Yep, they're high voltage. 6 volts will work just fine, you won't get the full potential out of them, though. But they're pretty fast on 6 volts.

I asked the same question not long ago and was told the 5765's were a bit too big for the dual steering setup and was a pita to install,if you compare the sizes they're quite different in size

after being told that by a few dudes I decided to go with 2 755s with metal gears

2 of them at 200 oz each isn't that low,400oz will easily crank the huge monster tires and nice and quick as well,the original stock servos worked perfectly for over 2 years,only reason they fried is that that weren't hooked up properly to the charger

so you are saying the 755 will work then is there much modding to do with mounting the 755?

The double sided horns have linkage mounting positions on both sides. The single sided horns have the mounting positions on one side. You want the single sided horns. The servos come with HD plastic horns but DDM gives you a free aluminum horn.

You are ordering from DDM, right? If you are, use coupon code "HBF" and they'll take 5% off of your order.

The 5765's are smaller than the stock servos. You might be talking about the 5805's, those are quite large. The 5765's are easy to mount, you just have to relocate two of the mounting holes on the mounts. Super easy.

Go with the 5765's, man. The 755's are analog and can only handle up to 6 volts. The 5765's are digital and they can handle up to 7.4 volts, so you have room to grow if you ever want to switch to a LiPo pack.

thanks deluge ill take your advice and order the 5765 at least have more torq then 755 just didn't want do a lot modding and just drilling two holes sounds really easy. so then free aluminum horn should be a single from ddm ? I order from ddm all the time great people, fast delivery

just bought a 5000 nmh battery so wont need to change for awhile but its nice to know if I do the servos can handle it. i still have warranty but don't want send back cause if it will only mess up in long run, and it would take to long to process I am better off getting ones that wont and 3 day shipping from ddm so I can have truck back up and running quicker and better THANKS AGAIN

one last question Do I have to order any screws to mount steering arm to the aluminum servo horn ? what are the rubber and metal things that come with servo?

You don't have to order any extra screws. If I remember correctly, you might have to widen the mounting holes on the horn so you can use the stock linkage. The rubber bushings are for use on the servo mount tabs, basically they absorb vibration.

+1 on that , my thoughts exactly, the stock to 5765 is easy, they are smaller
