Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Water Models / July 2004Hitec sheeting servo discontinued!
Can somebody please help? We have been using the HS-725BB sheeting servo for our model sail cars and have just been told by our distributor that Hitec is no longer making them. We were told the 755 would take it's place, but the specs just don't seem to add up. What do you folks use for sheeting servos? Your advice will be most welcome! Wayne waynelundatattdotnet Thank you! Wayne the 755 is quoted as a replacement for a 700BB not a 725? the 755 is a 1/4 scale size aircraft servo not a sheet servo and checking the website its not in the discontinued list at all and still on the current servo list is somebody winding you up???

Since then, chatting with Hitec, have learned that the HS-785-HB is replacing the 725 - which is what A.T. has said. Thank you both for your valuable input and insight. The problem now is that nobody seems to have any HS-785-HBs in stock! - Hitec claim to have them, but can't find a distributor or dealer. I know... be patient!
