Getting mini Titan.. advise needed

[detach8]

ammo correct me if i'm wrong, the HS81MG is the one with one plastic gear despite it being MG, but not a 65MG? that's what i heard.

[tucfaz]

JR ES375 fits perfectly. No trimming no glitch..

its ok. glad u did a check to find out yourself. another thing on the servos. i read from somewhere that if u use hs65 or hs65mg u will need to do some trimming on the servo mount, though not really a big deal. i am using hs56 on my mini-t and they fit perfectly.

[ammo]

Looks like i need to tear apart a 65MG and find out how's it like in there

Hi john, great tips and info.. I reckon you fly the Titan btw?

Okay, so here it goes:

Proposed Configuration v2
=========================
$315.00 - Mini Titan E325 Kit + Motor+ESC
$405.70 - Hitec OPTIC 6 Electron w/HS65HBx4
$103.00 - Enerland PolyQuest PQ-2200XP 3s1p 20C
$169.00 - Imax B5 Li-po balance charger

======
$992.70


Now it's even cheaper!

bro, ur config is missing a gyro.....

Why bother ? ......in the end, the servos still develop backlash faster than you can say "SLOP" !

Hey guys, how's the below config?

Do I really need a digital servo for tail? Or HS 65HB will do?

Trying to keep the cost down.

Thanks!


Proposed Configuration v2.1
=========================
$315 - Mini Titan E325 Kit + Motor+ESC
$178 - Logictech LTG-2100T
$405.70 - Hitec OPTIC 6 Electron w/HS65HBx4
$103 - Enerland PolyQuest PQ-2200XP 3s1p 20C
$169 - Imax B5 Li-po balance charger

======
$1170.70

i'll not advise a hs65 for the tail, it might be too slow..

go for the s3154

at the same time, i do believe I have heard of s3154 not having the durabilty to hold out over time.

9650 or hs81 are also alternatives.

I believe is the HS81 is a cost effective solution for your current situation even after you roll and flip. That is, unless you already can do inverted hover too.

Just a my 2 cents

[johndyl]

s3154 has to be run at 5V or less and not at 6V. I have used mine for quite some time and the electronics are still gd, though i have changed the casing.

i personally feel that the logictech doesnt hold the tail that well with analog servos, that's why it is either the s3154 or 9650. someone also recommended a HDS877(not sure of the model no.) i think

jus go for HS81, to cut cost....and alot of bros i know using tht also

[glenn cain]

i personally am using the hds 877 with gy240. i don't fly 3d, and just some FF so far, but when i switch to 15t with my apache motor, which is a a20-6xl hacker clone, i had yet to measure headspeed, but my tail was not holding well anymore. just barely.

there are other complains in the past by other forums about how quickly it fail in 10 flights, and about how this is caused by binding, thus inducing high current in the servo. but I don't know the facts about this batch on, for it has served me well in 10 packs of flight with 13t.

perhaps you want to do your homework with this. a bad tail could make a bad day.

it may help to run ur tail servo in ds mode(since it is digital), but u'll have to upgrade ur gyro to a 401 or logictech liao...

btw, have u been involved in any crashes lately? i am asking because I was previously having a hard time getting the tail to hold again after a crash.. after another subsequent crash then i discovered a slightly crack tail case and also a tail gear that is slipping. u may want to have a look

[glenn cain]

Well i have heard numerous reports about it not being able to handle the stress from a 401 in DS mode. I know it sounds ironic, but it seems there is so much pulse current or whatever that it fries the motor or something.

However, the crash check suggestion seems interesting. I will look into that.

[johndyl]

i guess u re refering to the s3154? yup heard it cant handle the ds out from 401, current or voltage too high

thats why i am getting a 9650 with 401 to try on my mini T.. alot more ex

crash chk , i assume ur servo ok hor..?

9650 and 401 on mini titian
