The KST DS215MG V8.0 Digital Metal Gear Micro Servo is a fast HV micro servo for RC gliders, helicopter cyclic/tail use, and compact aircraft control installations. KST positions it as a metal-cased high-voltage servo designed for direct 2S LiPo or 2S LiFe-style use within the listed voltage range. Verified KST data lists a DC 6.0V-8.4V voltage range, up to 4.0Kgf.cm torque at 8.4V, and 0.050sec/60deg speed at 8.4V. The servo uses a coreless DC motor, hardened steel gears, aluminum alloy case, 2BB support, and potentiometer feedback. At 23 x 12 x 27.5mm and about 20g, the DS215MG V8.0 is a compact choice when speed matters and the system voltage is properly matched to HV operation.

DS215MG V8.0 is faster and uses a higher voltage range starting at DC 6.0V, with up to 4.0Kgf.cm at 8.4V. DS113MG V6.0 is a smaller lower-output micro servo. Does OpenELAB list multiple Shopify variants for this product? No. The current Shopify product is a single variant with SKU KST-DS215MG-V80. Can it be used on a 5V supply? The listed voltage range is DC 6.0V-8.4V, so do not design the system around a 5V supply unless KST or your integrator confirms a safe configuration. What is the maximum listed torque? The technical data lists up to 4.0Kgf.cm at 8.4V. What is the fastest listed speed? The fastest listed speed is 0.050sec/60deg at 8.4V. What is included in the package? The package includes one DS215MG V8.0 servo, one servo horn screw, four mounting screws, and five plastic servo horns. What spline does it use? The technical specification lists a 25T, 5mm output shaft spline. What should I check before installation? Confirm the 23 x 12 x 27.5mm body, 25T 5mm spline, DC 6.0V-8.4V range, travel, and servo arm clearance.
