Notes
- The discontinued Blue Arrow S09012MG is the tough, resilient evolution of the classic 9-gram servo, incorporating a rugged, all-metal gear (MG) train into the familiar sub-micro package. This analog servo is specifically designed for applications that punish gear sets and where the failure of a standard plastic-geared servo is a real possibility. This makes it the servo of choice for the demanding cyclic controls on 450-class helicopters, where the gears are subjected to constant vibration and high loads. It is also ideal for aggressive 3D park flyers that undergo violent tumbles and snaps, and for the steering systems on small RC cars and trucks that have to endure the shocks of off-road driving and impacts with obstacles.
- Its primary and most important benefit is its vastly superior resistance to stripping. The metal gears provide a level of durability that plastic gears simply cannot match, leading to a much longer operational life in high-stress or high-impact environments. This not only prevents the cost and frustration of frequent servo replacements but, more critically, it can prevent an in-flight failure that could destroy the entire model. The result is a servo that pilots can trust in the most abusive conditions.
- This inherent resilience makes the S09012MG a top choice for a wide range of robotics projects. It is especially well-suited for educational bots used in classrooms, which are often subjected to rough handling. It is also a favorite among builders of small-scale combat robots, where it can be used for drive wheels or weapon systems that need to survive the brutal impacts of the arena. Any project where the actuator is expected to endure rough handling or unexpected shocks will benefit from the robust, metal-geared construction of the S09012MG.
