RE: Official Nitro Evader ST Thread
Finally got my Evader out this spring. Snows all gone and it was about 70 out yesterday. I was doing fine breaking it in but then it happened. A 1" lip between the sidewalk and the pavement was two tempting. At first I was going over it nice and slow watching how easily the suspension soaked up the bump. Then I decided to hit it straight one fast, which resulted in the car somersaulting and a stripped steering servo. No big deal, decided to head to the LHS to get another futabo servo, no luck. The owner suggested that I through in one of mine hitec servos from my planes. Which brings me to my questions. When I installed the servo it seemed to turn too far? Also seemed not to grab the steering horn very well.
1. Are hitec servos compatible?
2. Do I need to adjust the travel in my servos?
Also I went ahead and ordered a Airtonics servo with metal gears. I'm probably going to add the steering horn to my order just in case I did strip it.
Thanks again for your input.
