Hi all!!

After my third servo being scrap because of water, I'm asking : Do you think I can put the E-REVO servos in my AVALANCHEXP? (Are they compatible?)

Why I ask? E-REVO's servos are edit :"water resistent" ... lol

I dont know why you wouldnt, im not sure on the torque specs but i think it would work.

GerardAtJob

Nice! I'll try and give news if they works okay

I don't really mind for the torque... I just need them to do the job :TURNLEFT/RIGHTand don't scrap after a few drop of water lol

Gerardatjob,
Are they water proof or water resistant?

traxxas servos are waterproof atleast the blue ones are. they seal the case up real good

They are water resistent. Dunk the servo in water for a minute and work it back and forth. Same as the XL5 esc on the Slash, water resistent.

chris rc they waterproof them by covering them with liquid tape. i contacted them about it. go dunk one in water, i bet it would still work

GerardAtJob

Here's a vid on waterproofing "regular" servos.. You can get the "plasti-dip" at HomeDepot or similar hardware type stores in the US..

Yes the servos will work. You may need a new servo horn, but they will work.

Sorry for all the stupid questions....but im a nitro newbie......whats a servo horn?   lol

Servo horn: Plastic arm that attaches (via a single screw) to the servo.
