Only 21kg, and annoyingly noisy, but reliable. So it wasn’t a problem with the Servo itself, just the servo saver? Only asking as I was considering buying that same servo to replace the burnt out one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it wasn’t a problem with the Servo itself, just the servo saver? Only asking as I was considering buying that same servo to replace the burnt out one. no idea bud, my kronos stripped the gears on a servo while cartwheeling about at high speed with its massive tyres, if my servo saver wasnt too tight the servo wouldnt of stripped the gears and done its job, i honestly have no idea about your model and servo bud 😞 i was doing this when i broke the servo lol when i first got the kronos i was running it out side my house on grass and knackered its original servo with a cartwheel, corally replaced it hassle free but i didnt want to wait and their replacement servo is in my hobao dc1 crawler, i slackened off the servo saver in the kronos a lot but it wasnt enough, the savox is handling it after more slacking off lol my first cartwheel on a nitro hyper 7 black broke a servo too, still running a spectrum one on my hyper 7 that i replaced original one with and still running it after converting it to leccy 🙂 Edited June 8, 2022 by Yrkoon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted June 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2022 So finished work early and wanted to give the UDR its maiden run and see if the ear plugged diff had tamed the Sledge….. However, I accidently charged big 3S lipos which didnt fit the Sledge or the UDR, so the E Revo had to come out and I had to share the UDR/Sledge run….. Sledge is still carnage, but better. E Revo 2.0 is amazing! Not sure how I didnt gel with it last time? UDR is hard to drive and I broke it. However. Its works exactly as described so think I got a bargain! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
