450 pro cyclic servos

[Spiro]

I have the align ds410 servos in my 450 but every time I crash it the gears strip and it costs almost the price of a new servo to replace them. Does anyone know where I can get stronger servos for it?

There are quite a few alternatives. I refuse to pay the ridiculous prices that some servos cost and I'm currently using these on my 450 pro helis

They're a copy of the MKS DS95 but 1/4 the price - http://www.fast-lad.co.uk/store/ds95...5-p-13456.html

I've been using these now for 6 months and never had a problem.


Alternatively, you can buy metal gears to replace the plastic ones in your DS410 but the gear set is roughly the same price as the servos above.

Thanks James, how long does it usually take for orders to arrive from china?

Between 2 and 4 weeks is the norm, so you wouldn't want to be in a rush for them.

I tend to treat orders from HK as 'stock'. If I need something in a hurry, I buy from Ireland.

Thanks James, I'll have a think about what to get
