Hi, does anyone from HK can tell us when they expect this servo to arrive in stock?

Just a quick note, I ordered five of these servos, four for the HK-T500. Three had 180mm leads and two 260mm leads. The 180mm leads are only just long enough to use as AIL and PIT to reach the reciever tray. So keep that in mind if you get the short leads, you will need think over your wiring path carefully. Plus the servo arms only make 15mm length on the last hole so I used some spare Futaba arms that I luckily had spare to get to 16.5mm

you don't really want to use these for the tail on your helicopter, they are good for the cyclic, but get a faster servo for the tail.

Anyone with comments on their HC recommended servos for the HK500. I jumped the gun by getting the Park HPX which don't fit perfectly like these.

I almost did as well, ordered these instead. Will let you know when they are mounted in the HK-T500... I will use a hyperion Atlas Digital on the tail

Decided to use the Park HPX since I already have them. Will use these on 2nd build if quality pans out.

the hk 500 comes with spacer mounts to allow the hpx servo to fit... i bought the hpx also:*)

So the questions is on which one is better ?
The GWS HPX or the Towerpro MG930, any with both and planning to do the test ?

Okay, might as well reply to myself ! :)

Fitted and flew with the TP930MG, servos feels good and I don't think I'll bother swapping out to the GWS HPX.

Interesting ** the picture shows that it uses 4 mounting screws but the accompanying drawing shows two ** and hardware package appears to contain only two gromets and mounting screws. So can we trust the other specifications given?

Reply:

Futter73 (23 points);
I hope it has 4!!!
T-Rex 500 needs 4...

It has 4.

Ghostfit (104 points);
I am sorry Jason, but all of mine arrived with only 2 !
The parts in the packet are exactly as shown in the picture !

I ordered 4, all all them only come with 2 mounting gromets.

BoltFace (116 points);
same here, only came with 2! ugghh

Reply:

t3beatz (257 points);
In a heli you don't want to use gromets anyway! you want a good fixed servo on the cyclic, the gromets make the servos flex, gromets are not needed on the clyclic...

Are there different versions of this servo? I tried 4 different versions of futaba servo arms on 2 of my TP 930MG servos and none of them fitted. All of them had several dgs slop, as if the teeth on the servo are too thin.

Hey are these to small for a .50 heli?

Gears feel and sound good .Fit the frames perfect.Servo wire is 3 inches too short have to use extensions on three servos .Servo arms can only go out to 15 mm ,need 16.5 mm to get proper setup.Need to use longer arms to clear the top of the servo at full pitch (hits the side of the servo )

OK guys... If you plan on using these in a 500 size heli, get some dubro HD type arms from here also. Use standard ball links (like the kind you use on your 450's) and the arm and ball link will clear the top of the case with all stick positions!

These servos are strong, smooth and work well - the accessories are less good as others have said for a Trex 500, EXI 500 or HK 500 buy a set of align servo arms (type H50113) for easy setup. The wires are too short - however if you mount the receiver where you would normally mount the gyro then extension leads can be avoided.

Mine arrived and no problems at all, the leads have been extended at factory and I used dubro (futaba) servo horns on my EXI500. Flew a HK500 with same servos and futaba horns fitted and no issues at all. Great servo...just order them and you'll be happy.

One failed at first test (not in flight) the others are going strong. HK exchange the dead one. Very nice in HK-T500 even with the small arms. You have limited throw and a docile heli.

To use these servos in the HK500 or HK GT500 you need to get DU-BRO Futaba servo horns. The part number for the servo horns is... Cat. No 670. I have these servos coming in the mail and ordered the DU-Bro servo horns so I have them when the servos arrive. Problem solved.

It seams that this latest batch of servos no longer as the "Tower Pro" stiker, instead they have "Turnigy 930", hope they have the same specs, also the screw that fix the control, horn to the servo does not screw in, it as a different threat guide then the one in the servo, have order 3x, 1x sound different different then the others 2, hope that i have no bad surprises on first flight, extencion lead as a good lenght, all other remaining parts seam OK.

Normale Futaba Servoarme passen nicht wirklich auf die Zahnung, sie sind zu weit.
Somit passt die Aussage in diesem Video nicht: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewFPFAXc3dA&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ercgroups%2Ecom%2Fforums%2Fshowthread%2Ephp%3Ft%3D991948%26page%3D42%23post12973113&feature=player_embedded
Schade, ist mal wieder kein Verlass auf Andere. Deshalb nur 4 Sterne.
Bin mal gespannt ob es mit den Dubroarmen in 3 Wochen besser wird, wer es glaubt...
sonst ab in die nchste Flchenmhle.

MG930 servo screw- anybody have any problems with the screws to secure the servo arm? The screw that came with mine is just too tight to even start. Got to be the wrong size. Anybody know what size it is? Thanks
