Overall, the Futaba S3002 is a reliable mini servo that offers a practical balance of torque, speed and compact size for many RC applications.

Is the S3002 suitable for vintage model restorations?

Yes, its compact dimensions and traditional mounting pattern make the Futaba S3002 a good fit for many vintage restorations where modern compact servos are required.

Will it run straight from my receiver pack?

It will operate from standard receiver power, but ensure your battery or BEC can cope with the servo's peak current draw to prevent browning out your receiver.

Can I use stronger arms for higher loads?

You can fit aftermarket arms if they match the output spline precisely; avoid mismatched parts and test under light load first to confirm safe operation.
