I tried these generic servos from Hong Kong and just had to get rid of them because I thought they sucked. They would not work with my TQ3 at all. I put new batterys in my RX pack and no difference. I pluged them into my race truck reciever (Futaba) and they worked great, no glitch or twitch. I'm still tring to find a cheep good servo. I got a Traxxas 2055 brand new for $10 but it is not strong enough. I don't want digital because I think thats why these Hong Kong units didn't work. I'm running 4WS off a "Y" connector (2 servos off one channel). I don't know if this could be part of the problem but it works fine with the servos I've got they just are not strong enough.

Listen to Jason the Hitec 645 is crap. I've also heard good things about JR's.

I don't think I'm with you on this one, I have ran 645's for 6 or 7 month's, and I use up at least 1 3600 pack crawling everyday,they have alway's been kind of on the weak side, but nobody has ever outdone me on any certain obstacle because they have 300 oz servo's. I finally got 40 series moab's about a month and a half ago and just stirpped my first 645 the other day. I won't be buying another 645 for my crawler purely because if I spend the money I am going to buy the JR 300 oz for the 3 year warranty and looking for a little more power. The 645 is about the best servo for the price and is by no mean's crap. I feel pretty good about my hundred's of hour's of use on a $45 servo.

Tq3

OK guys, I need to know what servos every one is using with there Traxxas TQ3 and is any one using a "Y" connector with there TQ3 to run 4WS?

I have found some cheep and some expensive servos on EBay but like I said earlier I cannot get digital servos to work with my TQ3 and 4WS. The problem I am having is finding a high torque servo that is not digital.

I use CB-995's they say digi on em.
I have moded my TQ3 to have rear steer as others have, so I don't have a y connector. Unless you want to run a winch and 4ws off of it.
The mode is easy and you really only have to mess with 3 wires.
I and others have posted how they moded their TQ3's for rear steer.

Oh and the CB-995's are only 18.50 plus 4.50 shipping. See the vendor section under SERVO-Introductory offer.


EDIT:A link to my TQ3 mode.

These are renamed Tower Pro MG995's I see. I don't do compititions so I don't want to mess with indi-rear steer plus I used my third channel for a rear dig. You don't get any glitching or any thing? The Hong Kong servos I had were to be the same as MG995's and the thing would just freek out on me. Its hard to control a epileptic RC.

 

[Double J]

so far I haven't had a problem.

and you could use a y for the servos since your using a dig.
read through some of the MG-995 threads and see what you think. I personally won't try to sell you on somthing that you really may not want.

I like the tp's I have 6 of them, never had a problem and they are alot stronger and tougher than the 645's anyday.

I run a hitec digi 5955 with my TQ3. Have you tried an rx pack to power your servos?

Cirrus servo ?

Hey guys, anyone using this servo cirrus super torq cs-80 288mg? I just tried out my tlt and the steering on this sucks. I see alot of people using the mg-995. I just purchased the Spektrun DX3.0 and it has the EPA. It came with there high torque z-590. Will this be good for steering? I believe it is only a 90 degree. should I use a 180 servo and do the adjustment? Help anyone Tired of doing a 20 point turn:x

I have a problem, I have a mg995 servo, I plugged it in to my traxxas receiver and nothing happened, so I hooked the traxxas 2055 back up and no problem, what am I doing wrong.
