[Marty McFly]

Does anyone knows whether Act M5213H servo have a Hall Sensor or conventional potentiometer? Also how does overAmp feature work on XAct M5253H servo with TD SR6 or SR10 receivers? Does it happening through special port or through regular Servo wire on each channel?

correct , the difference is implicit in the ACT vs. XACT product lines,

XACT servos

Yep, the ACT are pretty much normal servos, they do not have the added telemetry features, but they do offer a better price point. Quality is still excellent.

Will the ACT MS5213H servos be back in stock soon? Or are they discontinued?

 

[Wayne]

The ACT M5213H is active as far as I know. We did get the last of the inventory from FrSky back in mid-August and have been waiting for them to restock since then.

As a side note, told we will be getting the new 10mm wing servos around the end of the month. (They killed off the old 10mm and didn't have the replacement ready till now.)

Thank you Wayne!

Thank you Wayne!

Damn, what are the chances for great McDDD to stop by my thread!? Do you still fly profiles? I'd love to see what you can do with those ACT MS5213H!!! It seems like the whole world moved to EDFs, and everyone forgot about 3D flying... Even Wild Fred back to CONUS, but flipping houses, instead of airplanes... unfortunately. Do you got any new videos of your flying? I'm bet I'm not the only one who'd love to see you fly.

Thank you!

 

[davemcddd]

Well, not so sure about the "great" part, but yes I'm still flying 3D profiles.....and other stuff.
Here's my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@davemcddd/videos
The ACT MS5213H servos are intended to convert my old Wild Tiger to electric power to hopefully save some weight compared to the heavier glow power setup it now has.

 

[Marty McFly]

Oh, I've been subscriber to your channel for many years, but I've been out of hobby for sometimes... and love your videos of Chinn Yak, Katana and Sabre, and would not mind to see some more...

Thank you!

-- BTW, Dave brought a good point... when do you expect next inventory of servos into stock?

Thank you!
