J.K Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 James1986 which servos did you put into yours?? Been thinking on upgrading mine ad I think the standard items are a bit pants!!! I've already ditched the standard Tx and Rx!! I went for the Alturn high torque servos, seem to be doing the job rather well and have brought the steering and brakes to life!http://www.modelsport.co.uk/alturn-usa-high-performance-race-servo-high-torque-/rc-car-products/359784 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almighty15 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Should of had 2 of these: http://www.modelsport.co.uk/power-hd-lf20-metal-geared-servo/rc-car-products/388829 Well worth the extra couple of quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm01 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Bugger, well if I knacker my new ones then I take a look at them. Thanks for the replies on these two servos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.K Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Those 20kg Power HD servos would be major overkill in a Firestorm in my opinion - the alturns are more than enough of an improvement over stock. Each to their own I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Gave the Xray a shakedown run, new throttle servo has plenty of stopping power, and the new diff oil set up has made it nice and agile under power with plenty of steering under brakes. Looking forward to this weekend at the track as it's me first race Edited July 8, 2015 by Pistonhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'll be running in my sct410.3 to start with. I've heard mixed reviews about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relativenewbyseb Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Took my firestorm for a drive and a swim at one point :/ That's knackered the steering servo which is the only non waterproof part of the electrics !! It sunk to the bottom quite quickly haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyknight Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Pulled the engine from the x2, straightened the rear shock tower, cleaned everything and ordered loads of bits to make it run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyP Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 New gearbox case and driveshafts fitted to the Firestorm. Bashing it later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Finished off a pack in the Aqroshot, it's a cracking truck. I don't think I need a Firestorm for the foreseeable (but don't tell PK2K). Put a pack through Boudicca, it's kinda odd watching a big heavy Wraith getting air, but fun at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everclear1984 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 How did you manage to paint them and keep the writing on them ? At first I was surprised how visible it still is. I just used one very thin coat of paint. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Repaired the split in two HB shell and bent stub axle, 10 minutes later the shell was back in two pieces and the front bulkhead snapped. To the spare HB box, with haste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 50mph into a wooden fence and all I got was a broken hinge pin and a bent shock stand off. Found it 20ft away. Spares box came to the rescue and all is fixed, save for a slightly bent but usable stand off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
