Awesome test as usual. The Holmes Hobbies is an awesome servo but they did have issue with the initial programming. Mine died after 3 runs and has been out of action for 7 weeks while they create a new batch. Probably have another 3-5 weeks wait until I see mine again. So while it’s way better the durability can be iffy, which is a shame as most of their products are amazing
It would be very nice if you could also show the torque in kg. You have viewers all over the wold, and this conversion is not that easy on the fly. I really love your servo test videos. They make decisions so much easier. Thank you!
I know this is an old video but I just installed and ran my first ever NSDRC servo. It’s an RS100 and it’s in my brushless powered Typhon Grom. It’s got plenty of power and is stupidly fast, but no matter what I’ve done, I’ve been unable to get the steering to stay straight. It won’t go in a straight line until the pressure of the 3s brushless system is on at nearly full power. Initially I thought it was slop in the steering or toe out of adjustment, but I’ve gone over it many times and played with the toe angles and I just can’t get it how I want it. No matter how I trim it on the radio, it still wonders right and left until it’s moving at a decent clip. I’m wondering now if it’s the servo being jittery. I’ll have to go and look closer. Thanks again for another great video, even if it’s 4 years later that I’m finally seeing it.
I have a stupid question... okay long story short. I have this adjustable air foil / spoiler on a tall vehicle You can adjust it to be flat or all the way up for enough angle of attack to create downforce. I did this to help the vehicles highway stability and yaw so its a bit more stable in winds up to speed. It is manually adjustable.. Given an educated guess because I don't have figures from race statistics or a wind tunnel from the 1960s... I would say on highway at 75 mph it produces maybe 50-75 maybe more lbs of downforce. Basically the spoiler has two pivots with axles and is similar in shape and pitch to an aircraft flap on a wing... So.. I thought it would be cool given the type of vehicle and it's luxury to make it electronic. At first I thought of a linear actuator as I've read they have like 35 lbs of push power ( definitely dont need that amount ) and can hold like 330 lbs. Problem there is the shaft is in the body so they have to be 50% the length of their stroke... I thought abuot putting it inside the vehicle and having a hole just for the shaft.. but water proofing would be a problem even with a snug sleeve or grommet around it... Then I said... What about a servo? This can just mount on the outside next to one of the brackets and work in theory .. and if I learn how to use the position style knob so I know where the spoiler is set without being on the outside of the vehicle or a camera.. The question is... even though this is about 3 ft lbs of torque... how much weight could it hold? or is this a stupid idea with a servo because it would over heat being that it would have to be on? or would the gears be locked into position with no live current with a position style knob... Linear actuator is on a screw obviously so it's completely different and can probably hold more... Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. I really want to make this work for in cab control for getting onto the highway. and turning the drag off when around town. Thanks.
Great test and valuable data! It would be great if you could show the torque in metrics for the international viewers (I'm used to work with both metric and imperial, but not really for torque) Would be perfect if you could post a table with the results of all your test. That would be an excellent reference!
I’m pretty sure the OZ would have been significant higher if you had the “tester” bolted in the hole of the servo arm that are closer to the spline.. Actually I think it would do the difference and come close to what they claim.. ✌🏼😌
a shorter arm would change it... Not sure if the company advertises 800kg at that specific length steering arm.Wish he would have measured on the inside hole of that steering arm...
The C-rating of the lipo, no. These servos are nowhere near the drain limit of the lipos. In this test too, the servos are powered by a 10amp power supply
@@itskarl79 the spec is 800 oz/inch. That means 800 ounces, on a hole 1 inch away from center. Our hole is exactly 1 inch away. For kg rated servos, it means x KG pulled 1 centimeter away from center. The hole location has to be exact otherwise, the results are random.
I received my JX HV7032MG today, 32kg and .09sec/60°. Working great in my Capra and is only 35$. But direct power servos are a league above generic ones!
@@RCReviewChannel but with futaba you get good servos that do not fail. And it would be nice to see their claims against the others. 1000/oz is nothing to sneeze at.
hey I have the ds3225 25kg servo with hobbywing 1080ESC and flysky gt3b,so on the program card I can setup the bed either to 6V or 7.4v?I can use the 7.4v option even tho the max specs say 6.8v?? You did 7.4v in your program card video and had the same SERVO just a 20kg version??
@@themountain59 I hear ya , I heard that before , and watched nitro guys spend top dollar and have them break , i been using the cheaper servos , i have 35kg Amazon 7.2 volts , its plenty power speed burns out nbd , especially with the bashing
@@themountain59 I only recently burnt out a servo Jr racing that was over 200 dollars , years ago before Amazon and internet atleast for me 😆.

Oh man, oh man. It is one of the most crucial upgrades. One doesn’t have to spend $100 as there are a ton of options. A lot of rtr servos though only steer when the rc is moving fast, not when crawling
Sure if you doing comp than you need the power , but as rc conasour jack rc right also as much as I want or going put homes hobbies or reefs in my gen8 , the servo in there is plenty using 8.4 ,
When I saw you test the Triple 5 from Reefs RC I bought 2, thank you for these tests. One suggestion if I may is can you test all voltages that the manufacturer rates them at? I would of liked to see what this one did at 8.4v. Even 7.4 and 6v just for curiosity sake. Keep up to good work. 👍🏽
Rc Servo Reviews is another fake by Jeremy Musso. Screenshots of him bragging about faking the test and ripping off the seller of his 777 are all over the internet now.
Savox SA-1230SG is only around $70 and holds up its name well. Says Monster Torque and it means it. Try one out. I like Savox and Reefs for my serious builds, all hardbody’s so need some serious power to turn em. Cheap Hexfly 25kg servos actually put up great, I use them for testing until I decide what to use in it.
Paul Clancy the Savox 1230sg is in my opinion the only good Savox made, but for $70 it puts up 500oz of torque at 6v. That is the best for your money if money is an issue
I am glad you did this test. If I saw my servo jittering like that, I would not know what the problem was.
Yup, for sure. We've tested more than 30 servos now and hope to do more as they're introduced.

I use this www.convertunits.com/from/oz-in/to/kg-cm
1000 oz-inches are 70kg-cm🤣
Oz in divided by 13.8 = kg
Pretty impressive to be honest. I just bought their micro servo for my scx24 have yet to install it but I have high hopes for it.
Great test! Your test bench is great, and your analysis are great too. I like the way you test and review things! Congratulations
I am always interested in these servo tests. Great video!
Yes, this took a LOT of time. But good data was gained.
Excellent test as always. I like my power HD 25kg WP aluminum case servo. It’s tough. Curious to what it actually puts out
I have one too! Good servo for the money
The Power HD is legitimate. The Annimos, not so much as RC Review has shown in previous tests.

That’s not how servos are tested
The rating is meant to be 1 inch from the center of the splines
Can you test the v2? It does 4s
Can you guys do a test of the FUTABA HPS A-700. Mahalo🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Rc Servo Reviews than you. 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

@@RCReviewChannel Hey, btw are you planning on attending the "Crawling out of covid" at Bear river lake resort? (first week of Oct)
Do you know if this servomotor can be used in a robotic arm and controlled by an Arduino or Raspberry Pi?
If your willing to shell out $160 the Protek 370TBL would by my recommended choice!
I received my JX HV7032MG today, 32kg and .09sec/60°. Working great in my Capra and is only 35$. But direct power servos are a league above generic ones!
Reefs
Test the futaba a700 and s9177
We'll check into it. Futaba though is so expensive for what they deliver for the money.
@@RCReviewChannel but with futaba you get good servos that do not fail. And it would be nice to see their claims against the others. 1000/oz is nothing to sneeze at.
We tested the Futaba 371BLS for $175. So much lower than claimed at only 257oz/in of torque. ruclips.net/video/yhcCDPBdjyE/видео.html
I run Holmes and ProModeler so I don't have a dog in the futaba fight. But I see those two servos used a lot and am curious
Is there really some official specs using oz-in instead of the long time worldwide standard of Nm? Bizarre!

I'm not sure. it looks like a good servo. Don't know if it's for me or not. I'm using a savox servo it's pretty decent.
If not broken dont fix 😆 savox is good
@@paulclancy2404 We used to love Savox. Not so much anymore. They all perform below their claims. And they're noisy and don't center too well.

If a servo can steer, why upgrade it? Hundred bucks is a lot of money
Oh man, oh man. It is one of the most crucial upgrades. One doesn’t have to spend $100 as there are a ton of options.
A lot of rtr servos though only steer when the rc is moving fast, not when crawling
If a tire rolls, why replace it... 🤦♂️
My tires started falling apart and rims cracking( mistaken of drag slicks) and still don’t replace it🤪🤣
Your crazy to think a stock servo will last through a comp!
Sure if you doing comp than you need the power , but as rc conasour jack rc right also as much as I want or going put homes hobbies or reefs in my gen8 , the servo in there is plenty using 8.4 ,
