shdaxner Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 As we seem to have had an influx of people buying and building the brilliant little PMT I thought it only right for us to start an owners thread for us to show off and share tips and tricks. So lets see your PMT's folks. Ill start with my recent build. Built it with a Hobbywing 4000kv motor, WP-SC8 120A speed controller and a Savox 1272 servo, currently only been run on 2s and can't imagine me changing anytime soon as it just goes so well, currently fitted with a 22t pinion and that is spot on, gives a decent speed and barely gets warm on 2s. Only reservations with it so far is that as AJ pointed out, the servo saver is really weak...makes for a massive turning circle when going at any sort of speed and it needs a wheely bar. Only got one pretty mediocre photo of the truck as of yet, cant stop playing with it to get anymore!! So, does anybody know of an upgrade for the servo saver and which wheely bars will fit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpmart Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I ordered mine before you, just took CML weeks to get it in, so strictly speaking I started it all, just a little more quietly than you.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the alloy steering rack helped with the weak servo saver at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 It's does away with the servo saver all together, wether it's a good idea only time will tell lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shdaxner Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Turning is overrated Not showing yours off? It's does away with the servo saver all together, wether it's a good idea only time will tell lol I don't really want to get rid of the servo saver full stop as I think it would mean the plastic parts taking to much strain when jumping and stuff.....suppose I will just have to put up with it for now eh.

The Dark Knight Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 If the stock steering rack servo saver is causing issues, is there not enough room to run one of the servo itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 If the stock steering rack servo saver is causing issues, is there not enough room to run one of the servo itself? Could do yeah.....don't think they are very strong either though (from the ones I have seen).I think a stronger spring would be the easiest fix....its just finding one to fit.

The Dark Knight Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I run a Kimborough medium servo saver KP201 on all my 1/10 rc's and find them plenty strong enough. Could be a worth a shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushboy2004 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Here's my visitor from Germany. Spec HW SC8WP HW 3656 4000kv with 18t think I need bigger Xpert WR4401 - Copied A.J. - Surpised how much difference there is over cheap servo's Unfortunately my spur gear decided to get chewed up after about 30 seconds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Nice!! I am running a 22t pinny at the moment with the same combo as you and is plenty fast enough on 2s whilst tempts are barely Luke warm. With it having a plastic spur gear you do have to be quite weary of setting the mesh spot on..... I use the paper method as a means of testing the mesh is not to tight. I ran mine again today...... Such a quality little truck although I currently have a couple of issues.... One being in the slipper or gear box area and the other being two of my shocks are losing oil from the bottom cap like there is no tomorrow it is currently half way through being stripped down so I can check the issues and get it cleaned up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 The WR4401 is a beast of a servo, super quick, mega torque and WP all at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Need a spur RB??? Purchased three spare with the pro buggy, just in case one of us PMT owners stripped one The orange paint scheme is just right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Spares ain't great in the UK, think I bought the only 2 spurs in the country, also in my last Amains order I got a few other parts, fingers crossed I'll never need them But if anyone gets stuck I'll help out Edited March 16, 2015 by .AJ.
