i have bought a kyosho mp9 recently. now i need to change the servos. so please suggest me some good servo brands.

iamahuman

Ko Propo, Futaba, Hitec, Radiopost are reliable.

What's your budget?

first of all thank u for ur reply. My budget is around  :Rs:5500 for steering. How about Savox?

iamahuman

Savox is pretty good as well. Take a look at the 1267 and 1268 if you're using a lipo to power your receiver


What transmitter do you use?

Also, take care to see to it that the servo is mounted with the grommets to protect our from vibrations.

Savox with lipos specially high voltage servos are awesome but has one major disadvantage, they consume a lot of current so u should have more than 1 lipo battery in spare...
Radio post are always better but they are slightly expensive than Savox.

i use syncro  kt 201 transmitter which was pre installed

It probably won't handle input from an unregulated lipo. You'll need a LiFe pack for your Rx or you'll need a regulator if you want to use a lipo. Your stock battery pack will have a hard time with the savox servo.

what is meant by life pack?

i use sony cyclepower aa 2500mAps batterys. Is it okay?  :help:

LiFe refers to the chemistry of the battery(the actual term is LeFeP4 which stands for Lithium Iron Phosphate).

LiPo stands for Lithium Polymer. It sounds like you've got the RTR which comes with the NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) pack. NiMH packs are generally heavier and can't sustain high power draws for long.

The problem with connecting a LiPo directly is that your Rx can't take the full voltage. A LiFe has a lower voltage than a LiPo which a normal Rx can sustain. LiFe packs are slightly heavier compared to lipos but are much better than NiMH packs.

The cyclepower batteries cannot supply the current drawn by the Savox servos. If you plan on upgrading your servos, you should get a good battery which will also need a decent charger.

Thank u sir. :thanks:

Please suggest me some good LiFe battery company's and their costs if possible.

iamahuman

I've used a friend's LiFe bought from Hobbyking and it was pretty good. It was a Zippy.

I know RC Dhamaka from Bangalore sells LiFe batteries but I'm not sure if they are small enough to be used on cars.

I don't have a clue about costs.

Don't forget, you'll need a decent charger to charge them.
