Default RE: Genesis parts?


ORIGINAL: s5lin

The Hub carriers were ok, I didn't have a problem with that. The steering bellcranks I can't recommend. If you use the GPM bellcranks, its alot easier to strip servo horns. I had tried loosening the servo saver spring to try reduce the load on the servo to no avail. I just kept stripping out servo horns, if had I used an aluminum horn as well the output shaft on the servo would've stripped.

And I am not using the stock CEN servo for steering. I forked out $100 for the Hitec 5955TG, this is a Titanium gear servo with over 300 oz of torque!!
I have been stripping a ton of servo arms and never even thought about it being the alum steering assembly. I have the same servo and I've been trying all kinds of plastic servo arms, but they all keep stripping.
I did find that the alum parts took some of the slop out of the steering, and I actually had to press my bearings in, there was no slop at all.
