Turnigy MG930 Digital Metal Gear Servo

Post by Dane McGee »

I found this servo at HK and thinking about ordering some with my next shipment to try out http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/stor ... oduct=9391

Anyone else tried um?

It is a digital, metal gear servo weighing .92 oz, about the same size as a GWS mini standard 'cept 10 mm shorter. Looks to have about 50oz of torque at 4.8v, .......price $13.99 :shock:

I'd like to know what kinds of control horns that the output shaft works with. That was my main dig on the GWS servos, I could never find decent horns for them
and the ones they came with did not hold up.

The horns are not too strong and you don't get a lot. The Dubro horns have been purchased by a number of reviewers. That adds to the final cost. I still like the GWS Might Micro with metal gears and more torque from Servohut.com. It is $17 but comes with heavy arms and plenty of them. I just ordered another dozen. I started using them in my scale planes but now they are on all my elevators at 75 oz in of torque. I have never lost one to a stripped gear in the 2+ years that I've been running them.

Bring those planes in closer where I can see them.

Pete, it appears that Futaba horns will fit. The helicopter guys use this servo and switch out to heavy duty Dubro horns for Futaba.

GWS servos will accept JR horns.

Bob, did Servohut have the GWS servos on sale for $17?
The price I found at Servohut was $19.25 which make this servo even more attractive.........provided its not a piece of junk. :wink:
