HK15288A Analog BB/MG Servo 51g / 9kg / 0.20s (AUS Warehouse)

It would be ok but a bit of an overkill for a throttle,a good 3/4kg servo would be more than enough.

Thanks for the reply can you recommend any.

 Gary 3001 points

Either the HK15138 or TGY S4505B would be ok.

if its connected to a rx the voltage is always the same, the battery input just depends on how long you want it to run,
id suggest a 7.2v battery around 5000mAh
you can go higher if you want,

These little servos are great and for the price who cares if you break one or two. They are rated 4.8v~6v. So I think they are great for 4 or Hobby Kings new 1.6 rechargeable. Why would you need 4 x 9 KG servos? So the size of battery really depends on what you are doing. What PLANE, Crawler or Car they go in.

Allison yes that is true it has metal gears. It seem not possible that you could buy a metal gear servo for only $6.06. This is why it is on back order. The listing does say Features: Metal Gears Dual Ball-race. I hope this helps.

for the price and the wait they are good servos if ur not going to go over the top and bash the life out of them but they are very strong

yes, but you should go digital for a Heli. You want precise movement. Analogue (especially cheap ones) are not accurate or fast enough, even for cyclic. Tail - don't even think about it.

Hi ya Brett what would you recommend for cyclic an tail servo's for a HK500TT FBL Heli ,as im just stepping up from the 450 series .cheers

 Brett 232 points

Try the HK15298 High Voltage Coreless Digital Servo. It will operate on normal voltage (5V) & up to 7.4V if you wish. Much faster than the HK15288A and worth the extra price. You could use it all round as well if on a budget, but best to find a high-end servo for the tail (sub .10sec), but no high end servos stocked in AUS warehouse though.

Ha Brett thanks for the quick reply, that sounds like what I'm looking for,ill give that a crack an I will use my 520Align Tail servo off the 450,to keep the costs down cheers
