Robert Welford Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I've just bought an aerobatic airframe with 4 Hitec 5625mg servos installed. I've read some concerns over their reliability so I wondered whether anyone here had any experience with them - good, or bad? Thank you.

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 You will see comments that they don't center correctly ? I've used plenty in my time only one has ever shown this, check yours are o.k, never experienced any other kind of problem myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Smith 1 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Robert, I have used quite a few HS 5625s and I am happy to report that never had an issue with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lee Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 They work OK but I found that there was too much backlash on the metal gears for the elevator on a Sebart Yak, which led to being unable to find a true neutral. That model was particularly sensitive on the elevator with my set up & I did not have trouble using them elsewhere. I ended up using a JR8231 on the Yak.

In fairness to these higher end servos Robert, and any servo Just one poor installation, with poorly routed pushrods, tight hinges on surfaces, and multi computer TX settings etc etc etc And the servo is decried openly on the internet as weak. Much of our equipment is thrown into a model, with unsatisfactory results Then suffers the wrath of the World Wide Web You use them as instructed and judge their worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Welford Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thank you everyone for your very useful feedback. The most important thing to me is they don't suddenly stop working! This doesn't appear to be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
