Still never had one rust up like this. Makes me wonder what the servos in the outlaw look like they have been in 3x longer and used way more in the wet and mud, but touch wood, never had a powerhd servo fail yet, but these etronix 28kg can not handel 6v and being in a crawler, lasted 100 gates. This HV one seems to be the exception were its been just dandy for 3 years even full of rust haha Edited October 19, 2021 by Redback 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst i had was totally rusted bearing or just dead servos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BigGinge Posted October 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2021 Fitted some new shoes that will hopefully be reasonably hard wearing for a bit of tarmac bashing while the weather is crap ( the next six months or so?). They probably have close to 10mm extra offset over the standard wheels which might help the handling a bit, or just rip the hubs apart. Fingers crossed it won’t be that last one. Also had a chance to tidy up the wiring after remembering to buy a new bag of tiny cable ties. The last two bags seem to have disappeared after only using a handful so I expect this will be the last I ever see of this lot.
