Rock Stacker
what are the options from anyone who's been down this rabbit hole already? I can't sort out much in the way of servo options for this rig.
Here's why I'm looking: I'm running scx wheels and tires, knuckle weight, and the aluminum front axle, so i think i'm just overloading the capacity for the motor. It doesn't slip, doesn't appear to be an issue with the gears or internals, but won't steer to the left all the way to the stop. The right turns are fine. Kinda weird. If it's not weighted at all, like upside down, it works great. Like I said I feel intuitively like the motor is burning out and is performing like it's underpowered. It worked fine for a bunch of crawl sessions, just tired out the old servo I guess.
Anyway I'd rather toss in a new $20 servo than mess with the stocker. Looking for suggestions.
Also, I just tested it with fully charged batteries and it's a problem still.
Thanks a ton!
