I have an MT, but was thinking of changing the hump pack to lipo to last longer, is this possible?? Would the mess up my servos or can I keep the stock servos????? Where would I get them and how much? Thanks guys!!!

the killer RC lipo receiver is the best!!! I have one my self, and it livens up the servos. the stock servos are garbage...they don't even last with the stock hump pack. so therefore change the stockers

Thanks goffee, but which one is the right one? I don't want to buy the wrong one and make sure it fits inside the box. What's the part#?

I know RCDAD has all that stuff on one of his but I thought you had to go to different servos to handle 7.4v, what servos are you running Goffee

I'm running hitec 5755 and 5625... I emailed kent at killer rc and he said they will run perfectly fine with high voltage!! I havent had any problems with them at all... I use the 6000 mah...I know rcdad uses the 7200mah you really can't go wrong with either

Thanks RC, I did buy a Hitec 577, something like that 2 yrs ago, I was under the impression 1 can control the steering by it self????? I still need to find the single steering arm. I see some pics but they say dual steering?? I did order a digital metal servo for throttle, I figure I would I stall all the same time!

I picked up one of the Killer RC LiFe packs a while ago, it will fit in the Dune Runner RX box.

Eerybody is wondering about the servos, but what i want to know is, will the receiver take the extra voltage. Planning on changing over the the flysky soon as well.

If you have the MT with dual servos, you have the small battery box. The Killer RC lipos won't fit that box.

Why do you need to change the servo arm? i just removed the linkage when one of the stockers took a crap. works good
