Bane Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 for my Maverick Blackout V2. The last time I ran the truck was 1 whole year ago and I was experiencing issues with the wheels not turning well or not at all. I posted this somewhere and people recommended I switched to using a LiPo to power the servos instead to give them more power. Now as far as I'm aware my 2 steering servos which are Hitec 5765's can handle a 7.4v LiPo. My throttle servo which is a Savox 1256TG cannot however and nor can my transmitter which is the FlySky FS-GT3B. How do I get around this problem and if it's doable what is a recommend LiPo to use? Note I currently zip tie my battery just behind the front suspension as there's next to no room left in the battery box of the truck. Thank you.

almighty15 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Just get 2 decent servo's and use a Nihm at 6v.... You'll NEVER get a good turning circle for the Maverick due to the tires, servo's will give you a faster turning speed but they won't change the turning circle much.

andyknight Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) I'm running a flysky gt3b rx on Lipo lol. Works for me. I should add the transmitter is also on Lipo and whatever you do is at your own risk! Edited June 17, 2015 by andyknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper-d Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Etronix do a 6v lipo regulator to save the rx but kinda defeats the point of lipo lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bane Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Anyone know if it can be done? Would sure love to add a total of 10kg of torque to my steering servos using a LiPo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper-d Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'm going lipo on my brushless blackout very soon,which should give me a total of 80kg of turning power. Will also be using a flysky rx so will see if it holds up to lipo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyknight Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 They hold up fine for me. I ordered a spare rx for the costly sum of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
