I had to have one lol,it’s very nice, works perfectly couldn’t ask for nothing better!
It really does! A must have tool if using Torq servos.
Pretty cool tool!! I like how mynute the adjustment are so you can be precise.
It’s a awesome little tool! A must have!
Thanks!
Thank you! I greatly appreciate it!
Very useful tool if you're running Torq Servos!
Yes it is! Must have if your are using Torq servos!
It works on the SAB servos for the Fireball havok as well.
Good to know, I gotta try it. The SAB fireball servos should be the same as the TORQ CL0508
Wish I had something like that for my glider servos. I have spent days getting the flaps aligned 😆😆
On my airplanes I end up just making each server to its own channel so I can sub trim it but it would be so nice to be able to program the servo that way LOL you can use torq servos on planes!
Got one ordered, great video!
Awesome! A must have with Torq servos! Thanks for watching!
@@westhobbiesrc8051 So what I set my cyclics on 760us, what hz did you set them far in the iKon2?
@@TerryMusick you leave the HZ as you do with 1520. No need to change them just set 760us in the advanced menus.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Thank you, it worked great. I just didn't want to let the magic smoke out of my servos.
@@TerryMusick unfortunately once that smoke is let out, you can’t not put it back lol
Hey just got the torq box. What an amazing product!! Thanks Jeff!!
Do you know off hand if the TORQ BLS2208 can run 760
Hello! Sorry, I just seen your comment! But yes, the 2208 will run 760.
Jeff, few questions:
1) I see this tbox has two ports excluding the power port. Can you connect one to your fbl and one to a servo? What I'd like it do is during the swashplate level step of the Ikon, incorporate this tbox so that you can perfectly level the swashplate without having to use trim adjustments in the ikon. Having to disconnect the servo from the fbl, center it then connect it back doesnt always workout. It seems to move a little once plugged back into the fbl which is why I'm asking if they can both connect to the tbox, then set, then unplug.
2) Do you know any tricks to get your servo horns at 90 degrees when you are building a non SAB kit that doesn't come with those brackets?
The tbox does not work with all servos. I have a set of 4 servos 18 months old that the tbox will not communicate with and another set 6 months old that it will talk to. I have tried two different tbox units with same issue. Torq could not explain.
That’s very strange! I’ve used it on a lot of Torq servos and it works with every one of them.
Where can I find the servo guide?
They are incredible in the SAB kits.
Hi. Thank you very much for the helpful videos. I am about to build my raw580 with exactly same electronics as you have in the build videos. Just a question on frequency. For the cl1208, it says in the box it is using 1520. Will there be no issues if I change it to 760?
Hello! I’m glad the videos are helpful! The RAW 580 is my favorite model! Such a incredible heli! So no there no issues running 760. I’m running the CL1208 on 760 for a little while now. Just make sure you select 760 in your FBL.
This tool looks exactly like That KST programming tool.
are they made by the same company? and can they program each other's servos ?
Torq servos are made by kst. Makes sense they are interchangable.
Are you sure you are not missing a "knob" on the device? that little silver spline does not seem right.
Yes I’m sure there is nothing missing, you look at the link and see that’s how it comes.
well it work with all ty off servos? TORQ Tbox
Like off brand? Like KST?
Is 760 better than 1520 as far as response time? Good tool to have seem well made.
Yes 760 is going to give you a faster response time as well as more precision in the actual movement of the servo. It’s extremely well-made and a fantastic price!
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Nice, I might get one might upgrade the servos on my G420.
@@scrc511 it’s 100% worth having! A must have if your going to have helis with Torq servos!
@@westhobbiesrc8051Ordered mine a while back along with Torq Servos for my 420 Raw Build, been following your 420 Raw build and just got done with the motor assembly. On to the servos next time. Best regards Jeff.
I imagine this only works if the servos are programmable?
Yes, servo has to be programmable.
Can this be used on KST servos (BLS915 v8)?
No it can not be used. I tired it lol
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Thanks for the reply. I though the tool could also be used on KSTs because KST make servos for TORQ.
@@cyclocommuter I thought so as well but it don’t work on the KST servos I have tired. That don’t mean it won’t work on the newer KST servos.
Wow I need this. I have a question which I think this tool will fix my problem.
Setting up a 570 drake using a spirit rs fbl unit. My 2 torq servos on my swash plate (2 ail servos) need a crap ton of sub trim in the fbl to get 90 degrees.
My issue is I can not get equal collective pitch no matter how I set up the mechanical. U can see the servos have more travel one way then the other, 13.2 pos and 12.4 neg . Could this be a result of the amount of sub trim used to get 90*?? And if so this tool should fix that
So yes, a ton of sub trim is going to create a an equal travel. Think about it like this, you have 90° rotation. If you start at 90° you will have an equal up and down. But if you start at 70° you are going to have farther travel one way than the other. Now it is perfectly normal to not get equal positive and negative pitch and have to add travel in the radio menu. But you should always start with a perfectly centered servo without a bunch of sub trim in the FBL. The T box makes that very easy to do!
@@westhobbiesrc8051 awesome thank you so much for the reply. I really appreciate your channel love your videos, have taught me a ton.
I’ll order this tool right now lol, I figured this was my issue, same as if you did this with airplane set up. I’m new to helis so just wanted to make sure.
Thanks again man love the vids, keep them coming
Also would you recommend switching my cyclic servos to 760?
@@katpis9121 thank you very much! I’m glad the videos are useful and he really liked the channel! You don’t need to switch to 760 but I would if your FBL will support 760 for cyclic. I know iKon does but the 6250 don’t and I don’t know about the spirt.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 yes I believe I can with my spirit. I will double check. So far been impressed with the spirit software with my jeti ds12 radio.
Does the 760us give better centering than 1520? Better resolution?
It gives better resolution and servo response so yes it will have better centering.
not the first agian....
Slacking! LOL
The Torq BLS2208's will not work at 760. The BLS0704T's are set at 760 by default. I set all of my BLS2208's at 760 on a new 480 build and got nothing. Once I set them back to 1520, they all came alive.
Yes they will, running three sets at 760. You have to set 760 in the FBL.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Ahh ok...Let me try that.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Where in the FBL do you set that?
@@ricksweeney9225 if it’s a iKon it’s in the advance menu
@@westhobbiesrc8051 I am using the Spectrum 6250
