Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the AS-5 Servo designed for?
The AS-5 is designed specifically for small-scale RWD drifting.
Its control program is specially calibrated around the steering requirements of drift applications, allowing drivers to get started without complicated parameter tuning.
It is designed as an accessible servo option for drivers entering professional 1/24 RWD drifting.
2. Is the AS-5 suitable for beginners?
Yes.
The AS-5 is designed to make it easier for new drivers to enter small-scale RWD drifting.
Its drift-specific control program provides a suitable starting point without requiring complicated parameter adjustments before your first run.
3. Does the AS-5 require programming before use?
No complicated programming is required to get started.
The AS-5 comes with a control program calibrated specifically for drifting, providing a ready-to-use baseline for small-scale RWD applications.
Final steering performance will still depend on your chassis geometry, radio settings and mechanical steering setup.
4. What chassis is the AS-5 compatible with?
The AS-5 is designed primarily for 1/24-scale RWD drift chassis.
It can also be used with other compatible small-scale drift platforms as long as the servo dimensions, mounting space, output shaft, connector and operating voltage are suitable.
5. Is the AS-5 compatible with the AE24X EVO-R?
Yes.
The ARK EDGE AS-5 is the recommended steering servo for the AE24X EVO-R.
Its compact dimensions and drift-specific calibration make it a straightforward electronics option for completing an EVO-R build.
6. Is the AS-5 a full-metal servo?
Yes.
The AS-5 uses metal gears together with an aluminum alloy housing.
The full-metal construction provides a rigid and durable structure designed to handle the steering loads found in small-scale RWD drifting.
7. What motor does the AS-5 use?
The AS-5 uses a coreless motor.
It works together with the metal gear system and drift-specific control program to provide responsive steering performance for small-scale RWD drift applications.
8. What is the operating range of the AS-5?
The AS-5 provides a total operating travel of 90°.
9. What output shaft does the AS-5 use?
The AS-5 uses a 4.9mm diameter / 25T output shaft.
Please make sure your servo horn or steering adapter is compatible with the 25T output specification before installation.
10. What input voltage does the AS-5 support?
The AS-5 supports an operating voltage range of 5V–7.4V.
Always make sure the output voltage from your receiver, ESC or BEC remains within this range before powering the servo.
11. What control signal does the AS-5 use?
The AS-5 uses a standard PWM control signal.
12. What connector does the AS-5 use?
The AS-5 uses a ZH1.5 3P connector.
Please check your receiver or wiring setup before installation and make sure the connection method is compatible.
13. What are the basic specifications of the AS-5?
14. How long is the servo cable?
The AS-5 servo lead is approximately 90mm long.
15. Does the AS-5 have stall protection?
Yes.
The AS-5 includes stall protection to help reduce the risk of servo damage if the steering system becomes blocked or experiences excessive resistance.
Proper steering endpoints and mechanical setup are still recommended to avoid unnecessary stress on the servo and steering system.
16. What is included with the AS-5 Servo?
The AS-5 package includes:
- AS-5 SERVO Full-Metal Servo ×1
- Servo horns
- Mounting screws
