KO PROPO Servo

Post by craigc8791 »

Does anyone know of a faster servo than the new KO? Its speed is 0.07 sec. I'm trying to get as close to the throttle response in my rc8, as my rc8e has. any suggestions?

Fastest servo KO have made was a discontinued 7.2v one PS-2015 (0.05s think it was) but being 7.2v is no use in a 1/8th buggy anyway, I don't know of any as fast/faster than that and certainly not 6v ones

both ;)

all one does with a sub-0.1s/60deg for steering is turn the wheels way faster than the tires can generate grip. Check what the top guns run... torquey, sure, but not stupid fast. For throttle there's two schools, those that say that too fast is not good because the air flow becomes turbulent and hence doesn't fill the chamber as it should, and others that say that "it just works".

do as you please, really ;)

Go with the Savox 1267SG with lipo 7.4v....good speed and torque (way cheaper than KO). More than you will need for most 1/8 buggy applications....plus you need the torque to hold a heavy 1/8 buggy through the turns, servo speed is secondary.

I'll assume the RC8 is Nitro. So you want your nitro buggy to be as responsive as your LiPo powered buggy?
The servo is not the only factor on throttle response. If you're already using that as your throttle servo, you should start looking at your engine setup. How you have it tuned...

That servo looks awesome, BTW. I love their 2413s and this is the first time I found out about this new tech from KO. I don't see myself using it, but it seems awesome.
