Surprise Surprise Surprise

Post by murankar »

I think what I am about to say is going to shock us all. With all the stress lately; there is more than just my dad, oh and he has a decent prognosis. No stroke but had a case of vertigo. Might I digress, I have been sitting on my paypal account now for a few months, I also got some holiday cash sitting in my wallet, back pocket not paypal. With all this combined this is now on the way:

Now I need to deposit my holiday money. I was shocked that paypal allows split payments. I was really concerned that they would not do it but to my surprise they do. In a few months I should have some servos since they ship from China.

Very cool, Matthias! Looks like a good price! I bought my 3 DS430m servos for $65 for my 450 and I thought that was pretty fair.

If I am not mistaken this is the guy the Jessie used when he got his. Jessie also got the break away servo arms from this guy. I will check though.


Just did a few page jumps on his reviews, he seems legit. Over 127 pages of reviews, that's to many to look at right now.

It works out to about $22 a servo and these are ranging from $25 to $35 USD. I was forecasted Jan 28 for delivery. Right now the weather is not good for flying so I am not to concerned right now. Just as long as I can fly this summer.

I think one might get opened up on video. Would love to see how the wires are soldered in. I would like to shorten the wires if possible.

Right now I have bigger things I will want/need. I would prefer to crimp since it dies not mess with the circuit board.

According to usps the package left Chicago on the 27 in transit to destination. I won't know when it will arrive until it hits Cleveland. I hope by the weeks end because I am on long break starting on Friday.

You will like those servos they are strong and gears are relatively cheap.

I buy my KST stuff from here http://www.alofthobbies.com

I didn't open my 215s but if they are like the 515s then it wont be easy to work on them the circuit board seems to be glued in place. When I cut my wires I just chopped them shortened then added heat shrink. If you put the wire sheathing over your wires then you don't even notice it.

No I don't use that. Savox makes their cases so nothing can be slid apart so shortening at the circuit board almost did not happen. Will see his they look in a few days.

My servos made it to Cleveland tonight. I think they got in just in time to make the night PO deliveries which means I could have them tomorrow.

Re: Surprise Surprise Surprise

off the external bec. i cant increase the voltage because of the tail servo. My bec is maxed for the tail at the moment. Its been a long time coming and the weather is cold I scratched a car tonight with my nipples. Freaking single digits and almost no wind. If we get some temps closer to 40 I might try and fly.

Just checked the weather no flying for the next 10 days.
