[NSRCA-discussion] E-flite S60 Servo

[Dave Lockhart]

Jay,

 

50% infant failure rate for what??  S75, S60?  Your numbers are based on
what?

 

Dave

Seems like manufacturing variability goes across both models. Nice to know
that you have had no problems with the 60s, but with a 50% infant failure
rate you won't find any more on my workbench.

.a moment please...

 

The S75 is known to have gear train slop and centering issues..I've seen it
first hand, and I also have a few that work fine..seems to be quite a bit of
variability.

 

The S60 is NOT the same servo and NOT of the same quality based on the 10 I
have used and flown in the past months - geartrains are much tighter,
centering and resolution is as good as any 6 gram servo I've used (which is
to say I've not seen anything in the 6 gram range that will match the 9 gram
digital 281 or 285).

 

And yes, I get a price break on Eflite stuff..all my "bad" S75s I sent back
for replacement (Horizon is very good about warranties/repairs), and all my
S60s have been solid thus far.

 

Regards,

Oops, I should have realized that.  Same servo - you're right, it's junk.
For some reason I forgot about the model number of those.

 

Thanks

I used the S75 on my Brio. These come with the Spektrum DX6. Pure junk. Had
to be replaced almost immediately.

Does anyone have feedback on the E-flite S60?  I'm thinking of using a pair
of these on an E-flite Brio for elevators.  The specs look OK, but do they
track & center well?

 

Thanks
