Dual servo

[Defender Josh]

So went racing today and definately need dual servo setup on my 5ive, if I go for the ds dual servo what else will I need? Lipo batteries?

[sean-vrs]

Lipo is fine for the savox but i think the dual setup is for the hitecs and they dont like the extra voltage pm richarddenton he likes to experiment and i think he is currently running dual servos with a large nimih

[Kwackerman]

Got twin hitecs on my steering and a single on my throttle/brake running the killer RC lipo pack, no problems at all.

The DS dual mount takes hitec, rhino and one other brand iirc, savoxs are too big.....

[Defender Josh]

Have you bought the ds mount Noj??

[mooman007uk]

a lot of guys over here are fabbing simple dual set ups for pennies

Give me a week or so, I'm getting some dual servo mounts produced on a multi axis waterjet. Should have a few going spare

Not 100% sure yet, but can't see them being any more than

[Defender Josh]

Pm me ASAP when you get them

Pm me ASAP when you get them

Will do, I'll need to check fitment etc and will post piccies when I get the first one installed. They are based around the stock servo size, but will accept adapters for hitec etc. I plan to use hitec 5765's

[Defender Josh]

Cool I only want to run standard size anyhow

[rctruckz]

seems odd that some 5 owners are going the dual servo route, is there really any need? I have an FG MB Pro which is full alloy & also using the bigfoot monster rims/tires, im pretty sure the weight of my FG will be heavier than most stock 5's & also the wheels on my FG will be heavier too, im using a single mpex rhino digi 4 & it turns on a dime even when static, i know a few years back going dual was pretty much a must as most servos on the market didnt have the toque to manage the job solo so people went dual setup. But nowadays theres more than enough torque in single servos providing you get a decent one to do the job on its own, alslo 50% less drain on ya battery using single setup

[Jolly_roger_uk]

Look what arrived today

They accept stock size servo plus Savox etc, and will accept the Dark soul meaty mounts if you want to run Hitec's.

Made from 4mm aluminium, and precision cut on a multi axis waterjet.

I have a few extra if anyone wants one. All you'll need to sort are the servo linkages (I'm using Baja steering turnbuckles with an M3 ball insert), servo arms and a few nuts and bolts.

I will be moving my receiver to the battery box, but there is room on the plate to mount a receiver box or if your racing a transponder would fit nicely.

Drop me a PM if you want one.

[Jolly_roger_uk]

If anyone wants one, I now have a few more of these available ^^^^^^

Cheers
