Is it posible to invert polarities inside the servo

Are you just trying to get the servo to move in the opposite direction? Your transmitter should have a setting that will reverse the servo movement.

The sensor circuitry would cause the servo to shoot to one side and strip itself if you reversed the motor polarity internally. I tried it. Just flip it over and cut a new servo mount.

Servos can usually be modified to turn in the opposite direction. You must swap the wires going to the servo motor AND also swap the wires going to the pot.

Good point. My soldering equipment was to big to handle the pot without melting it, so I didn't try that. But one mistake and you've ruined the servo. They have a servo reverser here, I forgot what category. Just try that. Or if you have the money, which I don't at the moment, buy a handful and give it a try.

Best way is to use a servo reverser,take a look at this part#SIG-REV.

The other option is to make sure the servos are in the same orientation IE both horns to the left. On my funcub that required cutting a new servo hole on one side and then I filled the original hole. Doing that saves money and weight.

This servo is an excellent replacement for the Losi Micro series Trucks, Just trim the mounting tabs off of both sides, and use Two sided tape to secure and its a perfect fit.

That is correct. The HXT900 also works with slight modification.

Yes almost all rc servos and esc's are compatible unless incorrectly designed. The industry standard for the signal that drives servos and esc's uses pulse width modulation. The only other kind on the rc market are ones that use an actual digital signal but products using this will include the word digital in there description.

You can not order batteries to be send to Canada from US. Custom is not easier from US to Canada, maybe worse,and it takes about the same time 2-3 weeks, not that it takes that long to get here, but Canadian custom are the wolds slooooest ?

What kind of connector do these have? standard or micro?

these have the standard servo connectors. :)

I think these have a standard connection. I've no idea what a micro connector is, but it certainly looks like a normal connector to me.

can this rotate 180?

tractor

123 points

NO. 60 degrees, 30 each way, that is the way most servos are. look for retract servos most retract servos rotate 180.

miXania

Yeah, of course it can.

BrettD

no these only rotate 60 degrees, tractor is right.

I would reaallly like to have a green servo!

teflyer

You could paint the servo green!

Actually, I do not think I have ever seen a green servo.

Haha ye, could be pretty nice! I've never seen any.

miXania

Yeah, of course. Manufactures just decrease the customer audience by selling pink servo's instead of green, red and other colors. Thinking that people will like pink ones more than others :D Big mistake I guess.

Wow. and I just bought some HXT500s from the international warehouse where there is a Backorder. If I only waited...

Use live support and cancel your order :) It may take a day or two for funds to show up in paypal or on credit card but you wont have to wait for backorder.

Best performing 5 gram servos on the market for mere pennies. Use these in all of my brushless 3d foamies and they have never failed me yet.

I purchased this for my losi Micro DT, It needed very slight modifications to be a perfect fit (dont be scared, just trim off the mounting tabs) and it is a perfect fit! also much more responsive than the stock steering servo.

These servos never cease to amaze me. For the money they are awsome! Have many of them, all still work, they are fast, center well, and just plain work. These and the HXT900 servos are my go to servos for all of my small airplanes.
