ok i got a this flysky 9x the is giving me some problems. i dosen't seem to let the servo's go full throw left or right. i the hydraulic set i got is really big on the throw of the servo's. so i wan to use my futaba t6j raido but its a 6 channel no the 8 that the flysky is. but heres the thing i need a channel the will run the pump and mix it. the mangon set NEEDS to have the mixed it dosen't like to run all the time. i ate one of the pump gears already doing that. so how would yo set this up?

i did it was a spektrum digital programable sevo and it works fro one freakin day . i have had this excavator for about three weeks and allready gone through 6 servos, is it the the end point thats killing them or 6v instead of 4v? i don't know but i can afford to be buying servos every week end !!

a spektrum servo u say. yep had a few of those blow up.

yes spektrum servos generally hate 6v (as do all others not rated for it). but they are still one of the few makers (its actually horizon hobby brand made by JR) whose digitals cannot take 6v. its annoying because my dx7/9 came with 6 each and they are basically a waste

i now use mostly hitec and the odd futaba

ya the problem is my turn table is runnig off a big 1/4 sclae servo and i will only run on 6v.
i really thinking of gutting the 1/4 scale servo and running it off a esc. but its a bruder convert and with the pump valves batttery bec and rx there is not much room.

wonder if there is a way to run the servo off 6v and the others off the safer 4v ?

this will work scroll down on the link to view the wiring setup, just get 3 of them and put them between the servos and receiver.
