ProModeler

For modelers who relish their modeling adventures at the smaller end of the scale, this sub-micro servo is a tour de force in miniaturization. We call it a sub-micro because it's frame is a bit less than 23mm long (micros are built on 29mm long frames). Equipped with two bearings where competitive units make do with one, this servo has exemplary centering due to the Japanese million-cycle Nobel potentiometer. Many look at this servo and say it's overbuilt - and it is. It's been overbuilt...

This DS110CLHV is one of 4 ProModeler mini-size digital servo alternatives. Sharing the same hybrid construction as the DS160CLHV, this one is rated at 110oz-in instead of 160oz-in. Featuring the same look due to hybrid (plastic/aluminum) construction, the 110 and 160 have coreless motors. Costlier alternatives in the mini-class include the 160BLHV and 205BLHV. More expensive due to an all-aluminum case, these also have brushless motors and an up-rated gear train. Anyway, outputting 110 oz-in...

What's this servo for? Suitable uses for a DS125CLHV include small unmanned vehicles for civilian consumer, defense contractors, and industry alike. Examples include; 1/24th scale RC crawlers Fixed-wing 3D aircraftTactical surveillance UAVs Micro rotary-wing applications Click Specs next.

What's this servo for? if you're into weighting your SCX24 with brass (everybody doesn't but those who do, you know why), then we've just made a batch of Brass Monkeys. Basically, it's our DS125CLHV servo but instead of CNC machining the case from a billet of 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum, we started off from solid brass billets, instead. The point? 41g vs 21g, which puts an extra 20g mounted in the right place . . . low. In short, created to help increase control for pro-level SCX24 crawlers. So...

The DS130DLHV is a high voltage (HV) digital servo built on a tough hybrid case of aluminum and plastic. Equipped with dual ball bearings and all-metal gears (for durability), it outputs 130 oz-in (+8 pounds of force) and has a transit time of 0.17sec/60°. This is what's called a standard-size servo - meaning it fits most remote control models. Competing with similar products from other manufacturers, the $30 price puts it in the middle of the pack. To help figure out whether these are the...

DS135BLHV under construction DS135BLHV - 135oz-in - 0.026sec/60°

The DS150CLHV is basically the same as the DS100DLHV except in the motor selection, which leads it to have about 50% more torque and be about 2X as fast. Consequently, it carries a modest price premium for the added performance. In all honesty, 99% of modelers are served perfectly well by the less costly DS100DLHV - but without question - there are some amongst you for whom the added performance of the DS150CLHV makes the difference when you're performing 3DXA maneuvers and especially when...

What do you do if you need a lot of power plus speed and can't (or don't want to) fit a standard size servo? Your best alternative is usually a mini and this superb example makes as astonishing 205oz-in, has a brushless motor (most competitors rely on a coreless motor, instead, and is lightning fast at 0.05sec/60°. The secret to this kind of performance? There is none because basically, all we do is shoehorn a standard size servo motor into a mini-class frame by slotting the sides of the case....

DS255BLHV under construction DS255BLHV - 255oz-in - 0.047sec/60°

The DS270DLHV is a high voltage (HV) digital servo built on a hybrid aluminum/polymer case that outputs 270 oz-in with a transit time of 0.12sec/60°. This servo will often find a home in IMAC and 3D models spanning 96-104" and powered by 100cc engines because it centers superbly and is, quite simply, built better than others in its class. For example, mechanically, everything depends on the center-case. To begin, it's hogged out of a solid billet of 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum. Then, because...
