I have a max amps 5s battery that I run in a LMT with a castle system and it’s crazy !! But I agree 5s is kind of a unicorn And I also use a 3BRC G13 pro in an axial scx10 pro and I love it!!
I purchased the $21 injora blue a few months ago for both my trail rigs. Been running them direct power on 3s since day 1 and they just take it. And i have driven them in a manner that some would refer to as ignorant. I completely lack mechanical sympathy. Never even got warm. For the price I stand by that is the best bang for the buck servo you can buy. I've purchased 2 so far. I plan to buy many more in the future.
Killed the main output gear on one of these on my 3rd outing. Sent it off to 3 brothers and they fixed it for free. I dont blame the sevo at all. I was trail bashing it in an fcx10 thay weighs close to 10 lbs. When disassembling the servo to see the broken gear i noticed an agfrc part number on the inside. Simply a quality servo with good USA support at a fair price
I bought one of these at Beat the Creek. I didn’t go try to buy one from the 3B booth until Sunday and they were sold out. I ended up finding them a couple of booths down for the same price at the Crawler Canyon booth.
Absolutely phenomenal video, I've been seeking out a servo - even though I do not compete, I think this may be the one. Thank you for alllll of the testing that you do, because it makes the difference and your efforts are definitely appreciated.👍 👍
I think 5s is mostly drone, planes, or heli's stuff. Never seen a ground vehicle run it lol. Maybe a scale like that with a set rig & surface area could test forward traction of tires? Was a random thought I had last night when driving lol
Love servo tests! IDK why, I just do. When I contacted 3BRC for a motor issue, they were like just send it in and we'll replace it. They didn't give any fuss. Love that. Also, how do we get 5s power?
I've seen one 5S Ovonic pack that was like 1550 mAh or something like that. Someone else in the comments mentioned they had a 5S pack from another manufacturer.
Same. Mostly because they're not helical, which makes me question the utility to some small degree. I have the SC1250 on my shortlist of servos to test, because I think the 3S-direct category of servos is the one of most utility. I don't know why mfrs. are sticking to the 8.4V RX powered, when they're all amp-hungry monsters on the hunt for a BEC to devour. There hasn't been a Sincecam test yet because the 1250 on sale is about the same price as a Flash Hobby M60BHW, which can handle 4S all day and still makes a respectable 700+ on 3S. But it is cheaper than the "supply chain" inflated AGFRC SA75CVSW, which remains my favorite 3S-direct servo. So worth a test. At some point.
Well, in my case, I'm coming from the rc drift scene into crawlers, so I have more 2S packs than 3s. Plus if the 70kg is actually rated true and I can get it for $60, that seems like a half price agfrc to me.
You can wire a JST plug into the ESC side of your battery connections and pull from the main pack. No need to run a separate pack unless you wanted different power levels, like running the servo on 4S with a 3S limited ESC (Hobbywing Fusion, etc.). Several companies make inline plug in adapters with a JST lead already installed if you don't want to solder one.
You can, but most people solder a female JST to their female battery plug(ESC side). This way the power bypasses the the esc strait to the servo, hence the direct nature of the power.

I do the same. Cut the red wire and direct power that hoe! 😂

Just whatever you do, don't try running it on 5S. Not that anyone would.

Best servo for money !! Great customer service

What an adventure, greatness! And thanx for including suzan in reverse🎉
Thank you, i was considering this servo. From 3 brothers or Reefs RS 700v2 i know there servos are top notch. 👍
Good stuff!
That squeal was delicious! Good stuff😅 thanks!
My 3bros has been holding up very well
I love my G13 I want try the G14 as well! I also like their servo winch! 😊

They are $99 bucks, and they come with balance plugs they are worth the money

I'm curious if the sincecam servos on Amazon actually have helical gears.
@gregmyers3389 I was curious because I see the 70kg is on sale, and has a 10% off coupon.

NHX has a 6s servo ... Wanna test mine?
Electrically it can handle 5s, but don't get it bound up on 5s.
Curious. I never ran a servo direct. Do you use a separate lipo pack.
Yeah I think thats the only way. I had a reefs 777 an didn't know that at the time. couldn't get it to work.

@@JPWirt dang, you beat me. 😂
No, it just runs directly off of the main battery. All of my ESCs gets a JST plug wired inline with the battery connector.
You broke it! I'm telling!
Did you figure out what broke?
Main output gear from the motor was missing about half a dozen teeth.
Looks like just need to stick w nsrdc. No one runs 5s either
