andyknight Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 i'm looking at servo's and I was wondering whether the 18kg torque at 6v is enough. Is it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyknight Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Makes you wonder why KM put 35kg steering servo in. I take it they are not 35kg or 35kg but made of cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 It's a standard sized servo so guess it's being used on throttle/brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover Man Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 A great servo but massive over kill for throttle and brake duty. Need power more than speed to work the brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I've been toying with the idea of using the 7950 out of my Wraith for brake duties in the DBXL, 35kg at 7.4v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover Man Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 That will stop you pronto lol probs pull the stop collars off the rods lol EDIT........... just to add 96kg of awsomness lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyknight Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Ok, made a mistake, thought it was being used for steering lol. So my question still stands, what kg rating do you actually need for a steering servo? Edited March 3, 2015 by andyknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover Man Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Ok, made a mistake, thought it was being used for steering lol. So my question still stands, what kg rating do you actually need for a steering servo? Bigger the better But its finding the balance between power and speed. You cant have both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Ideally you want at least 12/13kg. I've always found that to be fine in my personal bashing areas, but I'm in big open spaces were I don't need to stop on a penny. Although my brakes work great with stock servos, because they're set up right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyknight Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I've been put off Savox by the number of failures I have read about of the 236 model so I was trying to find a Hitec that would take the place of my standard KM steering servo. The only one I've come up with so far is the 5765MH. Is that any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I've just stuck a 5765 in my DBXL and it turns the wheels lock to lock on carpet with no issues, so the rating of 25kg a bit of a under estimation to me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyknight Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks AJ, that's good to hear! I think that will be what I will go with then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyknight Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hahahaha yeah I've spent a bucket load of cash on bits and pieces for this car this last month. That's probably a stretch too far......maybe. Thats the steering servo I'll be gettin next my current ones on it last legs.. The hitec or the rhino?

mark35 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I did mean the hitec but lookin at th rhino...tis nice..lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 My plan is get a Rhino at some point and stick the Hitec on the Throttle/Brakes, my mate who races at National level really rates them, but he runs a stupidly expensive Hitec 1000 on steering and the Rhino on brakes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyknight Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) OK, I reckon I am going to run a HS-5765MH for steering and a HS-7954SH for throttle/brake. Thoughts? Edited March 4, 2015 by andyknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatout! Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Iv not seen or tryed the 7954, but this 8370 iv got in mine is just wicked mate, fast servo is a under statement on the 8370 hv 0, the guy at the servo shop, Steve Webb was telling me all I need to know about this and other servos, the digital servo has a signel all the time, hence why it's so fast, and the standed servos have to search for a signel hence why there's such a delay, so its going to be digital all the way for me t/b and steering to, im also going to get the uberr rc 5000 battery aswell, should be a wicked package by the end of the week how much is the 7954?

andyknight Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I've got the 4800 hump battery already. The 7954 is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
