GoBilda 300 degree rotation servos

I am using the hi torque version. See photos for size comparison to some of my other sail servos, much smaller but heavy.

At 6 volts here's how they compare torque wise:
Gobuilda - 21.6 kg/cm
Hitec 755 - 13.8 kg/cm
Hitec 815 - 24.7 kg/cm
Futaba 3802 - 14 kg/cm

The Futaba at 14kg has always been enough for my 1 Meter boats, so the gobuilda should be more than adequate .

Please let us know how there work for you. I have been using the Speed version because my loads are so small, but I would use the Torque version in the future for slower speeds. Are you using the Speed version or the Torque version? I would expect the latter to be a better choice for your application.

GoBilda 300 degree rotation servos

Toradog,
Good post, I also have recently discovered these "gobuilda" servos. I was looking for a sail servo for my US1Meter boat and saw these. They have very high torque and are much smaller than my typical Futaba or Hitec sail servos. I can adjust to the 300 degrees with my DX6, no problem.

Have not sailed with yet so time will tell if they last under load.

GoBilda 300 degree rotation servos

For many years I have been attempting to add some action to my models by animating turrets, catapults, radars, ect. The issue that I always ran into was how to achieve 180 + greater degrees of rotation when I needed it. Radars were no issue, but turrets and the like were. I am no electronics wizard and my computer skills run to opening my browser successfully. I have used gear drive and servo in the past, but they were a pain to rig.
Recently I found GoBilda servos. Available in standard or high torque versions, these units can be ordered in two different configurations, 1) as a 300 degree rotation proportional servo, and 2) as a 360 degree rotation servo with proportional speed and directional control. Here in the States they run around $28 US. I found that they can be ordered from third parties or direct from the manufacturer. I have used 8 on my current build and am really happy with how they worked. The shop I ordered them from had hardware that allowed easy direct connection between the unit and the servo. NO gears, ect. Here is a link to the manufacturer's page: https://www.gobilda.com/servos/
No, I do not own stock in the company, sell the servos, or otherwise, I just like that they are available.
One caveat: most radios will require the use of a servo stretcher in order to get the full 300 degree rotation, so that cost should be figured in to the servo cost as well.⚡
