[firebird999]

well eBay is always your friend.

[civicdude95]

can you post a link to which one i would have to get or which one would be the best

http://cgi.ebay.ca/10x-SG90-9g-Micro...QQcmdZViewItem "what about that one"

[fieldfairy2]

no that one isn't a hs55. THis one is.

Here is their website
http://www.hitecrcd.com/servos/show?name=HS-55
go to the bottom of the page and click on where to buy. Type in your zip code and you should get some stores near you.

Towerhobbies has some.

THe cheapest way to get a hs-55 is at your local hobby store.

What body will you be using for crawling? If it has a truck bed i would recommend the tamiya universal gearbox.

[civicdude95]

i live in canada so i have to ship one unless my lhs has some

I would say no because i haven't seen any one use it. BUt it could work. If you want to take the risk you can. but i would go with a hs-55.

[civicdude95]

yea the one on ebay that one you posted i think i might get 2 or 3 incase one goes bad you know what i mean like blow up or soemthing

im using it underneath a hummer h2 body will that one you posted work

[fieldfairy2]

yep i posted both hs-55 servos. Before you buy online see if any of you local hobby stores has it. They are usually cheaper.

A tamiya gearbox has more torque but it is to big for a hummer and it is cheaper and easier to install but there are no tuts for it.

Good luck

don't double post either. Just click the edit button. It will help in the future.

[civicdude95]

yea sorry for the double post ok well i remember checking my hoppy shop like a week ago and they said they dont carry servos so im gunna have to buy online

[fieldfairy2]

Ok well good luck getting one than installing it. Hope to see it installed.

You double posted 3 times in this thread already. lol

[civicdude95]

lol yea when i get it ill post some pics of it under my hummer project under appearence. i only need 25 bux to get it shipped to canada and the cost of it so thats a good deal

[bondo]

$25 is pretty expensive for an HS-55.
if it was an HS-50 or HS-81 then i could understand but the 55 is the cheapest HItech servo.
i bought one from servo city and paid $9.99 and $3.00 for shipping.(looks like i bought the last one)
if your paying more then $5.00 for shipping on an item that weighs 8g and is the size of three quarters stacked then your getting ripped off.

Towerhobbies is great..........if you live in the US, otherwise you get completely ripped off for shipping to Canada (and likely anywhere else).


EDIT: Try greathobbies.com, located in Canada (PEI and Alberta, I believe)

[civicdude95]

make sure it's what your looking for.
just because it''s a servo doesnt mean that it would make a cood crawling powerplant.
there are servos made for speed and servos made for torque.
check the dimensions of it to make sure it will fit your application
you also have to be sure that the servo is adaptable for 360 degree rotation.

the manufacturer should have a homepage listing the specs of the servo, if not, google it.


@theoriganalRiD3R1967,
please do not bump other peoples threads.
it's rude and asking a question in someone elses thread is a form of hijacking.
everything you need to know about using the HS-55 in an Xmod can be found here.
