yes i did i went with the rhino,its bad all metal, going to try it out on sat, if on rain, thinking to run it with the body on it for the first time

 

[387mudslinger]

Hitec 5745 should do just fine.

i don't like the one in my tt i think its a little weak for a 1/5 servo, but it works i'm thinking to put the one in it, if not the rhino

Servos


Will the Rhino and 5745 bolt right in or are mods needed? Tried matching case sizes but no one gives a distance between mounting holes. I think the lengths given are overall length

The 5745 will need one of the ears trimmed to fit in. Its very easy though. There are pictures on here somewhere I will look.

how simular are the too i had too do the some with the dig 4 rhino looking for one more servo, but at 125 each, don't get me wrong u get what u pay for, but its a lil too much for my road car,thinking too put it in my tt
and put the one in my tt in the car, is the 5745 a bit tamer then the rhino?

if its for the on-road car, check out the hitech 805. its really cheap but has good speed and 224oz of torche. but its a plastic gear. i have one that i keep for a spare and its in my mt right now(waiting-for-rhino). its not a bad servo and only $39.. get the replacement gears and your set..

i'll check that out .

for the price of the digi 4 you can get 2 5745's and go dual...plenty of power...I got a digi 4 in my yet to run TT which will be plenty and 2 5745's in my MT, ultimate would be 2 digi4's for the MT tiresbut the 5745's are much more than adequate.
Difference between the 2 is about 120ozin's the digi4 is way more powerfull even the the spec's don't give that impresssion...the conservative Germans always understate, actual initial torque is 383ozins compared to 269 for the 5745

thank you.

Front steering hub

I've had the screw in the lower a-arm in both sides pull out of the plastic steering hub. Does anyone know if the aluminum steering hubs for the MT/TT are the same for the rally?

biggiecamp,


I had the same problem to when I ran over a nitro car, I ripped out the top and bottom screws from the steering hub. The MT and TT hubs will not fit, even the bearings are a different size.


Here's a quick fix, crazy glue which bonds plastic and a nylon spacer from a hardware store. The inside of the spacer should be slightly small to retread the screw. I drilled out the original steering hub hole and clean out the grease for a very tight fit. I dremel a slight bevel on the hub to help the spacer go in. I add crazy glue and used a pliers or clamp to push the spacer in.


The picture are before I shaved off the nylon spacer and tread the hub.


This is a improvement from the original plastic treads in the hub. The nylon is much strengther.


I drifted the car with a 1 tank of gas so far no problems.











Hope that helps


Ken
