bolt on steering servo upgrade for emaxx??

[xj_punk]

i was wondering if there are any upgrades for emaxx steering servos. the stock one is really weak with spools f/r. truck has to move to turn, and it kinda sucks. i can see the servo move side to side also...

i'm not quite ready to make it a full on crawler, i was just wondering if there are any easy upgrades (bolt ons)

thanks

really simple, stock servos suck, get a Hitec 645mg servo, or any other brand with 130 oz of torque or more. Also make it lighter. Less weight let the servo work easier.

Any servo with more than 80 oz. torque is an upgrade to the stock piece of crap. A very common one is the hitec 645mg, but those do not like to turn big tires as good as some others. if you are running small tires still, you shouldn't have a problem

but my question is do they mount in the place of the stock unit?

i am not very familiar with rc's, i have a 1:1 crawler so bear with me.

i am still running stock maxx tires and wheels, i would like to upgrade but i don't know what is necessary.

unscrew the old one, put in the new one... very simple ;-)

Yes, just look for any "standard" size servo (they are the same size as the stock servos you have now).

Do not get a 1/4 scale or a micro servo (they are too big and too small), just a standard size and you will be good to go.

go get a Hitec 645mg... everyone seems to like those.. or you can get a Hobbico cs-70.. they both have the same specs and will bolt right in ;-)
