I really think i should post this in the newbie section, but since it involves a servo that needed a ebc for the trx4 etc and putting into a different platform; here I am.
Part 1: I have a new trx4. Every where I read said the steering servo was terrible and to get a 400 oz/in one or better. To keep things simple and at the behest of the Amain website, I bought the traxxas 400 and the traxxas bec add on.
I am now finding there were better options for less, and it only produces about 230 oz/in and the type of use I have been doing and the course I built is very taxing on steering....
Part 2: I bought my daughter a redcat gen7 pro to gauge her true interest in the hobby. Turns out she is really into it. And so is the wife. WINNING!
So if I think the trx4 steering is a bad, the redcat is horrific. I spoke with the guys at redcat who are really nice and they said skip the high steer and get the portals, and the steering is a little better degree wise and you get portals.
Part 3: Can I use the traxxas 400 servo in the redcat? Is it a direct plug in (maybe the plugs are different but I can cut and solder the oem plug onto the traxxas 400 if needed)? Or do I need to add that traxxas ebc or other voltage regulator? Or what would I need to run the traxxas 400 servo in the redcat with the portals?
Part 4: or am I screwed and should just run the traxxas 400 in the trx4 until it blows (apparently that will happen in short time according to posters) and I should invest in a redcat specific servo and then later get the servo everyone recommended for the trx4?
I want to apologize for the entry level question, but RC electronics are so new to me.
