What servo do you plan on running? 5765 or a 5805?

I ran a single 5805 with great results. I just installed the aluminum servo mount and it bolted right up.

Aluminum Futaba Servo Mount

You don't have to buy the rack with the single servo saver, just lock down the servo saver you're not using and you're good to go. The battery box is optional. It has room for larger batteries, including LiPos, if you ever want to run one.

That's why you need the box I linked

A decent single servo will perform as good or better than the 2 stock unites. A single unit is always easier to set up.

What is wrong with the stock dual setup that makes you want to change to single servo?

If you are having issue with going straight

1- you may have a worn out servo horn

2- the steering linkage may have not been setup properly

3- you may have too much side play in your steering linkage

Did you ever get around to changing the servos? If so, which setup did you go for?

I got tgy-1270HV servos.

Quality is good, but slow.

Linkage is best, I made some mode and my linkage is tight.

I will post pics, when I have time.
