servo murdered

[derikmills]

Hello! So I was planning to upgrade my radio next, but I have a change of plans. I landed a jump tonight and although it landed beautifully on all four wheels, it was a monster jump and somehow managed to send a pin from the servo gearing right through the front of the servo case. Didn't even know that was possible. So is there a certain type of servo I should invest in or will a savox 1230sg work just as good as Any? The only thing I do with my truck these days is jump it and I can't find any places with dirt jumps so I have to use a skate park and the concrete doesn't make for a soft landing. I should probly just stop, but it's too much fun for all that. So does anyone have any servo suggestions other than the one listed? Thanks in advance

When i changed mine i went with the savox sw 1210-sg it had like 277 oz torque at like 6 volts if your using a LiPo receiver pack and have a receiver that i capable of taking more than 6 volts. They have a sw 1210-sg thats puts out 7.4 volts. Mine works great at 6 volts.

You can't post something like that without pictures! We want to see the carnage!

Hahaha. That is fair X. Unfortunately there really is no carnage. Just a small hole where the pin shot through. I'll see if I can't maybe upload a pic.

I believe you can see the hole in this photo. So much for using the stock servo huh?

PEOPLE USE STOCK SERVOS? sorry for the caps lock

 

[derikmills]

Hehe. Yep. Poor people do. Mine worked quite well for me actually. Let's face it, the front wheels are rarely on the ground anyway right? I've got a savox now. But today my slipper pad broke so now I'm gonna have to wait on another one. That's pretty annoying.

I second that.

I hate when that happens.

forgot about being poor and just starting out in the hobby. i didn't always have a thousand dollars in servos just sitting in my bench.

Well if you feel like you have too many then by all means feel free to ship one my way. Lol.
I am definitely new to the hobby and poor, but I do everything I can to keep it running. It occupies my time and keeps me out of my own head which is a terrible place for me to be so every penny spent is well worth it.
