Will do.

If you are talking about the G5 as an overall heli. It flew exactly like an SeV2 but stretched with 6s. Also the G5 had arguably the best tail design in the entire 450 world. Lots of parts were interchangeable with the SeV2 also. Such as the main gears, head, tail and tail drive gear assy. It was a much better heli than the trex and flew better.

Plus servo specs have a much more important role to play on these helis than on other 450s.
Due to the fact that any stretched heli pushes the cyclic servos harder, I expect the Warp to do the same thing. But even moreso with the DFC style head on it. I have close to two dozen various cyclic servos that failed on my own stretched helis. The larger blades, higher head speeds, and direct grip to swash design stresses them beyond belief. In these configs the MKS Ds95i servo is brilliant. Others hit their failure point at half as much performance. And it is not just the hardcore 3d guys that will notice the difference.

Faster more powerful servos are def a plus, but servo accuracy brings another dimension to stretched helis running larger blades. Trust me in this. I have been running custom stretched 6s 450s for almost 3 years now. Nothing compares to the Mks.

Not only this, but the overall quality of the flybarless system makes a huge difference. This heli will shine with systems such as the Vbar, Sk540, or the Sk720. Especially when considering the head on the Warp is a no slop no dampened precision design. A better fbl system will be able to take advantage of this.

I have logged over a thousand flights on the g5 so will be able to report back.

I have been using these servos on it before i moved them to warp

I think they are mks rebadged

[branflake]

Yes, i am familiar with how the G5s fly. Not sure about the stretched Trex thing, i as only have owned "stock" birds. Both my FB and FBL fly hs65MGs and ino labs on the tail. I have yet to break or burn out a servo. If i converted to a warp, i would for sure try and use them first before upgrading the servos. Anyways, enough off topic on our old, "legacy" helicopters.

If those are "MKS rebadged" then my Nissan 240SX is a "Ferrari rebadged".

Lol, Just filling in the cracks so the hundreds of other guys who read the threads and have no clue what the G5 was can follow.

I ran those Hs65s on stretched 6s helis running 420s. They ran ok as long as the heli isn't targeted for 3d. Amazing little servos really. But I have trashed quite a few of them myself.

Swinging the larger blades they just weren't up to the task with anything over mild sport flying. Adding in the Mks servos totally transformed the way the heli's flew. Not pushing the servos, just the idea that better servos do make a difference. Especially when stretched.

they sure look like mks ,a freind has them on a 450 pro and they look nice if you take the turnigy sticker off lol+ he also crashed that day and they didnt strip

[Jeff_Barrett]

There's a manufacturer out there selling servos that look exactly like MKS - but they aren't. I can't recall the name off the top of my head, but they did approach me not long ago ... obviously, I turned them down. I'm loyal to MKS as they have provided customers and I excellent support.

MKS used to make servos for HK but has long since stopped ...

[kachur779]

its not like ill get them ,i would use align before mks knock offs at least you can get gear replacements with align

[s0laris]

I have mks servos too. but gave these a try and am very happy with them.


Not trying to tell you to buy them, just saying i like them much better than the ds415s

[Stevemech]

All the clone mks 95 servos are made by Kst, under many names,
my personal experience is they don't last or remain acurate for long like the real thing.Wasn't a bargin in the long run!

will see.. been about 300 ish flights on the g5 and i fly it pretty hard

interesting video about it..

[frito169]

So is anyone running those Turnigy servos and if so how are they, how have they been holding up? Would you recommend these over the align DS415M?

[Stevemech]

I think someone posted that the kst (turngy) where to deep to fit in place, with the mks92a there isn't much room.The ds415 won't survive many or no crashes( one plastic gear) and I thought them to be kinda weak but would probably fit.This heli seems to be setup for the mks92a(cyclic fit)so some servos might be a pain to adjust.

[s0laris]

yes I am using the turnigys.. fit fine in the warp. initially they didnt but it was just stupid me mounting them behind the frame instead of the other side.

[frito169]

Ordering a set now of the turnigy servos.

Received word from Mike the parts will be sent asap for the issues My kit had. So far, although disappointed in original quality, compass has impressed me. This hobby has a few good ones out there and so far compass is one when it comes to customer service/satisfaction if it weren't for that I would have sold this before I flew it. Way to go guys!!

LOL! I did this too with my DS92A+ servos ... the elevator servo interfered, took me a second to realize what I had done.

lol i was furious.. was researching the dimensions on the web after and saw it was same as the 92a+ and thought HUH ??

and then re looked at my creation and smacked my forehead lol
