Servo Advice!?!
For RCU Staff: By mistake I posted this in electric forum earlier, sorry. I would deleted it if I could.
I finally figured out that one of my JR stock servos is totally dead in my LST2, not getting power at all. I can't decide rather to replace the simi-crappy Z590M with a new one. Or if I should get two new ones. If so, there are some high torque (15KG, or 208oz supposedly) on ebay out of Hong Kong selling as a pair for about 30 bucks. I def don't want to drop fifty bucks a piece on two new servos right now. ...
Or should I just get (1) Good servo to replac the dual?
Also... its a pain getting the servos in and out... the arm is in the way!? Advice?....

RE: Servo Advice!?!
I got the Z620? I think that's the number..
I put two of them in my truck
They both are kinda loud
but will turn the tires on concrete at a dead stop.

I use a Tower Pro 995 on my Savage, and was also wondering if anybody uses these on their LST2.. They're probably the same thing from HK you're talking about.. ??
Anyway, I just got two here for €27 including shipping, so the next time one of my 590's c.raps out(so far I've had one just die, and I smashed the other one landing from pretty high up - hit a rock or something..), for 30 bucks that's what I'll be trying.. Was just wondering if anybody else had experience with them on an LST2..
I bought those two cuz the first one in my Sav just c.rapped out - but heck, for that price I'll replace servos once a year.. Performance in the Sav is very good I would say.. - defo better than any of those horrible g.arbage Bluebird servos (never again..) I tend to load up my hump-packs pretty long I guess, so maybe it just didn't like that.. With two though maybe it wouldn't be so bad?
Anyway, for 30 bucks for two servos give 'em a shot...

Don't buy the no name crap from HongKong. They will last a month before they take a crap. Buy a pair or jr 650's, they have the right amount of power and speed and they're like 10 bucks more than the 590's and work very well in the lst2. Also, I love JR's return policy if a servo stops working. Btw, you can send in your servo to JR and tell them to replace it if its less than 3 years old./
