LOL cause u gave me they key words I was literally ordering one with epacket option from ebay.
I put "e-packet" in search terms and checked details.
Thanks!

25T M3 Metal RC Servo Arm Horn for Futaba Savox Xcore Power HD Servos Red EVV | eBay
or
GoolRC Brand 25T M3 Metal RC Servo Arm Horn for Savox Xcore HL HSP HD Power 3 20kg-in Parts & Accessories from Toys & Hobbies on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group
Both with e-packet options if you don't want to wait forevers. We may aswell since we pretty much subsidize it with our tax dollars, until DT becomes President at least.

Thanks for the servo info will pick up one today at LHS.
BTW I love this crawler but here is what has broken so far, and mods I feel like needed to be made I dont mean this in a bad way because Im sure the same would have happened with a axial by now also. As a matter of fact most have with the guys I crawl with.
New tires- much better grip
Moved weight forward, battery now sits all the way over servo.
Broken - both diffs and case have had to b replaced. They were replaced with axial case and metal diff lockers.
Servo went out but think it was because the wire rubbed on the main gear and shorted it out.
now servo horn.
thats it so far, but it has been four months of very hard core crawling, mainly in large creekbeds at Stone mountain park.

You wont be disappointed with metal drive shafts they just look and feel so nice. Metal spur sounds nice n crunchy to me too. Metal 12mm wheel hubs, fully aluminum dual spring shocks, and these guys say metal servo horn.
That's pretty much it; I think I killed my tranny because of all the added inertial mass plus a 550 sensored motor with 3S power...
You can get metal tranny gears from xtra speed on ebay now.
I also used many screws from a cheap HPI screw kit that came with all hex heads.
Make sure the pitch is correct. I am using a 20T 48P with a 35T motor.
Stock gearing is metric which i think is 0.6mm. Post above stated 48P pitch but that is imperial so I assume he is tunning an scx10 spur. If you mix the 2 together they might work for a little while then destroy eachother.
This is wrong. we did this test a month ago bro.
It's 48DP no metric anything. I bought a SCX10 tranny it's also 48DP but it was after market so not sure. 48DP 17T pinion meshed like a glove.
After I asked
So using the calculator here it puts out 48dp.
R/C Calculations
SO unless you had an E10 laying around -you measured the HSP 87T spur and proved my last point right.
Also a 87T .6Mod spur would be huuuge.
Let me know what I won.
You win a cookie. Looks like I owe an apology. I just checked mine and compared it to a 48p pinion and it is s perfect match. I guess I assumed it was metric since all the gears on my 5 other HSP cars are metric.
Sorry.
Sorry.
2 cookies but you can keep them, I'll have a beet. I'm on a low cal diet.
Yea It's weird a chinese company would use Metric when most of their kits use .6mod.
But then again it wouldn't fit, and they wanted use something more available other than .5mod losi only uses.
I honestly would love to convert this to a lower tooth count .6mod spur. Once you fortify all the mechanical parts, it has a lot of room for speed.

normally the skid plate has notches for the rod ends.
many of the axial skip plates come this way as well as some other aftermarket brands.
it is also easy to make your own skid plate from some delrin or even a nylon cutting board from
Wal-Mart.
if you are thinking of spacers on the chassis rails, that would work but you would have a longer wheelbase
or need shorter lower links.
look at the sc10 skid plates or the wraith skid plates to see how they are made.
even look through this thread, there are many pics showing this.

Hey guys, I brought some option everest 10 diffs for my friends crawler the 180009 units to replace the std ones that have rounded out the plastic side, should the optional ones drop straight?..she's telling me they don't fit.
Is there another size bearing needed?..I'd have thought remove the std ones fit the bearing to the new steel and alloy unit and you're sorted.

Yeah that's what I'd have thought.
Has anyone done the change to the redcat optional lockers?
Any shiming required adjustments to get them to fit.
