Hi, I've been working on a XSTR I bought as a rolling chassis, real cheap. It's got a mix match of components. 1 of which is the steering servo from a Kyosho Sandmaster. It doesn't have a lot of power to turn the wheels of the XSTR. It worked ok in the Sandmaster but that was a lighter, 2WD car. This I've is 4WD & a lot heavier. So I'm putting to you guys to offer up some suggestions please?! I don't have a huge budget, this is to be my wkend basher Just need a servo that's gonna cope with a meaty-er car & steer quickly, confidently & consistently. Thanks in advance...

Update on this.... Turned out that 1 of the wheel bearings had started to disintegrate! Also had a little wear on the outside of the CVD because it wasn't being supported in there evenly. Heyho, a pack of new bearings latter & it's as smooth a babies behind.

Holy cack! Best wishes for a speedy recovery m8.

Well I got some Losi 1's. They seem to scale perfectly with the emb-1. Without any fitting instructions, I've fit them. Trouble is they don't seem to be performing as a sway bar should Si...where the flat part of the bar is screwed down on the rear, is that sposed to be tight or a little loose?

For the sake of

I just phoned a local shop, they said the Mini8 1's wouldn't fit Perhaps Karting used GTB 1's?

I do get a fair bit of body roll at the track races, certainly enough to give it a try. Thanks Si, to be honest I am hoping there's a compatibility between the models, cos again the parts market seems to be flooded with Losi only. Karting...ive seen the bars on DMS, but they all state Losi. Do you have a link to a set that deffo fits the EMB-1?

I'm being 'swayed' by the positive handling & feel you can get from sway bars. I've read a couple of insights into the effects of re-weight distribution etc, sounds intriguing enough to try them. Does any1 have a link to some that would fit a LC Racing EMB-1? Thanks in advance.

That must have been 1 hell of a crash.

Great news Si. Just looked bk thru the thread & can't find the motor. Any chance of a link?

I'm running a Overlander RC-6S AC Pro 80W charger. Cost mid-

@rc rookie : I'd alrdy switched to CVD's on the front. I had the issue b4 too tho. The issue occurs regardless of steering position I'm a little stumped to be honest. @ Si: I too have re-lubed rear diff & re-greased rear bevel gearing. Glad I've got that skill under my belt now. I think I'll tap up another racer from local club, he has 1 too, wonder if he's experienced the issue.

Just did the front only for now. When turning the rears tho - it's smooth as silk. Can't believe the price of these things tbh, cheap as chips. Might be worth having a spare anyways. I'm assuming the diff set I've seen for sale is the same on both ends of model?

Well that was good fun . The diff was only about 1/2 full of oil, and the colour was really quite silvery. Cleaned it out, checked for any particles etc, damage or signs of grinding. Nothing stood out as dodgy tbh. Filled it back up. Also applied some extra grease to gears before locking down the casing. Unfortunately still have the same issue. It's not a show stopper but a little concerned about it. Glad I've done all that tho, will be checking that lot every couple of months as a matter of course.
