richie-rich Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 hi all before anyone starts i have used the search bar but i could only find reccomendations for the steering servos. What im after is reccomendations for a throttle and layshaft brake servo and a servo to run some hydraulic disc brakes on. Obviously the cheaper the better but open to all suggestions. Also i need some servo horns for my 2 Bluebird L530MG servos and im also wanting to upgrade my layshaft brake. Could anybody help me source these parts please. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwarfy Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I have a Bluebird 630mg with 15kg torque for throttle / brake on 1 of mine & its been really good for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike1970 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 In my opinion having used these http://www.freeprawnracing.co.uk/savox-sc-1256-standard-size-coreless-digital-servo-sav-sc1256.html I'd say you'd be hard pushed to beat them. I use one for my front brake, one for my throttle & layshaft brake and one of these for my steeing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike1970 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 It's all relative though isn't it, I want to race at a good level so I get what I consider to be the best gear. Racing isn't for everyone just like bashing but you can turn up to both with a basic marder and have fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I ran Savox on teh Baja until I had one die for no apparant reason...no warning...just stopped dead. Typically it was on the first run at a bash too.. Motor in it just died. No burning or obvious failure of the circuit board. Now trying an Alturn instead.
