JamieP Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Thought this thread would be a good place to ask. One of the servos in my truck has died, i got it going with an poxy old tamiya one i had as i want to use it later. the ones in it are CIRRUS cds751 and i cant see any listed on ebay, shed load of other make ones though, whats a good quality high torque set to go for?

What truck is it? I'm guessing not the fg this soon. If it's a standard size servo you are after I recommend Savox, I have tried a few and am very happy with them, quite expensive so depends on how much you use it and what you use it for.

XTM monster mt, im pretty sure its a standard sevo but the xtm steering arm did not fit on the tamiya servo so i had to use a tamiya arm to get me by.

Not many servo's have interchangable arms. Did your truck come with 1 servo or the twin steering servo setup? I don't know much about that particular truck but thought the twin servo setup was an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hi Jamie, you guys are into Monster trucks too? I'm in heaven! Got 7 custom built E and T Maxx's I built myself but have other priorities right now, like the engine block on the kitchen worktop! For standard sized servos, I reckon Towerpro are the best value. Tenner each from Hong Kong on ebay and all the power you need. I get everything from ebay if I can and probably did at some point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, the truck is big and cheap servo's will just strip gears, They need to be metal geared at least or like I recommended the Savox actually have titanium gears. The only time I ever use the likes of towerpro servo's is in my shock flyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problems are fluctuating pots making neutral slightly twitchy sometimes but for the money, you can't beat them; you can bash them though. Sure I've had a couple die for no reason but seriously, great servos for steering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero-M Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 It came with twin servo setup, picture for you including my bodge. Nice looking trucks, Seems to be a good bodge for now. You can get away with 2 servo's cheaper than the savox as they won't be doing as much work as one would. I would look at some of the hitec range maybe the 645mg.

Morpheus Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Nah think I am going to run the engine in myself, GF brought the car all setup! So really I don't need to do anything in apart from running the engine in & then start using it! Maybe we should have a Supra meet, where we all turn up in our cars & then in the boot we get out out Nitro cars! I'll second that, as I haven't met any of you yet! Whether you want to meet me is quite another matter but I do know a lot about engines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
