Digital servos in Lynx 6

Anybody replaced the stock servos in a lynx 6 with digital servos?

If so does it improve range of motion, liftable weight or accuracy at all?

also can the SCC take the higher current demands of digital servos?

Thanks -Teflon

to expensive maybe?

Anyone’s thoughts would be greatly apprieciated.

Digital servos are faster, stronger, have a better holding force and better resolution than analog servos. Using them in an L6 would give it the ability to lift more with greater accuracy, but it would not affect the range of motion. All hobby servos are limited to 180° range of motion.

The SSC-32 can supply 15 amps per side for a total of 30 amps.

Sorry I missed the original post. :blush:

!st thanks for the quick reply… I understand that you’ve got alot of posts to read. Second,… Are there small digital servos that would fit the lyn x 6? Third, I’ve heard that digital servo are noisey is this true?

Thanks very very much.

The 5645, 5955, 5980 and 5990 are digital servos that will work with the arm. Digital servos do have a wine or a squealing noise. The 5980 and 5990 are the loudest. I am not aware of any digital micro servos though.

And are they as “whiney” as the other digital servos you mentioned?

thanks very much…

FYI - I’ve found a digital versions of the micro-servos in this kit.
I believe the HS-5085MG might work. pricey I know… but I need the
resolution and I’ve already stripped my HS-85BB by being a little rough.
