Robust high-torque servo for large models

The Futaba S5050 is a 1/4 scale digital servo intended for radio-controlled models that require substantial torque for oversized control surfaces or heavy linkages.

This servo is suitable for RC airplanes, 1/5 scale gas cars and power boats where a single high-torque unit can substitute for dual servos on elevators or ailerons. Manufacturer highlights include metal gears, dual ball bearings, a 5-pole motor and dust- and water-resistant construction. The servo is fitted with a Futaba J male connector and is supplied with multiple horn options plus mounting hardware to accommodate typical installations.

Where a single, high-capacity servo is required for elevators, ailerons or heavy control surfaces, the S5050 offers a metal-gear digital alternative complete with mounting hardware and horn options to simplify fitting and trimming in large RC projects.

Which radio systems is the S5050 compatible with?

The S5050 uses a Futaba J male connector and is compatible with receivers that accept this connector type; confirm your receiver wiring and signal standards before connecting.

What connector is fitted and can I extend the lead?

A Futaba J male connector with about 5 inches of wire is supplied. You can use a quality servo extension if more reach is required, taking care to avoid voltage drop across long thin leads under load.

What battery supply is recommended for full torque?

To realise the listed torque figures, use a stable supply at the specified voltages (4.8V or 6.0V) with low internal resistance; consider a BEC or dedicated battery pack capable of delivering sufficient current for high-load conditions.

What screw sizes are provided for mounting?

The kit includes four 2 x 11mm servo mounting screws and a 3 x 8mm servo horn screw to fit the supplied mounting pattern and horns.

Should I lubricate the gears or bearings?

The servo ships ready to use; routine checks are advised and only manufacturer-approved lubricants should be used if gear or bearing service is required to avoid damaging seals or components.
