Futaba servos for cyclic

[Jasjud808]

Hi all ,pretty new to helis , looking for recommendation for Futaba servos for the cyclic on a 50 size raptor that I'm building to go into a fuselage , using 8j radio 401 gyro with s9254 servo ,want something reliable but not sure which one to get ,cheers

Grab some BLS451 servos. They are proven and reliable on helis and more importantly they are reasonably priced for a Futaba servo.

I have been using these on a Raptor 90 scale heli for a number of years now and also my TDR heli with no problems.

I agree BLS451 is what I use on most all my helicopters. They have better performance than any brushed servo and they last forever. I have 4 sets with hundreds of flights and have never has one fail. Also you won’t need new servos if you upgrade to a larger helicopter.

They are also very efficient so your power consumption will be lower. You can run them on a wide range of voltage.

Thanks for info guys , are they 4.8 or 6volt the seem to come with a rating for both uses , I am using 4.8 volt as it is on the tail servo

[Costas]

They are specified for 4.8v (nominal) usage. However many of us run them on 6v or even 7.4 without problems.

Robbe Futaba has them rated for 2s lipo use http://www.robbe.de/brushless-servo-451-mg.html

I was given 452 and they are fine on my 700 size heli. I do know the difference between them and 451s though...
