.AJ. Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The new Savox worked really well today, just the right amount of torque and lightning fast And a quick pic of how she stands at the mo Cant be arsed to replace the rear bumper, us racers always land on our wheels Oh and all the body mounts are broken and been bodged lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Do you run a 14T or 15T AJ? Racing at my local track i use a 14t , bashing it depends on the surface, on grass a 14t and anything smoother a 16t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanio Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Hmmm best dig out my 14T or order a new! Would a 15T be to much for bashing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 a 15t will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzabruv105 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 As for the horn not fitting, i never had any problems with the DS1015, but if i remember correct when i had a Savox 1268 it was a real pita to get on or off Just been reading reviews on the servo database and although the ace, futaba and savox all run 25T the ACE spline is slightly thinner. A couple of the reviews stated that although the DS1015 was great, they were put off using the futaba horns as there is give either side, one guy said the give was that bad he didn't trust the futaba horn. Did you have any problems getting the horn off with the Savox 1258 then AJ? Think i will be getting the Savox aswell unless anyone has other suggestions. Is there much difference between the 1256 and the 1258 then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The 1258 is fine, it was a 1268 i had trouble with Personally i think the 1256 is over the top for this truck and a little too slow, the spec's of the 1258 are pretty much perfect imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jony nitro Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 How the temps in the combo and heat?after a final?and how does it run Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone got a link that i can read to understand BEC's and what they do aswell as any reference to how to fit one. Either that or get a new ESC that has a built in BEC capable of handling these two servos. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzabruv105 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Hopefully i am right in thinking that if i went ahead and got a new ESC, the Hobbywing SCT pro would be more than capable of running everything thats needed. Am i right. Think AJ recommended this on his gallery thread but cannot find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzabruv105 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Have a read of this http://www.msuk-foru...107870-bec-faq/ AJ mate, you really are the mutz nutz fella. Your gonna have to either stop pointing me in the right direction or just set up a seperate thread "How to keep pointing that annoying Gazzabruv in the right direction". It could be like a direct helpline to you. Cheers again fella. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 There was only a small turnout, 5 trucks, i won every heat and the final, the Savox is a perfect in every way, im very impressed with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzabruv105 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 There was only a small turnout, 5 trucks, i won every heat and the final, the Savox is a perfect in every way, im very impressed with it Read a buyer's review on the 1258 and it draws a lot of amperage. Would you agree. Can't make my mind up between the 1256 and the 1258. Anyone able to sway my decision either way. Need to make my mind up as want to order my castle link USB and some other bits, so may aswell get the free postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 For the price difference, I'd say 56 - it's virtually as powerful, still ample for your needs and you can save pennies to spend elsewhere.....watching how this progresses with interest as I will be needing a new servo myself soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzabruv105 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 MS are selling them at the same price non. Both are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Ah, didn't know that! Couldn't say on power usage I'm afraid; I have a 56 for use as a brake servo for the BL SC which, when fitted, should provide ample torque for that situation; 7S lipos are unlikely to falter under it's power consumption lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Its nothing to do with the cell count tho, its what amps the BEC in the ESC can supply, Castle are well know to have under performing BEC's..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzabruv105 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I have the castle 10 amp bec on order, so with that in mind, which one should I go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 The faster 1258 makes more sense, there is no need for the 20kg of torque of the 1256 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzabruv105 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Stuff it. Gonna order the 1258 on your recommendation AJ. All your advice has been A1 so far bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
