because these servos can draw stall currents more that 0.5A,on my measures it reached almost that current. I suggest that you put one powerful capacitor to compensate those stall currents. But if the BEC is quality made, it probably would handle more current than stated for few seconds...
tkupcik

For 6 of this servos You cant use linear Bec. I recommend to choose speed controller with switching bec (for example Mystery 40A) or You can buy SS 25-30A and external 3A UBEC for Rx and servos.

Here is a dumb question (I am a newbie): Would this work with 2s 7.4v lipo? The voltage rating is 3 to 6v in the specs above.
Kendall
(83%)
There are no dumb questions. The servos are powered off the receiver. In an electric application the ESC (specifically the battery eliminator circuit, or BEC, portion of it) steps the voltage down to ~5V to power the receiver and servos. As a receiver battery in a high voltage electric or fuel plane a 2s lipo will need a standalone BEC to step the voltage down.
shah123
(86%)
Ok, great. I thought the voltage from the battery is directly wired into voltage terminals of each and every servo output of a receiver. But now I know that it is not a passive internal connection, instead it actively steps down the voltage. Thanks.
Eric1180
(10%)
No!!! it only works with a 2s after running through a BEC and dropping down to 4.8v or 6v 4.8v would make the servo last longer verse 6v but for $3 who care
Mitchell
(10%)
Actually this is not a stupid question, I had this question when I started. It will work under "normal" circumstances, normal being that you are not hooking up the servo straight from the battery. Ideally, this servo is hooked up through a receiver (I assume). That is powered by either a receiver battery (which are in the 3-6v range) or a BEC. a BEC is a battery eliminator circuit. Usually "American" ESC's have these built in. Your other option is to use an external BEC, check out the one made by Castle Creations ("American", just google "Castle Creations BEC". you probably don't need the pro version.) What a BEC does is drops down the voltage to a servo-usable level. It is connected by a Y harness to the battery, with the other half going to your electronic speed controller. The BEC then plugs into the "batt" port on the receiver. I actually run a 3s (11.1v) lipo with this servo through an internal (built into ESC) BEC, it works great for my ailerons! Just to sum it up in simpler terms, if your only battery is connected to the ESC or you are using a receiver battery then yes it will work. The only way it will blow it up is if you have no other electronics and hook up the servo directly to the battery. Hope this helps you out!

I just fried 2 servos with a 5-cell (freshly charged enelooop) battery. Remember: just charged cells do have a little higer voltage and with the increasement of voltage the current will also increase. If the servo is loaded current may exceed specifications if more than 6 volts is used.

Has anyone had an issue with these servos failing to travel completely on a Spektrum 6100 RX?. I had checked these with servo tester on the bench and was getting about 60 degree travel. When installed and connected to AR6100 am only getting about 30-40 degree travel. Dual rates and travel adjust on DX6i RX are set for 100% and 125%, respectively. There's NO binding in linkages or control surfaces.

It is normal for Spectrum radios that servos have with them a smaller range of movement. For bigger range you can set mix on your transmitter. For example mix rudder to rudder, elevator to elevator,…

Replacement gears for HTX900 servos?
Bought 4 servos. all centered well and had the rated torque.
Replaced two HS-55 servos on the ailerons of my Easyglider electric because they were worn out and not centering well after 116 flights. The two HTX900 servos had gear failure after 12 flights.
I am now trying the second set of servos with the same control geometry and a 30% reduced servo arm length. Time will tell if these servos are up to the task.

Use the GWS Park HPX on your tail (found here on HC)it's very fast, and about $12.I think I got one bad servo (900)but like you said...it's an extra gear set.

Well it had to happen, I just realized that at least one of my hxt900 servos is bad. Not upset at all. Simply took the gears out and put them into the one I had recked the day before. The bad servo would twitch around hover. I am not certain that the servo was bad but the problem is not happening now. By the way I recked 5 times before I finally stripped a gear. These servos are great.
