Who got them today!!

[camo]

I bough an FS racing buggy about a year ago and the throttle servo froze on the forward position ........ I had to chase it for about half a mile until it got entangled on some bushes so.............


LOL I didnt even try the stock servo when I got it as I had a feeling it could happen again!!!! just buy a hitech 5805..... ultra good servo.

[brian101571]

just got done swaping my servos, much better!!!! Hope to get it out tomorrow when i get home from work. got my failsafe set for full breaks but don't have my third ch. kill switch hooked up yet,......buy the way I weighed mine dry and it was 20lbs 6oz

@ brian. Check the hitech 805 for full functionality. Those servos are analog and some 2.4 system don't like them, like I use a DX3S spektrum and that servo wont work properly with that radio. I know the hitech 5805 is the digital version and works great. put pics when you have a chance.

 

[brian101571]

@ camo I'm using the Futaba 3pl and it seems to work fine. What problems should I look for?

 

[camo]

The problems I had with my DX3S radio system were mainly when you when rapidly from left to right; it got stuck momentarily and also drained the battery faster.

 

[brian101571]

Here's a couple pics if I did it right. New, Fried servo, and after first run, notice only half of a rear wing left.











@ camo Thanks for the input. It seemed to work fine today...

 

[RedcatRacing]

Brian, I shot you a PM the other day about the servo.


Also, how did you sheer off half the wing? Video or it did not happen!

[brian101571]

@ Darin PM sent. Thank you


No video, busted the wing on my first jump. Did an endo and its only 50 degrees here. Other than that it was a good first run.

Can I be your friend too?...lmao!

 

[Ol' fart]

Yup


I flipped mine and got a crack in the wing first run. I'm going to add a aluminum brace to the wing at the rear underside and hold it on with button head screws. Hey, when you land on your ass.....

 

[TheNewbe]

Finally got my xt in took it out today after breaking it in last night and I just cannot believe the power of this thing. Only bad thing think I stripped out some gears in the rear end, front gets power back don't, crackin it open tommorrow to find out for sure.

 

[RampageHopUps]

Most likely you lost a CVD pin. Did you loctite them in place?

 

[Obeast44]

I also had the same thing happen, check the diff drive cup, mine had loosened on the front. Talking about some serious roosters with just 2wd!


Just slap a little locktite on it and it will be fine.

Haha that a boy!

 

[camo]

@thenewbe. It sounds like one of the diff cups got loose!!! I don't thing there is a problem with the rear diff gears. chek all diff cups and make sure they are tight well and with blue thread lock.
