Hey guys,
Ok, so the used Summit I picked up has some peculiarities. One of which, and is why I'm starting this thread, is the steering servo.
It's a Savox Digit SA1230SG. Says it's got 416ish oz-in of torque vs what, as far as I'm finding, is the stock Traxxas 2075 servo of 125 oz-in. Even with two of those stock, this one appears to be beefy enough.
It's also why I'm assuming I'm breaking the arm off the dual steering arm piece. Already happened once to me, and I just flipped it around, but I've got to think it's going to happen again in the near future, especially since there isn't a second servo to pull while this one is pushing.
So, question to y'all - if I get an aluminum version of that arm, do you think that'll solve my problem? I think everything downstream would be fine since it's already seeing that increased torque. Only things upstream are the servo horn and turnbuckle - I figure those probably are ok, but I could always replace those too with upgraded metal ones. Thoughts?
Oh, and since the pic is there, anyone see anything that jumps out as "OMG replace it immediately"? Figured I'd ask
Thanks everyone.
Cheers!
