Upgrade steeringservo

[Relic-1]

My plan be was to upgrade my steering servo on my vekta , I don't want to go to double steering just a better servo , if that is even a option with thetrepodore tires I put on , I expected the need for this but not the double steering , any vekta owners know a good upgrade , besides the $600 devorced causing method ?

I put in the savox 0235 and my steering works alot better then stock kraken servo. Try upgrading servo first and see how you like it.

I geuss I'll go with the two craken server set up ,balanced system seems to be a popular choice and financially possible ,then it's the steering nuckles , I'm wondering the importance of metal upgrades a arms , I'm not out to win any self comforting awards or plaques or badges I just don't think there nessasary are they that much of a change ?

Careful with dual servos, if they are not perfectly sinks they will fight each other and burn out.

As far as aluminum arms, there not needed and much more expensive to replace than stock ones. You want a breaking point somewhere, arms are cheap and good to break instead of a chassis or something more expensive

I really believe that the play I have is the cause of the nuckles being stressed , they Creek n squeek n there's some play in both , so I'm doing those fore sure

I been running dual Kraken servos for a while now with the Maxxis tires.
The setup of the linkage is very important. Play with both sets is a good thing. When I first set then up they got tight at full travel causeing my slave servo to run hotter, I found the sweet spot in the adjustment. At this point in time all my servo heat issues are gone and the linkage has good play in both directions at full travel and continues to turn on a dime.
Good Luck with your setup.
Best Regards,

Jus use sum shims to take up the play...simples

Is this full force dual servoe kit the way to go ? I didn't care for the way the brake throttle kit went on couldn't use one of the pieces

 

[William E Burrows Jr]

I cannot give an opinion on the Full Force setup, I went simple using the stock Kraken servo and their dual steering servo kit.
So far its works.

I never thought that rout, I'll inquire on that

I have the double steering servo kit on mine with 2 Losi servos and love it.
