My Posts This: Topic Forum | hey , well what alot of people just plain dont understand about servos is strain ,workload and the type of voltage being used , the 9650s on 5.7 volts rock. working fine on my trex 600 for 60 plus flights and now they delievered everything I threw at them with my converted 700 trex with the avant head. about power systems , weight, voltage, and ratio is a big thing. the correct ratio and voltage will be easy on the gears on the servo , if you have a low voltage ( 4.8 volt nicd pack for ex) then you will bog the little motor in the servo , bogging the motor will wear out the gears faster, just like a big outrunner in a heavy machine with low voltage , strip main gears and stuff. ratio is like a 10 speed bike, do you want to climb a hill in 10th gear, well unless its not that big and you are hauling a ss. ratio , the Avant head setup for 3D and the 9650s seams to be a perfic match for each other , I couldnt stall out the servos and also notice when charging the lipo rx pack back up after one flight. that Im not drawing alot of juice during my flight , I have a video in my gallery of the 700 with the 9650s , and look at the reaction which shows I was trying my best to strip or stall the 9650s , the flight ended with a motor failure, kontronics slung its mags , motors ruined. I also notice with the align head , the ratio isnt upto snuff . they could have done better with the ratios . it seams kinda hard on the servo because the heli is slow.
