HSR-5498SG servo

[NewBreedWarrior]

Has any one found a dealer that sales the HSR-5498SG ? I emailed hitec about 2 days ago wondering when they will be in stock and how does someone from America get them..

At the moment those servos are not avaliable, but they should be within the next few months.

I do have good news though; the HSR-5990TG servos are avaliable now. We just recieved the first shippment recently and are in the process of shipping them to our distributors. Unlike the HSR-5995 servos, these are fully HMI compatible.

The problem for us Robonova owners is that they only come in a standard RC package (case). This means to use them you'll have to design and make new brackets or use the Lynxmotion's SES brackets.

I'll have to try converting one of my 5995's to see if the gearshafts line back up after changing case top and bottom. I hope so, Hitec probably wouldn't warranty that kind of abuse. I TRIED CHANGING THE CASES ON A 5995, THE RN SRRVO CASES ARE BUSHED DIFFERENTLY THE 5995'S CASE TOPS ARE TALLER AND HAVE BRASS BUSHINGS! So you can't do that

Wow, I want to thank Tohm, Quasi, and engineer this is some good info, now since I have to wait FOREVER.......I am stuck between the choice of the 5990TG's or HSR-5980SG's so I have done the comparison only diff is that the 5990's offer Titanium and the 5980's are Steel.......Because the heat sink is removed and replaced with SG on the 5980's is the only diff to the 5990TG's correct? going with this notion would the 5980SG's work great for a hip rotation, I allready have about 6 SES brackets.

That's right, the gears and case are the only difference (besides the price). I don't have an exact ETA on the 5980 servos yet, but once they arrive, I'll let everyone know.
