Wow, looking fantastic! Are the grey, white triangle-shaped stripes on the back painted or stickers?

Need advise which servo to use for my TA05 any recommendations?

by laneboysrc Wed 26 Dec 2012 - 15:39

According to the Tamiya manual TA05ver.II you need a "standard size" servo that is fast and moderately strong -- with preference to fast over strong. Standard size means 40 x 20 mm, 30 mm tall measured to the mounting lugs. See page 2 of the manual.

I like the Feetech FT5478M, which is "low profile", meaning it is not as tall as a normal servo (only 20mm tall measured to the mounting lugs).
Available at RC Mart for USD 20 + shipping.
Available locally at AutoDrift RC amongst others.

Hitec servo (available at Rotor) are also always a good choice. However, they use 24 tooth splines which are usually not part of the servo horn that comes in Tamiya kits (Tamiya comes with 23 and 25 tooth; Feetech uses 23 tooth btw).

And do watch out what voltage your servo will operate with! If you power it from the receiver via a BEC in your speed controller then make sure you do not buy a "high voltage servo" as those need at least 7 Volts or more. If such a servo is powered from a BEC/Receiver it will be very slow, weak and unreliable.
Often servo makers have the same servo as normal and high voltage version.

just my 2 cents, Werner
