comparing servo statistics

[redrunner]

When working around a budgete you some times have to think about making do with what you have already purchased.....

I think that this thred could be useful to others that are looking to see specs of some of their gear to compare their characteristics of different Brands of servos and what recievers they are using with these servos.

I will look at what I am using and post it asap.

Hi,
Servos: Hitech HS-50, HS-55
Westech 3.0
JR Micro
GWS Pico, Naro
FMA S80
The price range for these servos hits a maximum with the Westech at around $60.00, and bottoms With the GWS and Hitech -55. Check the sales at various advertisers, the prices float around.
The Westech is the lightest at 3 grams, and has the least force of the bunch. Moving up a bit The Hitech HS-50, GWS Pico are the next lightest at under 6 grams ea. The HS-50 has the lowest current drain of most all of these. The Hitch -55, JR Micro, GWS Naro, and FMA S80 all weigh near 9 grams and have similar output force.
As far as receivers, All of these servos will work with any of the receivers currently being sold. There may be a plug issue with the Westech servo because it has a micro plug that does not fit all receivers.
These are the servos that I have personal experience with in the light electrics. There are a number that I have not personally used that are fine units. Time for someone else to check in.
