Any MG available for this servo?(Metal Gears)

For this servo MG makes no sence. In order to keep weight under control only plastic would be resonable. Otherwise weight will be much higher.

Yes are correct,(some what) but weight is of no concern for the intended project only strength this is a GREAT servo but the gears just do not hold up.I have found that MG 90 is a good replacement

Does HK sell the servo-arm screw for the HXT500? I've lost a couple of them, they're so tiny that dropping one means it's likely gone. To bad they don't throw in an extra.

Hi,
I've bought as a mistake 12 servos HXT500 because really I need servos HXT900. What should I do with these servos? Do you know any plane that flies with them?
|
|
|
| |
|
Ednac
(77%)
I use these on small foam planes, up to about 30" span, (3mm foam) for aileron, elevator, rudder. They are also OK for rudder on planes that are a bit larger, or ailerons if you have one per aileron and ailerons aren't huge (like a 3d plane has).

You are joking, right? This is THE standard servo used by scratch builders all over the world. Literally, the entire world! Go take a look at RCGroups, RCUniverse, Wattflyer, or anyplace else where scratch builders post their stuff. This is the servo they use, man. I've used a hundred of them over the last couple years. They're my favorite.

any smaller foamie, mini 3D,

I can't give you an exact model name but it is usually adviced to choose servos with a torque nearly about the plane's flying weight unless the plane is extremely aerobatic or too fast.So, they may be used safely in many models with a flying weight under 800 grams. In elevator and rudder one servo may operate for each.But in ailerons, it is much better to use one servo for each aileron surface instead of driving two of them with only one servo.If you mount two aileron servos symmetrically with their horns pointing opposite directions,you may use a Y cable for signalling them so that they will work properly.

You need to re-route your wires. Your speed control is causing this flutter and twitching. Move the position of ESC. Try a different servo, or try a ferrite ring around your speed control plug before plugging into rx.

It is not worth for the price, but maybe for the learning. You soldered the wires to the wrong terminal or the servo lost a trace in the printed circuit. The signal of the internal feedback pot is not being sensed.

Every servo comes with several different arms. Did you use all of those? The cross-shaped ones could be clipped off and used as standard arms. I do it all the time.. Stil have dozens of them lying around.. Could send you some if you're from Holland? (would be too expensive for international)

I notice that the wires are color coded differently from a futaba servo. I assume that the red wire is the same as the red for futaba. Does the yellow wire relate to white and brown wire relate to black on the futaba servo? It looks like with the universal connector, it would be easy to plug them in upside down and get the polarity wrong.

I will answer my own question in case someone else needs to know. I got the correct answer on another RC forum.
Brown relates to the black wire on a Futaba servo and is ground. The orange (or yellow) wire is signal and relates to the white wire on a Futaba servo.

No, the servo was not overload, the model has only 1m(40inch)wingspan and weights only 500g(15,3Oz). It was powerede by an e-max 2822, 8x6APC and Zippy3S2200. I flew these servo on this model for more than 2 motnhs without any problem, but today I have this, lost my model... :(

Yes, the servo was overloaded. These are way too small for anything but small foamies, I'm surprised they worked at all. You should use at least a 9g HXT900 servo or equivalent for a plane of that size. Like it or not, that is why you lost your plane.

I fly fullsize DLG's with the HTX500* of course these only weight 250-300 grams but forces can be severe. Still, none of them ever failed me - and I used 30+ of them in planes. Sounds like just bad luck to me. Too bad for your plane though.

Don't say such things ) These servos are perferct in the cost/quality ratio. I thing your problem was you used HXT 500 in your model instead of HXT 900. For the plane above 400 grams HXT 900 are prefered.
P.S. Always check the "crispy" sound in the servo before flight - if it crisps just fit a new one - they ARE really cheap!

Being an expert in the HXT servos, I would advice to use HXT 900 if the flying weight of your model is 350gr and above. HXT are also nice, but would mostly suit lighter airplanes and preferably not 3D
