mond Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Anyone done or of these? I'm finding a single servo isn't enough at the track and dual servos just a ball ache. Considering just buying the Uber RC system. Not sure how to deal with the receiver and battery though i.e. heat from the pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 @Rover Man is a bit of a Tonegawa guru ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 They're supposed to be the bees knees for largescale steering, but I think you're looking at 3 to 400 notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, aware of the costs. It's more a case of understanding if it's the be all and end all. My 5ive is fantastic but I use it on a track and may race it on other tracks this season, if not next and I need a suitable setup. The only setups I've not tried are dual 0235's/KP 4000, dual 845s or the Spectrum 9020 or the really silly spectrum. Would rather go single servo and the Tone seems to be a good option.

Tug Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Yeah, apparently so. As AJ said, RM will know more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover Man Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Never had any issues with the setup i made for mine. That servo is now over 10 years old and still running . If you can find a used Oddified one there a bit quicker than standard. If not Ian can still sort you out as he still carries some stock of the parts.

The only issue is running when its very cold as the drive gear is plastic and can shatter. Only had it once in a Lauterbacher super X and that was known as having a rubbish servo saver setup. And there not as quick as a twin setup but you wont notice on a Short course truck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ever broke one and that was my own fault. What radio do you use ?? As on my 4pk i had to run in ppm mode as the tonnie is anolog . Never caused me any issue with running a savox digital at the same time on the throttle/brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that it sometimes takes a little fiddling to get it to all run but that's no bother. Got a few different servos to pair with it if needed. Do you run on 2 or 3S? If 3S, I assume you run a BEC?

Rover Man Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I ran with a 2s but the tonnie is fine up to 12v as it runs its own power lead direct from the battery, So with a 3s setup you will have to step down the voltage for the receiver and other servo. On 3s the Tonnie will give you about 90kg of pull, Keep ya fingers out the way lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super sharp shooter Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Can’t fault mine in my 5t. I have had to change out the final gear as I striped it but was only £20 to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whack it in analog and it's grand. Never had any issues with it in my 5ive. Had to swap sides from the setup Dave had it in as my motor was on the other side but made one to a similar idea and been solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mond Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 I think I'll probably get one of these. Just deciding how I should wire it up to get 11v into the tonegawa and 8.4 into the receiver. I'm guessing the simplest way is two BECs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ran a 2s LiPo on it and never felt the servo was down on power, and that was with 15s of Lipo's on board too. 2s Should be fine for bashing, and it saves all the extra electronics for various voltages.

mond Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 @Rover Man So I got one of these and it appears to be broken. Radio is set to Analog (4PLS in TFH-NR mode), it's own 2S battery powering it and it quite literally will not move the wheels back and forth when on the ground. Something was clearly wrong from the offset and after two laps it was almost too hot to touch! Any ideas? Will be sending it back unfortunately.

Rover Man Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 sounds like a dodgy servo. Never had any issues with mine . Contact Ian on http://www.oddified.com/contact.php He may be able to advise on a service of the servo you have cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not paying to fix a broken servo when it's broke out of the box. I've read about others arriving with problems but then others being super reliable.
