Hi Guys,

Id like to buy this baby and lookin for servo what fits wo. troubles in it.

Does the Sanwa ERG RZ fits??? Im thinking about the pushrod from the servoarm to the saver. No inclined position???

thanx for help.

I have tried a Futaba BL-451 and a Sanwa ERG-VZ and they both fit perfectly. I am thinking about putting a low profile servo so as to lighten up the front end a little.

Hi Ami,

Does it mean that normally- in case of standard size servo- its good to have to use the additional extra weight on the rear sector of the chassi?

tnx

[AmiSMB]

I just find that the front end drops when jumping. I am using Lipo IP 4200mah packs and the brass weight set at the rear so I am just going to try the low profile servo as it is over 20g less on the front. I used this servo in my X-6 but found that I needed more weight on the front so have gone back to using a Sanwa servo so though I would do the reverse on the Durango. Also it maybe nice to have some more space upfront for the transponder.

I see you can get IP5000 saddle same size as the old 4200s now.
My Durango is a little nose down to but dont mind it this way as a little throttle brings it up and means you can keep on the gas

Thanks to fastinfastout for suggesting to flip the esc.
This works much better and allows for a fan and cooler temps.

Is that a tekin RS or RS pro?

Thanks. It's an RS Pro. The motor at the time was a 5.5, now running a X12 6.5 with no heating issues at all...

I have also changed to Sanwa, with the Sanwa receiver there is more space but it's on its side. I will try and post a pic of that set-up. The Futaba is tricky because of the extra antenna hump. I wish Futaba would bring out a smaller receiver.

nice set up
But I was actually thinking putting a fan where your receiver is, and standing up your receiver where your fan is.

That way, all the post will get a good blow, rather than the first 1 or 2 how you arranged it now.

but if its working for ya, dont change!

Actually, I tried that first, but didn't like the rx on it's side. It was difficult to get to the plugs. Also, the fan was trying to pull air from the side of the body, making airflow restricted.
This way the air is pulled from the openings in the front of the body and flows very well out the back. With the body on, the air can be felt about a foot past the wing!! Cooool!
I'm working on an alu radio tray to install everything on. I'll photo it when finished.

I like it, as it will allow you to put a fan facing the motor under the shaft!

To be honest not sure whether motor tabs will touch the shell yet as the shell was in the pant shop ( due back today)

put it in this way because it seemed less fussy than going under the prop shaft

will check the shell tonight hopefully will fit - I was assumming the shell fitted on the outside of the chassis so would be ok?

Thanks to my mate Tyson of rc-screws.co.uk who actually did the elec install for me - I don't think he wanted me to ruin the looks of the car with my ham fisted technique! (cheers pal)

[samd]

I did the same with mine, then got the shell back and it didnt fit. The shell steps in a bit at the sides after it chassis, just to make things more difficult!

[shanks]

Cheers sam made my day! Lol

well if shell touches I may be able to just rotate the motor a little to bring the tabs more upright

if that don't work looks like a re think will be on the cards!

i sent my sell off to be done,i couldnt work out why eveyone was putting there wire under the drive shaft,i had my motor slightly angled in and put the wires over it,i borrowed a bodyshell and the tabs rubbed on the shell,i think the only was it does fit is putting the tabs on the inside

[shanks]

Our joking?

Bugger teach me for not waiting till I got the shell back won't it!!!

Itching to drive the car now and hoping it goes anywhere near a good as it looks!!
