Ended up getting 2 hitec 645, but now having some trouble fitting them...goto last post of thread.
Hey guys, looks like I fried my SF-1 throttle/brake servo somehow. Gears aren't stripped but it sometimes only works in one direction and sometimes doesn't work at all. Might have been due to some snow, but 3 days later it worked fine in dry conditions for about 30mins, then suddenly cut out.
I just took apart the servo to look for....well, something that looked broken lol Structurally everything looked fine. Now after I put the gears back together, I turned on the Tx and barely touched the throttle and the gears pop off and the servo spins at top speed continuously until I turn off the Rx. Tried putting the case back on, and servo just jammed and wouldn't turn. So I'm assuming there is a correct position for the gear(s), of which I am unaware of...so is there a specific direction that the notch on the top gear is supposed to be pointed?
Anyways...
I'm running the Savage X 4.1, stock servos, receiver, and Tx. Seems like many people normally move the steering servo to the T/B servo and replace the steering. I'd like to only buy one servo instead of two until my budget opens up a little.
So I guess I'm just looking for a steering servo at this time...suggestions/recommendations?
I've done some browsing but I'm not exactly sure what servo specs are compatible, in terms of size and compatibility with stock Rx/Tx; I'm sure someone can clear that up for me easily.
