Tug Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 You really want to look at the Savox 1230 (36kg) or the Hitec 7980 (38kg on 6v, even more on 7.4!) All these high power servos should really be run via a uBEC, the inbuilt BECs are rarely up to the job. Another option is the Alza 1/5 servo mount. This allows the use of largescale servos, but means you've got to remove the Rx box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrfabulous Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Savox 1230 bought and fitted turning is better but I expected more angle I think the steering needs adjusting but I have no idea what I can do to maximise the turning circle.

Mrfabulous Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Truck runs like the Wind on 6S 1800 Hobbywing great turn of speed for such a big truck, tempos are good, not aiming to blast this at full tilt everywhere just enjoying it. I'll do that to my FLM Emaxx lol... Just need to make the steering more precise at the moment it feels like the turning circle of the Queen Mary lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Are your end points at 100%? You might need to get an ally servo horn which is slightly longer than stock. Good news about the combo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 And check that the servo saver is tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrfabulous Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 All done and futabab 3GR is a doddle to set end points etc, now I'm thinking with a new body on it the wheels look terrible. I read in the posts not to bang on the baja heavy wheels but I'd like to change mine, any recommendations on wheels and size all the baja ones seem to be big wides on the rear and skinny buggy wheels on the front, I'm looking for that all round SC wheel.

Noj Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 You could try Baja 5sc wheels (slightly wider rears than fronts) or 5t wheels (sc front width all round), knowing that they are heavy (before being taped) and may put undue stress on the stub axles. If fitting 5sc rears, you'll need to add some camber to clear the stock arches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
