tanveer Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 got my new km baja on Friday, was out running it most of the weekend and has been spot on, almost had a run away due to the throttle servo glitching and holding wide open throttle on many occasions for a couple of seconds at a time, (thank god for my killer bee)...anyway i thought id upgrade with a cheap throttle servo something like the Savox SW-0231MG...would it be a decent enough upgrade? seems good value to me at 27 pound but i know naff all about servos...

Baja_Crazy Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) i run the 7954 for throttle on both baja and 5ive love them but theres no need for such a servo of that spec. http://www.freeprawnracing.co.uk/radio-gear-electrics/servos/hitec-hs-7954-sh-hs7954sh.html before hand i ran the Savox SC 0252 which i still have which is a fanatic servo for the price got the job done easily. unfortunately i don't have the link but if i remember right i got it from the servo shop.

jea Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 first thing I would be doing is finding out why the throttle servo was glitching . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one thing i was unsure about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do greatly appreciate your input though as sometimes a 2nd opinion helps when finding faults etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The servo above be fine, ive just fitted savox 0230mg which is only 8kg torque In my 5b shorty. It's all about how set your brakes up. I only got ent points on about 60% for brake and locks wheels up no problem! My full size 5b using the alturn which is 11kg torque is same locks hostile tires no probs I use 3 brake pad set up on both my cars.

So did you order the 0230mg or 0231mg as the 0230mg is 7.4v and is best ran With lipo to get max torque, on 6v be little weak. Or you get 0231 as in your first post you mentioned it, as 0231 ideal on 6v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
