what does GWS mean?

coolwings · 22-01-2006 6:41pm

Cheap

(GWS = Grand Wing Servo)
also sold as Tec, Supertec, Topaz and a million other names

Not for my models. I already learned the hard way with them.
May be for indoor use, but I wouldnt.

The radio link with my models is not to be messed about with. I tried cost cutting in the past, and found it doesn't pay if the models are good.

OK,
Now for the GWS,,,,, :rolleyes:
It is a GWS failsafe i have in my revo and T-maxx :eek:

Their failsafes (and gyros) work fine. I've used quite a few. Not a problem.
Their servos are below the standard of several other makes . Not up to the stress and workload I give my servos in my models.
The receivers .... I'm not sure ... I have heard mixed reports, some good, some not so good. I would not recommend that they be used in a model that could be capable of serious injury. Don't want to overdo it here ... but I think it's fair to say the servos & receivers are budget gear, and belong in budget models.

2 personal experiences...I plugged a GWS servo (top of range hi torque BB MG) into an IR£80 receiver and a short in the servo burned the receiver out....a personal friend flying an aerobatic plane (with Tec / Supertec) had a crash due to servo failure - when he complained to his supplier (not me) he was told "what do you expect for that price?"

haha that just mean from the supplier
would these be any good in a leccie car?

Now (for servos) I use Hitec and JR as my personal preference.
