AGFRC Sub-Micro Servo Motor - Upgrade Metal Case Titanium Gear 4.5kg HV Mini Servo for 1/14 1/18 1/24 RC Cars Planes (B13DLM V2)

Nice go-to micro HV digital. I have them on my gas plane throttle AND choke. AGFRC is a good budget brand servo. I bought extra for future projects. Work well with FRSKY receivers

Plugged right in and operated flawlessly. I run larger tires on a 1/18 losi mini desert truck, went through a couple stock plastic geared servos, this one has already taken harder hits with no servo saver and is still operating perfectly. So far I doubt I will need to, but if it fails, would definately purchase this servo again. Big thank you to all responsible for making this tiny monster. Very happy with it!

I was hopeful when I saw all the great reviews. However, here’s a couple things I wish I would’ve know before purchasing for my traxxas trx4m. What should’ve been a 15 min swap turned into 2 hours. 1. The servo gear head is smaller than the OEM traxxas, so you have to use one of the provided servo horns, which will take some drilling to make work. (Or buy an adapter to pop on, problem solved) Also, the OEM servo horn is threaded, whereas with the provided one I’m going to need to figure out a long term solution so my screw doesn’t work its way out, like a tiny nut. (see pictures) 2. The base of the servo is slightly longer than the OEM, so you have to shave the two little tabs off of the servo cradle to get the new servo to seat all the way. Not a huge deal. We’ll see how it holds up to my 4yr old boy, seems to be strong and snappy and of high quality, BUT, definitely not plug and play.

Great speed upgrade. Will need to space the servo higher with washers on the mount to avoid the servo saver arm fouling on the esc tray.

I read several reports that the original front wheel servo motor & plastic gears do not hold up to landings, so I got this one with metal gears. Its fits pretty close, but I did need to put a small washer under it where it screws down to the main board, or else the arm on one side would interfere with the servo controlling the back flaps (ie: I had to raise this guy's arm a little to go over the other other servo arm on the side). Other than that, seems great. Pay attention to (take pictures of) the old one before you pull it out to make sure you get the new one situated right. (things like how far out on the arm does the control rod connect? Close to the center shaft or out on the end of the arm for more motion, etc). Also note which slot it plugs into, and which wire (light or dark) is in front when plugged in. My plane is the AeroScout S 2 1.1m RTF with SAFE - Good beginner plane, and it is one of the choices to practice with in the STEAM "Realflight Training" simulator, $39.99. Then I got a USB plug that goes into my PC, allowing me to use my actual remote control to control the flight simulator, so my fingers get all the muscle-memory of what buttons to be using, exactly the same in simulation and real flight. Very nice. SAFE mode is awesome - "save me from myself" features 3 settings: 1) Beginner: I have no idea what I'm doing, dont let me crash - automatically keeps plane level and prevents most drastic moves on your part. You basically get to fly in a circle using tail to turn. 2) Intermediate: Ok, I'm getting the hang of this, give me some more freedom to maneuver, let me bank the plane, but no enough for barrel rolls or loop-de-loops, but more freedom. 3) Expert: Ok, I got this, give me full control. Barrel rolls, head over heels loops, etc. AND most importantly: OOPS, I've lost control, press the PANIC BUTTON for instant beginner mode, auto level out, etc. Very cool, I highly recommend paying the extra $100 for the SAFE feature.
