A good choice would be the Hitec 645, but really any standard size servo should work. Lowest torque I have used is arould 67 oz./in., but lower torques should work the dig fine too.

anyone cease a rear output? I ceased the rear output where the rear cog is bolted to the back of the dig case. that little brass bushing/bearing ceased and is now oblong, was wondering if we can get these under warranty? possibly get replacements?

This is the very first instance of any wear we have been informed of, with out being able to inspect the break down, im wondering if any lube was on the output, not that it should need much at all but we may require a touch of a grease there to help prevent this. or is it possible the bushing was loose ? anyways i have contacted mr khwillams and new bushing and output is already in the mail, he will get it tomorow.

gunnar I tought you were running a MIP in the rear? Did you change

it cause the new mount?

Dose the micro have the power to shift when the dig is bound up?

 

[gunnar]

I had the MIP's on the rig for only a few days. So far the 'Pede shafts are working fine. I stressed them pretty hard, and no breaks as of yet. I could make the mount fit any shaft, I wanted it low, so there is about 1/16" clearance for the driveshaft. The micro servo works fine, yes even when bound up.

Looking at the servo arms the dig must require a lot of travel?

Good deal man thanx. "thumbsup"

I think the full movement of the dig arm is right around 13/16" or so. That probably is it's worst trait, it does take a small amount of time to engage, but the function of it outweighs the traval time, IMO. I wouldn't mind seeing a shorter arm option though, maybe 1/4" or so.

I made myself a servo bracket for a Hitec 225mg .Did this to stay away of the driveshaft, less weight and the servo has more than plenty of torque.

So would the aluminum tranny housing bolt stright 2 this dig or is modification needed? thanks-jp

 

[gunnar]

There would need to be some modifications made. The dig is made to fit the stock housing. Unless your aluminum tranny housing matches the shape of the stock housing, it might not be best to try to adapt it. The easiest way would be to cut the top part of the dig off, using only the two lower bolts to attach. Also the left rear screw boss area might need to be relieved on the dig housing(screw holding the tranny to the chassis). Some filing might also have to be done on the tranny housing to mate up the two parts.

 

[SCRC]

Sounds like IM just better off going with a plastic tranny housing again. thankyou for the info. Just ordered one.
