MG946R Digital Metal Gear Servo Motor – High Torque

The MG946R Digital High Torque Metal Gear Servo Motor is a powerhouse component designed for hobbyists who need strength without breaking the bank. Whether you are building an RC aircraft, a robotic arm, or a custom automobile project, this servo delivers the torque you need to get things moving.

Budget-Friendly Performance

Transparency Note: Please be aware that this is a high-quality generic reproduction, not an original TowerPro servo. While original TowerPro motors are rare and expensive, we have tested these cost-effective units and found them to serve the purpose excellently for general hobby applications. They are “dead cheap” but surprisingly robust. (For critical, high-precision applications, we recommend checking out our EMAX or Orange Servo ranges).

Upgraded Internal Gearing

Unlike standard servos that use heavy copper gears, this MG946R features an upgraded gear set and shaft made from Aluminum 6061-T6. This material is significantly stronger and lighter than copper, providing better durability and response.

Universal Connectivity

The servo comes with a standard JR Servo Plug (compatible with Futaba) and a universal “S” type connector. This ensures it fits most receivers, including Hitec, GWS, Cirrus, Blue Bird, Corona, and Spektrum.

Key Features

• High Torque Digital Control: Provides precise movement and strong holding power.

• Aluminum 6061-T6 Gears: Upgraded gearing is lighter and harder than standard copper.

• Standard Interface: Fits standard receiver pins (JR/Futaba).

• Cost-Effective: An excellent value-for-money alternative for student projects and DIY prototypes.

• Complete Kit: Includes servo arms and mounting screws.

Note

Power Supply: These high-torque servos can draw significant current. It is recommended to power them via an external adapter or BEC, rather than directly from your microcontroller’s 5V pin, to avoid resetting your board.
