- A coreless, digital, 270 degree servo. With 35kg power. Sounds cool right?
We typically use 23kg waterproof servos in our vehicle, but thought we would try this 35kg to see if the power difference was worth it.
Is it? I certainly think so! This might be my new go-to servo.

The degree rating of the servo has almost no effect in RC, this has to do with robotics use of servos normally. The 270 is referring to mechanical limits of the servo and the ability of the encoder to accurately giving position info for that range. RC transmitters do not generate a signal range for this amount of range on the steering channel so you could put any servo of any rating and get nominally the same range of motion. The difference in range you are seeing is likely due to a slight resolution difference in the PWM signal interpretation between the two servos. Transmitters do exist that allow you to alter the pwm frequency range and change the angle range of the servo.
Thank you!
Since this video, I have tried the same servo on with my Futaba gear. With it, I can set the endpoint past 100%, and it does provide even further angle that way at least.
If I'm understanding. You would want the 180° and not the 270° . I have both but It is one that went bad. The only way to tell the difference is the 3 colors of the wire. Other then that they look exactly the same.. .but you kinda lost me about the pwn. It digital so it should be ok
Nice man! I put this in my Capra, and so far it's been working great!
Great! I have been very happy with it also. It is STRONG!
Just installed this servo on my ole Wraith from your recommendation and I'm loving it! Thx!💚🙏👍😁
Awesome! Glad to hear it. They have been really good for me.
Great comparison 👍
you showed the difference 👏
Great! Glad it came across in the video.
Your radio and receiver are the deciding factor in how far the servo swings.
You are right! Those certainly have an influence.
Since this video, I have tried this servo with one of my Futaba radios. It does give it more swing, but still not the full 270*
I have the 35kg in my crawler and love it.
Thanks for the feedback!
Just ordered one for my everest gen 7 pro
I just got the 180 degree version of this and installed it in my wraith. I had an expensive savox servo in it before and this is a nice and much quieter upgrade.
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
Void X RC how are you getting on with the servo?
@@dangavin It's still going great! I've not had any problems with it.
I was curious to try this servo for the same rig so thanks for the video!
Glad to help!
It has done really well for me!
Thanks so much brother. Picking up to try. Definitely lot better vs 23kg by a long mile
Sure seemed like it was better!
I will be interested to see the longevity, but looks good so far!
Fantastic Test and Review, learnt alot from this Video, really enjoyed every minute, sorry I've missed your vids bro, 😔 hope you have a great Christmas 👍🎅⛄👍
Thanks for the support.
It is hard to catch everyone's videos - we are all lucky to have such a large hobby community.
To get 270 degrees you need to increase the end points. The reason you can’t do that is because your transmitter only goes up to 100% however you can program certain controllers to increase the end points more. My controller goes to 140% however I think the amount you can change depends on the transmitter.
I think or maybe your transmitter goes only a bit more than 100%
Try using a programmable radio and program it to increase the end points
Great point! I hadn't thought of how some controllers go past 100%.
It always is outside of my Engineer mind to think past 100! :)
Roadside RC I don’t know why all controllers don’t have max end points and then you can dial them down. Some things are a bit strange.
Thanks for the vid I am thinking about modifying the servo on my vkar bison.
@@officialflippers6944 Agree. I would certainly recommend this one based on my experience.
Roadside RC thank you
Thanks! I order mine today! 💪
Hope you like it!
Kewl. Good to know about this servo. I'm going to order 2 of them
Glad to hear it.
There is also a new "pro" model that is even better, and is only a few dollars more.
Definitely need to try this servo, awesome job brother
Thank you!
It seems like a really nice one.
@@RoadsideRC Hooah brother
Just ordered one. Thanks heaps :)
Hope you like it - they have done well for me!
@@RoadsideRC :)
Merry Christmas 🤶
Thank you.
I actually have 2 of those 25KG in my rigs seem to perform really. For my driving style🙂 I seen this 35KG haven't tried them out yet hoping to get one as well. Great demonstration thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
I tried to figure out ways to show the power difference.
I use the 35kg you gotta watch getting wheels pinned between two immovable objects it will break something or strip the horn before giving up. its fun though when you steer in a bunch of big flat rocks it will throw them around
i have same servo to my Kraton 6s and its very strong servo and quicker plus good price in Amazon
Exactly! These are really good, especially for the price!
great upgrade and nice video
Thank you!
Not sure if they asked you or not but they totally used a screen shot of your video on the product page on amazon as one of the images. 5th one down I believe. Also core less servos (or motors) just mean the permanent magnets are on the inside and the windings are self supporting and go on the outside of the magnets instead of the inside like a regular dc motor. The idea being there is much less mass to start and stop as the windings aren't braced to a heavy steel core. This teamed with a digital controller which updates the signal to the motor at over 300hz (compared to a analog servo controller which only updates at 50hz) you get a faster more "snappy" feel.
Thanks!
Yes, the seller reached out and asked for it. I thought that was kind of cool!
I'm installing this in my TTpro
Good choice!
About you're 270 degree remark, its based on receiver settings, but with the 180 and 270 being the same price might as well go with the 270 in case you find other uses for it other than steering which is why I got the 270.
Thanks!
I found another controller (Futaba) that allowed it to go much further.
Putting one on my rock racer👍
Awesome! I have been very happy with it.
Your end point adjustments should help. Some good power at a good price. Surprised you have the plastic steering links, may need to get some hot racing links!
I think my wife/kids got me some metal links for Christmas...although to be honest, much better to break a cheap plastic link than a metal one.
We crawl HARD :)
Oh yeah, informative video I kind of skipped through or wanted to Find out what voltage you were running it at
I ran it at stock BEC voltage.
I just ordered one earlier
Nice! Hope you like it!
Good servo install :)
Thank you!
You could have tied some fishing line to the servo horn and clamped the servo in a vice. Then, added weight until it stopped lifting. Just through a maybe 90-120* swing mind you. And if you can't then the best you can do is just tell us subjectively.
You are right again! That would have worked.
Honestly - I did mess with some metal bars I had around to see if I could rig something up...but didn't get it to work.
Still, I really enjoy this servo and run it in most of my trucks.
looks legit
Seems like it is! Good price also!
You need to switch to using a PWM signal to get the full turn.
When I used it with my Futaba controller, I got more angle.
just got one for my trailtrucker
Great! Hope you like that power!
@@RoadsideRC love it i can put my foot on the front and it still goes
Your rc car is on Amazon right now. They took a picture of your rc car and put it up for the servi
Yes! They asked me if they could do that.
That's just as far as your remote will let it go it's not a continuous throw that's just as far as your remote switch allows it to be it's not like turn on and just continue to go and then reverse polarity and go the opposite way until it wants to stop it goes only so far that your switch allows it to but if you set it up you could probably use it as for like a winch with a different kind of throwing switch where you just reverse the polarity back and forth and turn it on and just continue to go and go and go then it would probably do that but otherwise it's only going as far as your switch your steering knob will allow it to go
You are correct! Thanks!
why is a screenshot of your truck on the amazon listing?
They asked of they could use it!
Just ordered one for my drift build, hopefully it's fast enough so I don't have to get a brushless one, lol... 🤣😂🤣😅
What chassis are you putting it in?
I expect it should work great.
@@RoadsideRC I'm putting it in the 2020 Kyosho Mercedes AMG GT3, the new MK2 chassis. 😁 I'm doing 2 builds as I have time on my channel, one Drift and one Speed...
Gotcha. Steering speed is not very important with an AWD drift car. The steering doesn't do a lot for control of the car.
Hello, I have one of these servos and I couldn't get the detach to work with arduino, I mean the servo stays fixed but active if the power is not disconnected? or is there a way to disable it and be able to move it by hand with
any command from arduino? thank you
I'm sorry, I have never used it with arduino.
@@RoadsideRC thank you anyway
por qué compras un servo de 270º si solo usas 90º??
Solo lo ofrecen en opciones de 270* o 180*. Esperaba que el 270 me diera más recorrido.
@@RoadsideRC necesitas un pwm signal expander o una emisora mejor
Do you have a Long term review on that servo that you put in to your wraith mine just went out it was a stock unit I’m looking to upgrade it
Yes! Used it for a long time without issues. Been putting this servo in my other vehicles ever since.
Are you using a bec with that or is it straight off your stock receiver?
Straight off of the receiver!
I haven’t been able to find much info on this, but will this servo work on a TRX-6?
Yes - the TRX6 uses a standard servo dimension.
@@RoadsideRC thanks! I heard that traxxas servos kinda suck lol
my friend this servo can use on tamiya tt02 and on battery 2s lipo ?
Yes!
Is it still working? I have purchased two of them in less than one year because they stopped working without no reason
Yeah - these have been GREAT for me. I have them in multiple trucks without an issue.
Are you setting your endpoints correctly? If trying to overextend, it will fry them.
@@RoadsideRC Yes, I am. They work fine for one or two months and then, they stop working, so I am looking for other servo, but not sure which one is better than that one.
The warranty on amazon was 4bucks and covers you 3 years....I bought thr warranty..
Which servo u recommend me for my udr. Thanks
I would suggest you try this 35kg. Link is in the description!
I'm no expert, tho I been in this mess for 40+ years, but to go to the maximum ends of a servo, u gotta have a servo programming box. We used to use them during my rc helicopter days.
Too, it could possibly be the transmitter u have. On digital transmitters u can go to the hi (& low) side to beyond the max.
You are right! Since this video, I have used one of these servos with one of my Futaba controllers, and I was able to get more throw from the servo. Either way, it works good, and since the 270* is the same price as the 180* - I don't see why not to get it.
Thanks for the comment!
I see you are close to/around cookeville tn. I live on the va/tn line, in Bristol Virginia. 2 "groups" of crawler ppl here. The 1 I'm with (laid back, crawl together when we can) & te other 1. LOL! WE outta get together sometime!
@@old-rcplane-phart Sounds great!
I keep meaning to get over to the RRW Krawlzone. Ever been there? It is between us.
Hi! Can any digital servo use arduino for programming? Thankyou!
I am sorry, but I have never used an arduino for programming.
As far as "should you be able to use any digital servo" yes, as long as you're sending the correct signal which I believe is just PWM so you shouldn't have any issue (there are plenty of articles that show / explain the correct frequency range for servos online). In fact most digital and analog servos work the same way it's just digital is way more precise. The control signal to servo is the same (unless you buy a specific servo that uses sbus or some other type of signal) it's just the analog servo only updates the signal to motor at 50hz but the digital servo updates at over 300hz. This is crucial in some cases, this update also applies to the self sustaining angle hold that servos do. If a outside force tries to push a servo the servo will attempt to hold its position. The 50hz update of the analog servo may be to slow for what ever it is you're trying to do and the servo will allow the outside force to effect it more then the digital will.
Will it lift 35 right Upward??
Never tried!
increased power should be useful
*🎅happy christmas🎄you got our like👍Au👍🤗full viewed🎄supporting🎅*
Thanks Billy!
All radios have Different endpoint limits most servo specs are determined for robotics! If you connect different radios to it you will get different travel points! The more expensive radios have a greater end point adjustment! That tactic you have there is not the greatest radio and thats gonna limit how far the servo travels!
You are 100% correct!
I have since used this with my Futaba radio, and it gets much more travel when set at 120% steering end point. Still, no where near 270*.
Well its digital and it knows to stop. Just FYI it is given quadrants.
Thanks. I am not 100% on how these work.
Another viewer said if I could turn my endpoints past 100%, it would turn farther.
The servo horn it comes with is horrible, run the TRX-4 metal replacement. I tested quite a few, it wins hands down over anything with pinch bolt setup I've seen.
Thanks for the tip - I will certainly check it out. I have been using this servo horn on multiple vehicles without an issue though!
waarom een 270 en niet 180 graden
270 allows more ability for wider turning. 180 is also OK
Cost Of 35kg servo?
Less than $40! I think it was $38
31.99 on amazon. 4bucks for 3 year warranty
Servo will only move as far as transmitter tells it to..
You are right!
*add to cart
Nice!
These servos have done really well for me.
@@RoadsideRC that's good can't argue with the price point!
Update on this: they are made of glass so I've tried the injoras since. Also made of glass. Now I'm using some powerHD units 😅 come full circle here
Interesting - I have literally never broken one...and I have them in MANY vehicles at this point.
