roll1later Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Hi All My first question of many no doubt: Is there anything to be gained by upgrading the throttle servo from the plastic geared 1 supplied with the car to a metal geared 1? We've upgraded our steering servos, on our 2 Hypers, already which improved the handling loads and was just wondering if any gain would be made by doing the throttle 1's as well. Thanks for any advice. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothybb Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 There is something to be gained by changing them. Speed and braking force will both improve but's not absolutely necessary. Steering servo is more important but you got that covered already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roll1later Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thanks for the quick reply Smoothy Would an upgraded servo also cut down on the slight servo twitching we currently get or is that a transmitter/receiver issue? Thanks again Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy111 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I just upgraded the steering servo on my truggy and moved the old steering servo to the throttle/brake position, brakes are much stronger now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgtuser Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thanks for the quick reply Smoothy Would an upgraded servo also cut down on the slight servo twitching we currently get or is that a transmitter/receiver issue? Thanks again Paul thats metal / radio interfearance. do you have 2.4Ghz radio or standard 27Mhz? 27Mhz will cause this more, 2.4Ghz will reduce this, if not eliminate it.

roll1later Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 we have the 27Mhz that came with the car, will probably upgrade to 2.4 but having to do 2 of everything, for mine and my sons, this will have to wait a while. I went ahead and upgraded the servo anyway and also upgraded to a rechargable battery pack and an improvement has been noticed straight away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
