Redcat XB - Servo Upgrades?

[vortech]

Hi all...


First off, great forum and support, glad to be a part of it.


I just recently purchased a Redcat XB. I hear and see that the servos are not the greatest in this truck. What would you folks suggest for a good steering/throttle servo? Do I need anything else to make them fit?


Thanks in advance!

I'd go with Savox or hitech servos...

Throttle/Brake - Hitec 645MG

Steering - Hitec 5755MG

Here's a vid that sums up the install of a 5755.

Does it have to be this way?

Regarding installing the Hightech steering servo? Any alternative that you don't have to shave?

You'll have to mod it in some way to get a Hitec to fit. That would be your best option.

kinda wrong.... I own A XB And all I did was that I bought the futuba pice (the middle one on the picture)

with that futuba pice you can mount hitec/savöx/multiplex servoes without doing any mod's.

for throttle servo I myself run the

Ah, I lied. I didn't see the servo mount.

When looking for Savox servos for my XB, which ones do I buy?

Savöx SV-0235MG Digital Jumbo Servo

is what I'm running, it's a 35kg servo, and actually I just noticed on my XB that when mounting the Savöx stearing servo I didn't use any of the spacers that is with the servomount set from redcat, it fits right inside the big hole in the mountingplate on the XB, I'll give you a picture later today if you wish

Thanks. Is it a far better servo than the stock? Also is it a steering or throttle servo?

It is the steering servo
