My Hitec steering servo died on me! Not even 1 hr of use in total.

Don't know if I should go through DDM for replacement or submit a warranty claim with Hitec! So annoying!

Suggestions?

Go through Hitec

Received my 7075RC diff housing. Now the question is are the front and rear diffs exactly the same or did I receive 2 fronts or 2 rears? Thanks!

Anyone??????

 

[designed2survive]

Never mind, I found the answer.

Taking Pheerider's idea and going dual individual steering servos.

 

[Ice_2k]

Meaning two servos working independently?

Yes. Then there is no conflict between the two with setting them up.

I see, interesting idea

the connecting bar is going to pop out. i placed a limiter screw over the bar that is adjustable . but it still pops out, i have broken 2 i think, the last time i said forget.

with the connector in place its not that hard to set them up , its far from precsion .

for 4X4 drive its gives better control

On my current setup I have made a connecting bar out of 3mm aluminum plate screwed in. So no popping out and it works great. But I think with the future setup (your setup) I'm going to take it out and just have the right servo in charge of the right wheel and the left servo in charge of the left wheel.

Got my second servo, the 9500 spring and steering stuff. Now waiting on an order from rampage shop that should be here this Thursday then I can do the conversion.

 

[Ice_2k]

Do you have enough space for the 2nd servo?

If I mount the radio box above the second servo, then yes, tight but yes. Making a bracket as we speak.
