How wonderful that you share your knowledge! Thank you for letting us know the compatible parts and how to make improvements to this incredible truck. It is very difficult to find parts and know if they are compatible, I would waste a lot of money on this and I wouldn't know how to do it. Thanks a lot!
On a servo steering arm you have the most power in the inner hole. The further outside you place the rod, the more angle you get but less power is transfered. I think that´s why they chose inside hole with the standard servo.
Hello, thanks a lot for this guide! I've made the same change (same servo) but when steering is full left/right, the car slows down and starts "tugging". I need to increase power a lot. Please, advice what is wrong. Thank you very much in advance.
Change your plastic dog bones into a metal cvd. Including the metal steering cub and the wheel hub. If you still want the plastic, trim the steering cup that hit the axle.
@@morrisrc Thank you very much. I've tried to trim the steering cup according to your video as well but the problem is the same even with the original servo. When full turn to the left/right the car movement is tugging :-(. But I try to buy metal parts you advice.
You could put a set of nuts in between the axle and axle trust then you can lower the steering link to the bottom hole but yes the steering upgrades are better then the plastic ones awesome video thanks 🍻
I initially ordered the Surpass hobby 17g which appears to have even more force but slower (which is a positive point for our usage?) but then it is not waterproof so I end up also ordering the DSPower 221g lol, I will have both to compare haha
@@morrisrc I receive both today, the DSPower is slower/geared lower and much noisier (seems like the MN servo is from the same factory) the "waterproofing" is a dab of conformal coating on the PCB, not sufficient. The Surpass hobby on the other hand is quieter and as fast as the stock servo, seems better built overall, more electronics (3ICs vs single one) and higher precision.
New servo with digital signal for better response, higher grams for torque. You still need to relocate the steering arm to the outer whole of servo horn.
I don't use servo from surpass hobby. That is also what I heard from my friends. All of my rigs I used 18g from JX PDI and now it's my first time using 21g from dspower. I never experience damage from JX servo.
