.AJ. Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 I’ll give it to Monday, if I’m not satisfied it’s actually going to arrive I’ll order one of these https://www.taylorrc.co.uk/product-page/raminator-monster-truck-pm1373-70kg-high-voltage-digital-steering-or-brake-servo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 The servo is being returned to the seller and then they will ship it again, so I guess it could get collared again 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 Just checked the tracking for the combo and it’s not even been shipped, all they did it book the shipping with FedEx, it’s not been dropped off or collected, I’m pretty bloody annoyed now, it’s the last time i buy anything over £20 from Aliexpress 😡 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted June 5, 2022 Author Share Posted June 5, 2022 Finally spoke to the combo seller, he said it was the Dragon Boat festival the end of last week, so it was a public holiday and he assures me it’s been shipped and will chase it up tomorrow. The servo has been returned to the seller to reship, but again that’s been held up because of the festival. So if everything works out the combo should be with by the end of the week, the servo is still probably 2+ weeks away, so I’ve picked up a temporary replacement while I wait… I’ve run them before and they are excellent for the money, normally around £45, but i got it for £30 new and unused off eBay, so I can sell it on for little or no loss when the Power HD finally turns up 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post .AJ. Posted June 6, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2022 Combo should be arriving Friday 👍 Picked up some QS8 connectors, I really like them, they are much nicer than the EC8 connectors I used on the 5ive B They have anti spark build in, but thats not really need for a Max 5 style esc though 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 Not yet, the K Power is due tomorrow, no idea when the Power HD will arrive though. Obviously I’m still waiting on the lipos, but I’ve got a 6s pack I can use use to set everything up and for some basic testing 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post .AJ. Posted June 8, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2022 Testing fitting I need to extend the motor wires, they are literally 2” too short, the motor has 8mm bullets and the esc is 6.5mm, so I’ll make up set of short converter cables 👍 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 So this is about same size as Xmaxx with better handling but not as robust? Have you had an Xmaxx to compare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
