steering servo question

[AlphaDog777]

hey guys i was cruising the site and saw something that threw me off... the hitech servo that ddm offers is a direct bolt in, correct?...

if not, what do i need?


and even though it is to late, is this going to work well for me?

servo has plenty of torque but it has nylon gears which, with the mt tires might not hold up. You'll have to cut the tits off the servo mounts and redrill the bottom holes to fit the hitec but it's only a 5 min job.

Probably not, You really need metal gear servos for largescale RC. The 805 has a lot of mixed reviews.


Most go with the Hitec 5745MG.

you meen its too late like you ordered all ready? if so hop on towers and get the rebuild kit. i think it cost $4.00 those are plastic gears. cant say how long they will last.. its almost a direct fit. kust have to trim the bottom nipples off the mkount and drill a new hole for the lower mounting tabs. other then that, it drops right in

yea, good advice.. ill order up the some gears to tie me over till im ready to drop the big $$ on a nice metal gear.... thanks guys

you can always buy another one and make a dual servo set up im pretty sure those would last if you ran 2 im not sure how well it will hold up on its own those wheels are heavy

well im gunna find out lol.. cause i don't have the cash to by a better one for another 2 weeks or so...

 

[C.B.]

it should work for awhile

 

[AlphaDog777]

ill losen up my servo saver and deal with shit turning, that should help till i can afford a new one... hopefully


what do i need to put a futaba?

 

[C.B.]

not sure about the futaba i know some guys are running the hpi steering servo


run that hitec and let us know how it does

 

[AlphaDog777]

Will do....I'm hopeful

 

[C.B.]

its gotta work better then the factory crap you got and have had to deal with


gotta love the low end electronics we should run them when you get yours up and going oh yeah the x can is loud as s#%*

 

[AlphaDog777]
