Digital Servo/Computer Radio - 01-07-2007, 01:54 PM

Is is mandatory that you use a Computer Radio (ie; M11, Nomadio Sensor, ect) if you run a digital servo, to keep the servo from frying or tearing up. (I have been reading some other stuff out there.) I don't know anything about them other than they are fast, and heavy-duty. Will the Spektrum DX 2.0 work just fine running a digital servo, as far as all the neccessary adjustments are concerned? Any info on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

You should be fine. Digital servos will drain a little more power, but have better holding power. I ran a digita steering servo with a JR XR2 and never had a problem.

On the topic of digital servos, how much more power do they drain compared to analog and what is the overall advantage, if any, running digital servos?

I didn't notice any big difference. I was using a cheap rx pack (stock revo one) and it was still fine for a race day. I would charge it before the mains just to be sure though. It was a JR servo and it held VERY well.... now I haven't noticed any ill effects of running an analog servo now though.
