Once up to speed, it also continues to turn for a while when the voltage is removed — it is slow to decelerate or reverse direction again due to higher inertial mass. This is also quite hard on the brushes and commutator.
In a Coreless design, the heavy steel core is eliminated by using a light weight wire mesh that spins around the outside of the magnets within the body of the motor. The wire mesh rotating armature is simply made from thin copper wire strands along with the motor shaft and commutator on the back end.
The coreless motor armature weighs a fraction of what a wire core wound does. This results in quicker acceleration and deceleration. The result is more available torque, and faster response time. I personally feel coreless motors offer the best servo performance - even over brushless at least from the stand point of fastest acceleration and least amount of deadband. Exactly what a servo demands out of its motor. My own view point is the "average" heli flier is going to be best served bang for the buck performance wise with good quality digital coreless servos while also saving a few bucks in the process.
If you are wanting the best efficiency, smoothness, and lifespan; ante up the coin and go for brushless. I've been very happy so far with that compromise. One other consideration is the tail servo.
You will therefore often see people using brushless tail servos, along with conventional brushed or coreless servos on the swashplate as a budget driven compromise.
I have also done this with excellent results. True, most modern day RC radios have channel reversing and that's the obvious way to reverse the travel direction of an RC servo. However, some very basic radios don't. Moreover, you will sometimes find the need to control more than one servo from the same channel; retracts or ailerons come to mind. There are commercially available servo reversers also called servo inverters , that you plug "in-line" with the servo to reverse it.
See below:. You can also reverse many RC servos yourself for free, very easily by swapping the motor wires and potentiometer wires from side to side. The video I made below shows the process. You will notice when servo shopping, many specifications list if the servo has bearings and the number of bearings — usually 1 or 2.
These bearings are used on the main servo output shaft instead of a simple bushing. The advantages of having ball bearings on the output shaft in a servo are pretty much the same as I talked about in the Bearing Section of best RC helicopter features — less friction and slop. Most quality RC servos, even lower cost ones these days will come with at least one bearing — this will be located on the servo output shaft where it exits the servo, this is where most of the side loads will occur.
Better more expensive servos will use two bearings to further improve overall slop free performance. With today's high torque and speedy digital servos, combined with high force load RC model applications, metal gears and output shafts are getting more and more common place. They are a popular choice for several reasons, but improved strength is the obvious one. There are three downsides to metal gears however. They weight a little more than plastic or nylon gears, they wear out a little faster, and they are more expensive to replace.
Yes, most servos have replaceable gear sets so you can easily replace the gears, but some metal gear sets are approaching half the cost of just getting a new servo. The best metal gear servo's on the market these days are using titanium or various exotic titanium alloy gear sets and this drops the weight down and improves gear wear characteristics substantially, while increasing the cost as well.
All that said, don't think for a second that by using metal geared servos, you will never strip out a gear set. I've actually been stripping out more metal gear sets lately than I ever did with plastic! This is not due to the servos however, it's because our RC helicopters have changed so much. Most are flybarless so any blade impact energy is no longer partially absorbed through the mixing of the flybar.
Many are also DFC , so again, more direct force is transmitted. Following the "direct" trend, most helis now have direct servo to swashplate linkage attachment, instead of using bell crank linkage arrangements which provided a fair amount of "mechanical fuse" protection.
Add all these factors together and servos are now exposed to much higher transmit forces from even a mild blade strike than ever before. Yep, the exact same reasons manufacturers are designing all these direct linkage layouts work both ways. Your servos will transmit more force and power direct to the rotor blades; but the rotor blades will also transmit their impact forces direct back into the servos with none of the "impact filters" we used to have. Seeing that I just mentioned "servo grommets", I may as well touch on them since I get the occasional question of why, when, and how to use them.
As I just explained, today's trend, especially with electric powered helicopters, is to rigid bolt the servo direct, and not use grommets at all. I simply don't need all that "rigid" connectivity for my flying style, and would rather give my servos a little extra dampening protection. Grommets just cushion the servo a little bit to help absorb some vibration energy from getting into the servo, and perhaps a wee bit of impact energy as well. They are almost always used on fuel powered helicopters due to the higher vibration environments.
Square are the most common, but both types have the same purpose and are installed onto the servo the same way. You simply slide them into the mounting holes through the slot on the holes.
You also need to fit the brass eyelet into the rubber grommets so the mounting screw or bolt can't tear the rubber or tear the grommet right out of the servo mounting hole. Some servo mounting grommets are thicker on one side than the other. This ensures the sharp edge of the other side of the eyelet doesn't get pressed into the servo mounting hole, soft plywood or plastic, which would crush the grommet and diminish the vibration dampening qualities to an extent.
On electric powered helicopters , I generally compress the grommets a moderate amount. On fuel powered where I want more dampening, just snug enough to keep the servos tight. All RC servos other than linear types have a "splined" output shaft.
The primary reason for this is so the servo arm or wheel can't slip out of position under the large torque loads it's exposed to. We offer cyclic and tail servos ranging in mid to ultra torque.

Connector Type. However, it is optional for the three servo swashplates as there is no chance for binding. It will most likely always be required for four servo swashplates because of the potential for binding in a four point attachment. Prior to beginning the swashplate set up, be sure that your helicopter control linkages are set up in accordance with the assembly instructions.
In order to make accurate blade pitch measurements, make the rotor shaft perpendicular to the ground by using shims underneath the landing gear as shown in the picture below. This includes the tail rotor servo and the throttle servo due to throttle curve settings.
The diagrams shown label the servo attach positions as Servo 1, Servo 2 and Servo 3 for the three servo swashplate types. These also correspond to the default output functions for servo outputs 1 thru 3 on the autopilot for the servos used with these swashplate types. For single heli, the servo function assigned to Servo 1 is motor 33, Servo 2 is motor 34, and Servo 3 is motor These assignments are the same for swashplate 1 for a dual heli frame. Swashplate 2 for a dual heli defaults to servo outputs 4, 5, and 6 with motors 36, 37 and 38 assigned respectively.
For four servo swashplates, the fourth servo Servo 5 on the single heli frame defaults to servo output 5 and is assigned motor With the help of the precise sensor, a very high positioning accuracy is reached. The 1st servo has been successfully tested by various team pilots and is ideal for helicopters from to size.
