Hey all,

Just wondering what you guys use for servos in your genesis series RCs.

After destroying a Hitec 5955TG, I bought a bunch of stock 10KG CEN ones off ebay. Trouble is, they seem to last about an hour or less each before I strip them.
I've tried stock steering linkage, alum steering linkage w/ bearings, plastic and alum servo arms, and I seem to end up stripping servos anyway [:@]

Anybody found a good servo thats tough enough for these trucks? Or has anyone done a nice and neat dual servo mod?

Thanks!

Hey dustin, I've done the dual servo mod and have yet to burn or strip a stock servo..

Let the pics tell the story...

Does this look neat and clean enough???

If you don't fancy doing such a mod, why not back off your servo saver spring tensioner.

The steering may not be so direct, but at least you won't eat servos.

i use a jrz 9000t with no isues for almost 2 years know

TRD, Looks wicked man, Hope you dont mind if I infringe on your patent for that design

Scott GTR, yeah, probelm is I only have it set at about 3/4 spring tensions, so IDK why I keep breaking them. Plus I love modding stuff

blackrain, Ill check that servo out, might be what I need.


Thanks all

Hey how did you connect the wires for both the steering servos?

BayRyder, I used a [link=http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Revo-Y-Splitter-Servo-Connector-Adapter-Traxxas_W0QQitemZ190130626887QQihZ009QQcategoryZ34 063QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]Revo servo Y-splitter[/link], but any servo Y-splitter will do the job..

What guage aluminum did you use for the "C" shaped servo mount and the spacer (which i assume goes under the c-shaped bracket)?

Here is the complete library of [link=http://picasaweb.google.com/TheRealDogman/DualServoMod?authkey=uOfLcs9pHvM]Dual Servo Mod Pictures!! Enjoy!!!![/link]

After my first 10kg Cen servo died i found CanYouDIY was selling a 25kg Servo!!! it wasn't until it arrived that i realised it was a 1/5th Scale servo - nearly twice as big as the original

i decided it was going to fit anyways

That is another way of getting around the problem.

Good work.

anyone know of a ball joint or similiar type of steering mechanism which doesn't "POP" off too easily?

Yeah change out the ball cup for a rodend and use a larger washer on the outside of the rodend just in case...
