I know I've seen one but can't remember where. Does anyone have a pic of a setup which shows 2 - 1/4 scale servos? One for the steering and the other to control the throttle and dual disk brakes??

What car? I used to run this setup in my EVO but I've since changed it...

Great pic!! I'm running it in my "monster marder" now since I've changed it from the MB and the MT-5. I have an aluminum tray that hold the 2 reg. servos and 1 -1/4 servo. If I change it to 2 Hitec 805 servos, one for the steering and one for the throttle and brakes it may brake better. I have both tunning cable brakes and I find with the monster wheels it's a bit tough at times. I wouldn't have to worry about torque at all then. Before I cut the radio tray I need to know it's still a good idea.

Here's some pics of what I have.

Before you make the change, check how much space you have between the chassis and servo mounting plate. I didn't [:@] and found that when I installed the 1/4 scale servos for throttle and brake, they where too tall and hit the chassis. I ended up have to make spacers to mount between the servo and tray to hold them up off the chassis. While this worked, I wasn't happy with the setup as it raised center of gravity as I also had to raise the master cylinders too. On an off-road car for bashing, this doesn't really matter. For my comp EVO, I decided to go with smaller, lighter Airtronics servos.

I had the same problem when I fitted a 1/4 scale for throttle/brake. The fix is to get the throttle servo as close as you can to the steering servo so the bottom clears the upturn on the chassis rail

guys

is a quater scale servo needed for throttle control? i thought a hi-torque standard servo would do the trick.

No it's not needed I have a 5945mg on my marder race but SELWA seems to want to use a 1/4 scale. He probably has one laying around

Don't we all just have one lying around?? I just got mine yesterday as a spare but I thought why not use it?? I think with the dual cable disk brakes and the Monster wheels it would work better. I thought about the clearance issue too. So I'll try mounting it on my spare chassis and plastic radio tray before I cut the aluminum one I have. Another reason I'm doing this is so I can return the receiver box back to it's original location so I can change batteries without a hassle.

Here's a link to a picture of a servo setup that I saw
