Our Review
The 3.7g Macro Mini Servo Plastic Gear Servo Motor for RC Airplane Fixed Wing Gliders Drones LA0023 delivers solid performance for its category. With Torque: 35 kg-cm, Operating Voltage: 4.8V - 6.8V, Speed: 0.14 sec/60°, it covers the essentials that most makers and engineers need for their projects.
Mechanical performance was consistent in our testing. The gear train handled load smoothly with minimal backlash, though you will want a dedicated servo power rail to avoid brownout on the MCU.
Wiring was straightforward. Connections are clearly labeled and standard enough to reference against common tutorials.
The 3.7g Macro Mini Servo Plastic Gear Servo Motor for RC Airplane Fixed Wing Gliders Drones LA0023 earns its place in the parts bin. Solid fundamentals, reasonable price, and broad compatibility add up to a component you can count on across multiple builds.
What We Like
- Metal gear train handles high-torque loads without stripping
- Quick response time for real-time control applications
- Standard servo horn and mounting hardware included
- Wide operating voltage range supports various power sources
Watch Out For
- Internal potentiometer wears over thousands of cycles
- Jitter at rest if PWM signal has noise
- Limited rotation range without continuous-rotation modification
