caca4u -> servos (10/15/2003 4:52:59 AM)

any one know what servos are compatible with my mx3 radio but not two expensive i need some for my fg sportsline but dont know what to get or where to find them. any suggestions or cites would be appriciated

The mx3 is the same radio i'm using on my 1/6 scale buggy. Its a standard Fm radio so you can use just about any regular servo.
For throttle/brake i'm using a standard futaba 3003 servo. I wasnt sure if that would be enough power for the brakes but since the buggy brakes are crap to begin with (rear only) a stronger servo would only make them lock up quicker.
As for the steering servo i started out with a Hitec 1/4 scale servo that broke after about 30 minutes of using it. Then i upgraded to a Hitec 1/4 scale digital metal gear servo which has works great ever since! Sorry i dont have any part numbers but if you look on towerhobbies.com you'll see what ones i'm talking about (i believe hitec only sells two 1/4 scale servos)

I hope that helps
Feel free to ask more if not.
Mike

Dr Evil,

Can't you upgrade your buggy to add front brakes? I have them on my FG and they run off of the third channel applying slightly after the rear brakes.



drevil -> RE: servos (10/16/2003 7:03:15 AM)

Yes you can upgrade to front brakes on the FG marder. I was talking about how crappy the stock rear only brakes are. If you are going to be upgrading the car to front brakes then you'd definately want to go with a hi torque standard size servo.
