scoobied77 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) Fitted this bad boy tonight to replace my broken bluebird servo. Not had a proper run with it yet, just a quick test in the garden. First impressions it seems just as powerful as the bluebird, speed wise just a gnats cock slower. Fingers crossed this will be more reliable. The bluebird ran so hot which seemed to be the death of it (common problem with them). Edited July 17, 2017 by scoobied77 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobied77 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Gave the 2085X servo a good run tonight. Well impressed with it. I think it's much more suited with the x-maxx than the Bluebird, the steering is a lot more controllable. Has me wondering about the specs of the Bluebird too as there is hardly any difference between the two when running at 6v. The 2085X runs lovely and cool as well so no over heating issues with this servo which is a massive plus and should ensure a good life from it. Overall the 2085X just seems a better product. Recommended! Edited July 18, 2017 by scoobied77 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocdcbr Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Tried 18/46 Sunday. Just on flat, short grass. No jumps. Had to straighten out my centre drive shaft 1st, which I did by hand. I will order a new 1 though. It was was very fast as expected. I will do a speed test run with it. my traxxas 6700 batteries do get warm and puff up slightly after a run. Hoping that's fairly normal. Esc seemed fine. Motor was hot but not crazy hot. I need to get my temp gun out from now on. Drive train is a bit noisy but I guess that's just the metal spur/ pinion. I have heard some are using a plastic spur. Might give that a go. Im thinking 18/50 will be a good gearing option for my style of bashing. Max5 going in after the speed run on the stock esc. I have cable tie shock limited and lowered my truck to see how it handles with a lower stance. Down to about 20mm shock travel all around with arms level or slightly going up towards the hubs. V easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just fitted and tested mine and it helps move the heavy pro-line wheels about. can wait to give it a good run tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
