GroundHog Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Had a bit of an issue with my throttle servo getting stuck with the throttle open - I've added some WD40 and it seems to have improved it, but I wonder if the servo should be replaced for a better one? I was planning on replacing the steering servo anyway as its still on the stock one, but wondered if I need to get two of the steering (ie expensive) servo's or if I can get away with a slightly less powerful one for the throttle? Any suggestions? Also, if I upgrade the servo's will I need to get an RX hump pack rather than the 4 x AA's I'm currently using? Cheers, gh.

Bennyboy Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Hi mate, i replaced the stock throttle/brake servo for a Hitec 475HB got it off ebay for around a tenner and it works wonders! much faster tha stock and it'll stop on its nose when i plant the anchors!! as for the RX pack, well worth while using one rather than 4 AA's! there's a company called Vapextech that do stick and hump packs cheap, well worth a look. Hope that helps Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRAETORIAN Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Servos wise its always best to get the best you can afford. A savox 1256 would be a little OTT on the throttle/brake of a Hyper though! Maybe try the Savox 252 on the thottle/brake and the 1256 on the steering? Daz, a mate of mine in stoke has a new Savox 1258 for sale in the for sales area that would be more than plenty on your steering as well Take a look HERE Cheers Edited May 29, 2011 by PRAETORIAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad-Co Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 are you sure its the servo ? Read http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/113925- and http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/112242- . Simple test. Swap the connectors over for both servo so the trigger controls the steering and wheel controls the throttle/brake. See if it still sticks.
