Servos in the E7se

[troasb]

I was wondering a bit about what kind of servos to put in my new E7se. I installed the new Align 815/855 servos in my N7 and they are working great, but now I have read on forums that there have been some problems with these, and I cannot get them now either as my shops are out of stock of them.

What servos does Matt and the factory pilots use?
I understand that some servos, like MKS and Torq does not fit in the Synergy without modifications, so I don't want to use them.

I could of course go the safe (and very expensive way) of getting the Futaba BLS275SV and BLS276SV, but are there any other recomandations on quality servos for my E7se. By the way, I think the BLS275SV is not as strong and fast as some opponents, but how much torque and speed does one really need on an E7se?

I have the Torq BL9188 (replaced by the 9288) tail servo and BL9180 (replaced by the 9280) as my cyclic servos and have had no problem with fit on my E7 and I have no complaints. In fact I'm planning to put them on a new 766. They are made by MKS but are a little cheaper, if money was no object I guess I'd put the Futaba HV Heli servos on but that's a little rich for my blood. I have had no problems from mine although I am not a heavy duty 3D flyer, just aspire to be one some day at this point but they fit totally fine and work great.

I see Futaba on Matt's stuff as he is a Team Futaba pilot.

Lots of guys purchasing the BK's too, none yet for me however.

I'm running the BLS272SV on the cyclics and the BLS276SV on the tail and really like them.

Im running BK7001 lots of power and speed and fair priced 100.00 each

MKS X8s all around on one of my E7SEs, Torq on the N7. No "mods" required, just an extra 4 servo hold downs (106-115) under the servo ears to shim out the left and right cyclics so that the backs of the cases don't touch each other. Elevator servo needs nothing and geometry is perfect all around.

Honestly if they are working great why change them?

I use the MKS HBL960HV cyclic & HBL990HV tail servos on my N5C, putting the same on the E7SE I'm currently building... Kinda half way on the MKS price point... I haven't had the need for a mod with them. I still have their old 92A+ & 95i on my little 450. No issues and good quality. I dig'm!

BK7001's will work great. Very reliable servo and at a great price point. That's what I have in my E7 SE.

I have brand new JR DS8717 for cyclic and an MKS HBL980 for the tail... for what they all cost me (about $370), would there have been a better option?
