Gaz! Posted September 27 Author Share Posted September 27 So, the servo arrived and first impressions were really good, looks incredibly close to the Injora servo but this servo has a full size horn spline same as the stock servo. delivered, Opened it all up, as you would expect, a selection of plastic horns, mounting rubbers, screws etc. in hand the servo feels like its been made properly with a really good finish. same goes for the mount and horn, just like the Injora servo, this has its own servo mount, i tried the servo in a Yeah racing mount and it doesnt fit. the only real gripe at this stage (not sure how good its pictured) but the splines on the out put aren’t fully machined, the servo horn is a little tight going on but still fits. also had to laugh, the alloy servo horn has been countersunk but they supply you with a button head screw, not a massive issue as its m3 so most folk should have something that would work. And a comparison pic with the Yeah racing servo mount, So its all fitted, centred up and tested, i can only do a bench test at the moment but up to yet im very impressed for the money, its silky smooth and really quiet in operation and seems to have a decent amount of power. If i manage to get a break in the weather and the course is dry enough, ill give it a “real world” test. I have now ordered the same brand but blue plastic case rated at 7kg but comes with a green alloy servo mount and horn all for £11.61 posted. at these kind of prices i dont mind the gamble, if the servo is crap then i still have a mount and horn which would cost more if bought as stand alone items. thanks for looking, Gaz. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted October 6 Author Share Posted October 6 Managed to get half hour playtime, oh my the Injora brushless combo is so smooth, makes technical bits much easier. Also that servo as yet is another good purchase, has a much stronger feel and if the front wheels are caught up, twitches the rest of the truck so yeah very happy with that too. Last mod, was trimming the bumper over riders off, that has worked very well too but the paint has soon been scratched off, no biggie though. last thing to buy for my Defender now is a set of decent straight links, at the moment its looking like some from Treal… i do want to convert my Ir40 over to brushless as well but maybe with the bigger motor and specialised gearbox to suit, then that ones finished too. now this last week as been a real crappy week for numerous reasons, so the mood has been quite low, to the point that i was looking at the Ir60 body i have (really pee’d off that I didn’t wait for the purple one without the stripes on the side) and if im honest, i lost interest in it, luckily my lad was straight on the case so i decided to give it to him with basically all the bits to make a runner, i had some complete Injora alloy/brass axles, alloy gearbox with metal gears hd shafts, alloy links, Injora shocks and all on i carbon chassis i bought a little while ago then he saw the Rocket rc brushless combo and decided he wanted that too so he has that, he picked out a set of wheels from my box and tyres but unfortunately one of them has been mounted up wrong and split about 1/3 off…..typically my luck though, im gonna try and glue it although i dont have to correct stuff. Thanks for looking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steephill Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 @Gaz! Thought you'd like the injora brushless systems. Coming down the steep technical sections are a real pleasure to drive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted October 6 Author Share Posted October 6 Yeah a massive difference mate, although credit where its due, the Injora brushed esc is very good too, just finding a good strong motor to go with it, ive yet to test my Ir40 with the Injora esc and a Holmes motor (came out my Defender) hopefully best it can be whilst i save for a brushless set-up. on another small note, have you seen the MN (i think thats the brand) have released a light blue Range Rover classic?? It’s about £70 i think, im definitely interested in know some of the dimensions of that, i would if i could use a Trx4m donor??? body itself does look very good from the limited pics, the wheel arches haven’t been chopped out as much.

Popular Post Gaz! Posted November 21 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 21 Wow, it’s gone a bit quiet in here……lol. so the tiniest of updates but make a big impact. have to shout out at @stupar for these Toyota decals, thank you so very much, its appreciated. Nothing much else done yet, still wanting a brushless system for my Fj40 along with some hardened steel driveshafts (inside the axle ones). also on a side note, as ive mentioned in earlier posts, i thought i had hit the big time with these Chinese servos, i have 3 in total now and rate them very highly, however the last 2 ive tried to buy (on separate occasions) 1 was “returned to sender” and one apparently “lost” the last 4 purchases were perfect from this eBay seller to which im not sure whether or not post up??? the only difference is these last two were bought when the seller sends you a offer with a percentage knocked off. Seems a little suspicious to me. so it looks like it will have to be the Injora branded servo whenever possible, id hoped my sales stuff would have gone by now, if it did i could complete all bits left to do on the Fj40 and my Chevy K10. hopefully a bit more to update soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
