Spektrum S6270 low profile HV race servo

Spektrum S6270 low profile HV race servo

Spektrum have introduced their new S6270 low profile HV race surface servo which has been designed for customers who are racing the 22 v2.0 or similar mid-motor mount 1/10 buggies and trucks that require a low profile servo. Because of the mid mount setup, not much space is available for the servo and a low profile servo works best. Being a HV (High Voltage) servo the S6270 can take input voltage from 6V to 8.4V with speed performance ranging from .07 sec. to a lightning fast .05 sec. Add its waterproof case, tight deadband, and coreless motor and robust metal gear train and this servo is hard to beat.
