[NSRCA-discussion] E-flite S60 Servo

[AtwoodDon at aol.com]

Have you guys tried the Futaba 3110 (now 3114) servos.  Quick, strong  and 
good centering.  Compared to my HS55s, they seemed much better.   About the same 
price too......  7.8g and will take 4.8 or 6V

Dave, you made me go  back and look. The problem servos were “Spektrum” S75, 
not S60. Two of the  original 4 failed almost immediately. My apologies for  
misleading everyone. Regardless, I still like HiTec for these small  
applications.

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

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.

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
