munki Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Stronger servos are generall used for the steering monster trucks that have a fair weight to move. mostly the best ones have metal gearing inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munki Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Not really mate most servos are the same size part form the mini ones for aircraft and such. If you just tell the person at the shop what you have they will point you in the right direction., But for a decent one your looking around 20 - 30 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think i will take your advice there aswell I need a new one for the Madforce and the EB4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsidian Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I'd say run it first, before spending more dosh on the car. The price of a servo could be a gallon and a half of fuel, which will keep you happy for a while. The stock steering servo is weak, but it's enough to turn the buggy around when it's rolling, it'll have less resistance to turn the wheels. If you're planning to race the buggy, ignore what I've just said and go get a better servo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3lyc Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Yeah I hate the stock servo on my Lightning stadium from Hot Bodies. Upgrading it to one of the best steering servos money can buy, the ACE DS1015. Its £58.99 but should come in handy for all the heavy bashing I do. That with a hump pack and failsafe and then my car is exactly the way I want it. Also, whereabouts in West Yorkshire are you? Im in Wakefield.
