Wheels and Servos

[City Divided]

Hey Guys,


I have been going through Hitec 5755 servos on my XT pretty much on a monthly basis. Question #1 - Can I put XB wheels/tires on my XT to lighten up the front end of my XT? Question #2 - Can anyone recommend a more powerful steering servo? Question #3 - Has anyone been successful in creating a dual steering servo system for the XT? Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,


City

Are you burning them out or stripping gears?

If you're burning up servos that often, something else is wrong. Either the servo saver is too tight, your EPA isn't adjusted correctly, or you have a binding issue.

Leaving the receiver battery on also can waste a servo.

Completely burning the servo out to where the servo case melts down.

Servo Saver/EPA/Binding

If you're burning up servos that often, something else is wrong. Either the servo saver is too tight, your EPA isn't adjusted correctly, or you have a binding issue.

The servo saver is adjusted correctly, tight but still allows some flex. My EPA are also on point and there are no issues with binding.

Are they burning out when you run the rc?

Servos Burn out while driving truck

Yeah, they burn out while driving normal....not even while bashing and jumping. I thought Hitec was suppose to be the best brand....I have spent close to $500 bucks in servos for the XT.....I think it is time to find a new servo brand.

Battery

I already use a 5000mah battery. I don't think the battery has anything to do with it.

Which radio/receiver? Are you using an on/off switch? You aren't using anything larger than a 6 volt pack right?

I know none of these questions should matter.....the only other thing would be that the linkage is binding or the epa but you said those aren't an issue.

I can say this. Its not the servos fault at all. Something else is really wrong. I would recheck your on/off switch and voltage of battery. I'm 100% sure its not the servos!
