How to REVERSE a Servo.

Here is how I reverse my servos, when I need one, that cannot be reversed with the TX. It works on most servos, but with the smaller ones, I find it easier to "cut and splice" the wires to the potentiometer.
Do not attempt this if you are not confident in your soldering abilities, as it is necessary no wire comes undone in flight.
Thanks for watching.

of course for special applications as suggested in the text lead in on the video (two servos on the same channel) fire up the soldering iron and get to hacking :)

Right.

[DelSolSea]

OR just purchase a modern transmitter with servo reversing option and set it in the configuration! Besides you enjoy the newer Spektrum technology and all the features it has to offer...

I have all the hi tech radios and have had servo reversing for years. But in certain applications, like this one, I needed a reversed servo.

If 2 servos are on the same channel, reversing them at the TX reverses BOTH servos, not just one. Understand?

very cool clip ... :)

Thanks kindly.

Thanks Dave, just followed your video and successfully reversed my first servo, handy to know. this.Was a 9g servo and a bit harder becasue of the small soldering points and the eyes arent as good as they used to be. :)

i can hear your heart beating

when I reversed the servo.. when I move the stick anyway they always move symmetrical, I need the servos to go opposite directions when doing a turn.. why isn't this doing that?

I could hear your heart beat :)

Dude you rock!!! I needed to do this for a used EDF jet I just got from a friend. It was missing the two eleveter servos so when I put a couple in one was moving the wrong way. Thank you for having this video.

thanks for the nice tutorial video, works nice, just change one of my towerpro servos, thanks for sharing :)

hey nightflyyer I have a Giant Big Stik which I made taildragger I installed a servo only for tail wheel assembly. I have a Y-harness installed for rudder and tail wheel servo but I am having the same problem with direction will this reverse servo video work for me...

i did this with a losi micro rock crawler servo which has the same things and its just buzzes when i plug it into my car. please help!!!

[vettster1]

Is it the same for a Digital Servo?

Great vid,

Thanks

Opened my DS821. No can do.
