Axial SCX6 budget servo test. Power HD 80kg vs Spektrum SPMSS6510

[@tankinfrankrc1087]

Good video and nice testing. I trashed my stock servo on my second trail run. Got it replaced via warranty and carry it as a spare in the vehicle toolbox. I too went with the PH 80kg instead of spending the big bucks. It's been in the rig for 8 months now with no issues. My observation so far is it performs a little better than stock. However, I do try not to get it in binding situations. You are right though, the metal shock towers are a must! Great info on the BEC, i think that will be my next mod before I upgrade the servo again.

Highly recommend the bec. It makes a huge improvement on speed and power.

i did get the shift x5, super power , ,, 14.8 volts, 4s batery just for it, was it worth it, YES,if your a crawler, or climber, it,s so fast and strong, your video,s are great information, thank you much!!

[@rcilluminati26]

Awesome, I feel like eventually I’ll end up with a high end servo. It’s hard not to push the limits of this truck and the steering def holds it back

Was just about to get a power hd for my scx 6 thanks for the review looking for something else

Brilliant video. Love the serious testing and input 👍

[@edwardperez9833]

Thanks, you answered a lot of questions. 👍🏻

[@rcilluminati26]

Happy to help

great video on servo options, you can change the stock ESC built in BEC to 7.4V with the sektrum v2 program card , its Item 12 option 2 to set it to 7.2v, just wanted to add that small note.

[@rcilluminati26]

Yes, I should’ve mentioned that. I feel like the bec is still better though because it has its own power source to the servo

[@carlandrews3475]

And I'm still waiting for you to post a video of turning the stock servo into a server winch

[@rcilluminati26]

I forgot I wanted to do that. Lol I’ll give it a shot soon, seems pretty easy to figure out.

[@Whyusemyname]

Great review but I can’t understand how the less powerful stock servo out performed both higher rated servos. It just doesn’t make sense. Haven’t finished the video yet so maybe you have an explanation. So far I’m sold on not purchasing either.

[@rcilluminati26]

Servo ratings are rarely accurate or honest. There really are no standards for testing as far as I know. Even the length of the servo horn will change the torque vs speed. Crawler Canyon KZbin channel has a lot of servo tests using a rig he set up and it’s surprising to see the results. There are 35kg Amazon servos that make 50kg and more expensive ones that don’t make what they claim.

[@carlandrews3475]

So what's the highest can I run the stock servo at 8.4 volt with the UBC hobbywing?

[@rcilluminati26]

I only tested the stock briefly at 8.4 so not sure it will hold up. It did great on 7.2v

Hi. Do you feel aluminium steering rod ends are needed also?

[@rcilluminati26]

I’m not a huge fan of them. Aluminum tends to wear out and get sloppy. I’d also rather replace a rod end than have something else break. Buy a rod end kit and keep spares in the toolbox on the truck. I think it’s under $20 for every rod end on the truck.
