Hi all,
Can anyone tell me the best servos to uses with the clark board T22 for recoil and evolation for my Tiger 1.
Thanks.

I have used couple different ones for recoil (Turnigy micro metal and regular, cheap Tower micro ones, HiTec micro) but if I have a choice and the spacing is available, I would recommend HS-311 servo. I just find it has the most realistic recoil speed when match up with the Tk-22.

Can't comment on elevation as I have never done it myself.

The best servos to use with the Clark board is the Hi Tec HS-81. Relatively low cost, small size and more than enough power to push/pull barrels wether your talking
elevation or recoil. You can buy them almost anywhere as well.
If your in the EU then I would suggest you try to come as close to these specs as possible in an analog servo.
Digital servos seem to be much easier on picking up signals that give you the jitters, nothing worse than a barrel recoil that jumps in and out after you have fired your cannon. I have tried all kinds of things to resolve the jitters and usually a switch to analog and poof gone.

Motor Type: 3 Pole
Bearing Type: None
Speed (4.8V/6.0V): 0.11 / 0.09 sec @ 60 deg
Torque oz./in. (4.8V/6.0V): 36 / 42, Torque kg./cm. (4.8V/6.0V): 2.6 / 3.0
Size in Inches: 1.17 x 0.47 x 1.16, Size in Millimeters: 29.72 x 11.94 x 29.46, Weight ounces: 0.58, Weight grams: 16.44

I really suggest you don't buy the cheap chinese servos, one tap on the end of your barrel and your servo is toast as it strips the gears.

If space is an issue HS-81 would have been my second choice too.

Hi Thanks,
I think I'll try them out found some on ebay at £18.00 inc P&P for two.
Is that a good deal.

Its not bad. They usually retails for about $10-$15 each USD plus shipping.
