Ian_Gsi16V 533 Posted October 19, 2016 I have purchased a Core RC 2.4 stick transmitter set for a new build for my nephew and now I need to find a servo for it... Can anyone recommend one? It is going to be a basher so doesn't have to be anything fantastic, a hobbywing jobby would be ideal I had a look myself but it seems like a minefield and I know quite a few guys run the Core set so thought best to ask Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Backlash 481 Posted October 19, 2016 The TowerPro Metal Gear servos that you can buy cheap off eBay seem to be popular, and would probably be suitable.. Effigy3 recommended these Tactic servos just recently in another thread.. Tactic servos.. http://www.tacticrc.com/servos/index.html Thread.. Personally, I like to use (genuine) Futaba S3003 servos in most of my runners.. You can also get a S3001 that is ball raced.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian_Gsi16V 533 Posted October 19, 2016 That is great thanks, I have always used Futaba myself so will pick up a couple of the S3003 servos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wooders28 4723 Posted October 19, 2016 If you dont mind me asking, where did you get the Core ? I'd been searching for the CR151, that was recommended in another thread, but the closest i got was Otley modelsport would maybe have them in for December!

Fusion Hobbies bud, apparently in stock and haven't had an email to inform me otherwise yet so fingers crossed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butler 338 Posted October 19, 2016 Tamco TAC330 is the same as the CR151 and I think there is a Etroniks version as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fusion wouldnt except my order online (paypal wouldnt go through) Phoned them (to check if the order had gone through), told me they had no Core in stock, but informed the Tamco TAC330 was the same (glad it was confirmed here!), so I've ordered one of those. I'd give them a phone and chase your order. (Price up the Tamco first though, found it online cheaper, but they advertise a price match). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Illogical 141 Posted October 19, 2016 What is the servo for? Maybe a waterproof one would be a good idea. Also do you want a fast response or a high torque - or both? I like Hitec servos myself but the Savöx und Tactic are well liked here generally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Servo is for my nephews new Stadium Thunder, through and through basher so doesn't need anything too fancy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got mine this morning, is the steering meant to be spring loaded to auto centralise? Mine doesn't, and 2 puncture holes when the sticks have been rammed through the box, doesn't bode well.

I opened the box up and had a look, all seemed fine but tbh, I didn't mess with it that much as it is for my nephews birthday a week today, I think I need to take a closer look based on this though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butler 338 Posted October 27, 2016 I have the RC Core version and 2 friends have the TAMCO, 2 of the 3 of us have had to open up the tx and check the spring action on the throttle. Once back together they have been fine ever since even though we didn't do anything. I am guessing you have the same issue but on the steering. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wooders28 4723 Posted October 27, 2016 I did wonder if i should have a look at a repair, but ,knowing my luck, I'd pull it apart, not be able to repair it, then not able to send it back! I spoke to fusion, and they've said they will replace it, so i managed to catch the last post today (litterally, postman waiting for me in his van outside the office!) .

Ian_Gsi16V 533 Posted October 28, 2016 Checked mine last night, I must be one of the lucky ones as it seems fine so far 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
