Interested in trying your hand at 3D? Confused by conflicting advice regarding servos? We help guide you through specs like torque, speed, current, and voltage - and why they matter. Plus what's better for you; a BEC or battery - and why!

Ever wondered about the difference between DC, coreless, and brushless servo-motors? This askJOHN article addresses it in a largely brand neutral way. and is generically useful because all servos - regardless of brand - use one of these three types of motors (share the link freely).

The best performance comes by feeding the servo the highest voltage for which they're rated, 8.4V but getting there can be tricky. We look at several ways of skinning this cat.

Grab a cold one, pull up a chair, this PROfiles features Bret Becker's detail oriented approach and exemplary craftsmanship. A virtual renaissance man amongst aircraft modelers, superlatives won't do for this guy.

One of modelings premier engine men, and approaching 100 years on this Earth, Clarence Lee became an icon of the sport - and is revered - for freely sharing hard won wisdom regarding model engines, their care, and handling. This profile touches on one of his creations, the Lee Custom .61 as serially produced by K&B.

A wide range of servos are suitable for this versatile model but getting the right one involves honestly evaluating yourself as a modeler to keep from farting away more than you should, or to be happy with your choice.
