Overview
The Futaba HPS-CD701 is a premium brushless low-profile servo engineered specifically for competitive 1/10 scale RC drift cars. Featuring advanced S.Bus2 protocol compatibility and UR/SR mode support, this servo delivers lightning-fast 0.045 sec/60° response times with exceptional 17.0 kgf·cm torque at 7.4V for razor-sharp steering precision during drift transitions and counter-steer maneuvers.
Built with Futaba's high-performance HPS brushless motor technology, the CD701 combines incredible power efficiency with extended service life. The full aluminum case construction provides superior heat dissipation and chassis-mounting rigidity, while the metal gear train ensures long-lasting durability under the demanding conditions of competitive drift racing.
