regridesout Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 great looking buggies bud, I'm just fitting the electrics to my carisma gtb, I bought the align servo for mine but this requires some mods to the servo itself and to the holder, how does the savox fit do you need any mods on that ? cheers.

Toon Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 great looking buggies bud, I'm just fitting the electrics to my carisma gtb, I bought the align servo for mine but this requires some mods to the servo itself and to the holder, how does the savox fit do you need any mods on that ? cheers. The Savox servo doesn't fit the standard servo mount I'm afraid, as it's too large. I was originally just holding it down with strong double-sided tape, but I am now using alloy mounts, however the chassis does require an extra hole to be drilled. ----------------------- I actually no longer have the LC Racing EMB-1 buggy as it was sold to another micro racer at my local club, but I still have the GTB. It's gone through quite a few changes since the last post though. It is now also equipped with: Carisma 5700kv motor + alloy heatsink RW Racing heavy duty 66T spur Exotek alloy servo mounts DIME RC alloy chassis DMS Racing carbon top deck and front brace Thumbs Designs carbon shock towers and brass weight kit RPM rod ends Carisma alloy wheel hex's I have also got a Phat bodies 'Optimus' body and 'Gurt' wing, painted by a friend. I am only using this for the micro nationals at the moment though, it's too nice to get bashed about at club races! Nationals are very competitive, but I am doing OK so far: Round 1 - Silverstone - 55th out of 77 Round 2 - Hereford - 45th out of 85 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhx Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Did you ever find a servo that fit in your EMB1 without any moding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 What do you recon is the max size can motor could be fitted in the GTB without any issues, I have seen a motor I want to try in my emb and if it works out I would like to get a GTB and use the lc racing motor in that. Cheers Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Did you ever find a servo that fit in your EMB1 without any moding?I used the Savox servo in the EMB for a while, but that was held just using one plastic mount and double-sided tape. Then when I got the GTB I put the Savox servo in that, and put the kit servo back in the EMB, so I never got round to trying any other servos in the EMB before I sold the car. What do you recon is the max size can motor could be fitted in the GTB without any issues, I have seen a motor I want to try in my emb and if it works out I would like to get a GTB and use the lc racing motor in that. Cheers SiMotor diameter or length? The Carisma/Losi motors are 24mm diameter. The LC Racing motor is 28mm diamater, and it will physically fit, but the mounting holes are all for 3mm screws, and the holes in the GTB motor mount are for 2.6mm screws. Also, the LCR motors' mounting holes are too far apart and won't line up with the slots in the GTB motor mount, as I tried it for fit when I still had both cars. Maybe you could modify the motor mount for larger screws/spacing, but I don't have any need to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Thanks for that, I have a couple of spare motors that would fit I just thought of the lc being a great motor in the emb it might be a good alternative to the stock 24mm can motors, I might buy a GTB to go along with the m8 and emb I have already.

silone74 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I think I might choose this motor when I do eventually get the GTB, I do like the 4 poles and although it cost's more than the carisma range I think it will be worth it. http://www.smartteknik.se/uk/brushless-motors/motor-lbp2435-5800kv-4-polig.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
