Servo selector guides?

Mar 04, 2009 3 Replies

This is related to my last post, in the second-worst possible way.



The servo I just finished building is fine, but the _old_ one died on the operating table, of old age (the pot was worn, dirty, and corroded - you can't get much worse than that).



So I went looking on the web, but all I can find are floods of individual catalog pages on servos and servo-related parts.



What I _want_ is a nice chart with measurements, weights, torques, etc. The wing already has Ace Bantam-shaped holes in it, so I'd like to be able to find a reasonable fit.



Any suggestions? I mean to buy them at the LHS no matter what, but I'd like to go in forearmed with information.


Who would go to the trouble of compiling such a list? Certainly not the manufacturers, whose best interests are served by consumer ignorance. Ditto the hobbyshop owners.

I agree that such a reference would be invaluable to we modelers.

I don't mean to be discouraging (but probably am) - I've tried to find the same info for simillar reasons. Not only is such a list hard to find (I've never found one in many googled attempts) but the mounting dimensions are almost non-existant. Overall dimensions I can find at some manufacturers sites but not the ones a modeler would need. There are some that list torques and electrical characteristics - here's a link to the best I've found -
