Title: TowerPro M995 Servo any Good?
Post by: Chiragthelegend12 on September 11, 2018, 11:26:58 PM
Recently, my traxxas servo (#2075) stripped its gears upon a crash. (or maybe, I misaligned them)
I was using the Stock dual servo setup.
I don't want to buy a new traxxas servo nor wait for the gears to arrive, so I ordered a Towerpro M995 from Amazon.
I'm sure that it won't be the original one but still, I just want it for like a week.

Would It hold up? Would there be any centering issues?

Also, how to prevent servos fighting each other?

I tried them on my Summit. They don’t work well. The keep jittering and have centering issues. Traxxas receivers don’t seem to like them at all. Though these are claimed to be digital servos, but I doubt if they really are. I had to use Hitec servos on mine.
You can buy Hitecs in India.
Sumeetinstruments from Kolkata are authorised resellers for Hitec

The dual servo setup has adjustable linkages (atleast on Summit there are) to elongate or shorten the linkage. By doing so you can easily prevent them from fighting each other.

E-Revo is on same platform so I am sure they would have similar setup on them

I had bought 3 TowerPro M995 from amazon and had to return all of them.
2 of them had centering issues. Last one died in a week.

The servos arrived, They seem pretty strong coz it can move my chassis up and down(I connected the arms wrong lol)
And yeah, I'm not gonna use them for long, Gonna get back to the traxxas one's soon.

Btw, the servo is 360 degrees continuous rotation, Can I change it to 90 degrees?  How to?
 
@sim_tcr Looks like the one's you got were bad quality fakes.
