Is there any SES compatible servo between the capabilities of the HS-5645MG (168 oz/in) and the HS-5955TG (333 oz/in) servos?
It seems like going from the HS-5645MG at $55.00 to the HS-5955TG at $115.00 is quite a jump. It’s not a bad jump going from an HS-645MG (analog, 133 oz/in) to an HS-5645MG (digital, 168 oz/in), but it seems like there should be a servo with capabilities (and price) between the HS-5645MG and the HS-5955TG (digital, 333 oz/in).
Doesn’t Hitec make any servo to fill this gap that would sell for something around $75.00 or so?
I don’t mind paying for the capabilities I need in a servo for a project, but I also don’t care to pay for more than I need (with a bit of headroom). If I need something stronger than an HS-5645MG, that’s fine. However, if I don’t need something as strong as an HS-5955TG, I would rather get something less (and pay less).
I guess it just seems silly to me for there not to be at least one servo to fill the capability/price gap I see.
yeah! exactly same thing I though for a long time, i’s anoying doing a 2X jump… but, after looking, no, theres nothing, a gap, like in other compagnies theres like a 220 oz./in. servos (but, there not hiteh, so ), not for hitec, that what they should do.
I already looked at the Futaba line, and they don’t have anything within the range gap I am looking for either. I wonder if there are manufacturing issues that cause a company to have such a wide gap in capabilities in their servo line.
The idea is not to spend a lot of money, and not pay for more than what is actually needed as far as servo power. The servo must be fully SES compatible also.
Futaba’s other 200+ oz/in servos are $100 and up. Looks like Hitec has the best prices for high torque digitals. And yes, there is quite the gap between the $50 servos and the $100 servos. And yet their torques overlap.
Could possibly be the change over to coreless motors that ups the price. Those little buggers are expensive.
I can’t see myself spending that much unless that much torque is really needed for a project.
The price on this one is so close to the Hitech HS-5955TG, that I’d spend the additional $15.00 and get the Hitech servo (and the 333 oz/in torque).
I guess I just need to know what justifies the huge jump in price between the HS-5645MG and the HS-5955TG other than the increased torque. There has to be something besides the increased torque.
I guess this could be it then. It still seems like somebody could make a servo to fill the 168 oz/in to 333 oz/in gap (like around 250 oz/in or so) and keep the price reasonable, like around $75.00 or so, too.
The geartrain material is a big thing. Titanium is expensive and hard to machine compared to steel. Check out the robonova servos. They might be what you are looking for.
