Hi



I have both am and fm futaba radios .



Can the servos be used between each type without problem. ie I have s3001 and fp-s148 and 138's



secondly I have a servo made by Sheng eng called an inter 016 it has a jr or futaba pin out with red balck and yellow wires can these servos also be used either am or fm in 1/2 a sport stealth's?



are sheng eng servos any good ? ( the ebay seller seems to have vanished gulp)


thanks again :)

Yes. The servos have nothing to do with AM or FM. In fact, while you may need to adjust connector wires somewhat (for some really old servos) or shave off a `tab' on newer ones (Futaba servos in a JR/Hitec receiver), pretty much all servos are compatible with all radios.

I've never heard of sheng eng, but almost certainly ... | are sheng eng servos any good ? ( the ebay seller seems to have vanished gulp)

Got me. Personally, I buy most of my servos from

mostly Hitec servos. I wouldn't buy anything else unless it was something really special (tiny, huge, etc.)
