Silly question but i'm getting back into racing after a long break and was trying to source some decent servos for my vintage racing.
Will the new digital servos work with my older Novak NES-2X and vintage Tekin receivers?
I have a collection of NOS Futaba magnum, KO EX-7 and EX-9 transmitters and my original Futaba 2PD AM on 27Mhz and id like to use them again.
Kind Regards

I haven't had any issues, but I am not racing, just driving around the local park. It may be that the speed and torque are affected and I just can't tell.
I have used newer digital servos with my old AM receivers with no issues. I usually put a large capacitor on the batt plug on the receiver to reduce brown outs since the newer servos draw a bit more voltage than the old analog ones. The cap also reduces voltage spikes on the receiver side to mitigate glitching.
Seams to me digital has great and (what I did not expect) drawbacks. I bought the Flysky FS GT3B 2.4GHz 3-channel transmitter, FS GR3C 2.4GHz 3-channel receiver. I have not gotten her in the mail yet, and already went shopping for a digital...

I've used digital servos for ages without any programming box ;)
I have yet to understand what a digital programming box adds on top of all the bells and whistles built in most modern radios (out of which most of us only use EPA's and expo anyway)...
Finishing up a partially built 12L4 I snagged on ebay and I planned on putting in a Futaba S3002 metal gear servo. The problem is, the metal spline has really fine threads and a really short screw. The screw is long enough to mount a horn but not a...

that was a great deal on that L4, I almost bid on it but I want a link car so I can run Lipo. Are you going to come out to Thunder to run it?
Yea, it was thanks. The seller was a little careless and didn't bother to bag the rest of the small...
Hello everyone, i bought a gm racing he 4000 with traction control. Does anyone have more information about this esc? I can't find much or anything on the internet
Last post
much is probably identical to the 3000. I would be interested in the traction control setting
Guys, I'm in need of a little assistance. Can anyone add to this thread pics and info on this esc? What's got me is why the esc has Digital 1000 on the sticker yet the box says 3000s so really confused. Also no idea on specs etc...
I have recently acquired this vintage GM HEL 4000 Universe ESC. I know that this exact same speedo appeared on here several years ago.
The seller (maybe a member here as well) sent the ESC with a copy of the German manual. I still can't properly...

Managed to get it to run. Apparently the 'alarm' from the instruction is made by the motor whining (yes, after you connect it), similar to some of the modern esc (Castle). This ESC is really one of a kind, probably very similar to the Tekin 410K. I...
I use a Futaba 3pk radio with a Spektrum module. The problem is all my Futaba digital servos have this problem where they move erratically. I changed to normal servos and the problem goes away.

Thanks, I couldn't remember the specs on the cap so I didn't want to post the wrong info.
Hey everyone, it took a ton of research but I've compiled an article that ran in Velocity RC Magazine about the Evolution of RC Batteries. You can read it at the link below:
Enjoy,

The link in the OP still renders the battery article on my iPhone. :mrgreen:
