    Large servo rebuild -maybe

    I bought a cheap one just to make sure everything else was working before going down the hole... Made my own servo mounts, new fuel lines and it fired up on the first choke-open pull. Crazy fast. Happy it works and won't run it again until I get a kill-safe.

    Large servo rebuild -maybe

    Thanks for the advice. That's a chunk of dough! Since I didn't pay much for the truck, I'll have to splurge. Much appreciated!

    Large servo rebuild -maybe

    Yeah well, just let the magic smoke out of one of the chips on the board so.... Who's your favorite servo supplier? Ha ha.

    Large servo rebuild -maybe

    Scored a Rampage MT (ID'd by the group) servo was seized and because I have more time than money, I opened it up to see what was wrong. Turned out the motor armature had wallered out the bottom of the plastic casing and putting voltage to it it would not spin. Opened up my random drawer and...

    Thanks, Yeah, I am seeing that now. One servo is more than what I paid for the whole shebang. I've got the old servo apart, board looks good, it seams the motor is seized. Ill have to figure out how the original dual setup worked. Thanks Rep, that's the plan bash it 'till it breaks and then...

    Thanks. It looks to be heavily modded. $150 for this and an HPI Savage, I figured couldn't go wrong and should be some fun bashing for my two boys. I am a Machinist and building replacement parts is half the fun!

    Thanks again, haven't popped the cover yet, just found a cold solder joint on the servo board. Everything is very clean and no screws are stripped. He wasn't the first owner, he couldn't get it going and it sat for years.... I've just realized that the stock set up was with dual steering servo's...

    Thanks RCEW, I was looking at the tranny cover (cracked) and thought that would be the first thing I machine a replacement for. Cheers!

    An old friend was moving out of town and I scored this truck off of him. It has good compression but a seized steering servo. I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me what it is. Thanks.

    Giant Half-Scale Build

    Someone pointed out that if you took a piece of paper cut it down its length and then again across the width you would have a quarter piece of paper. I never thought of it it like that but it makes sense. I thought because this is half as long as the full size it is half scale but now I see my...

    Giant Half-Scale Build

    Thanks Sean. It was a failure in one of the salvaged components, not something I made. So there is a bit of solace in that. JR, it is about 165 LBS.

    Giant Half-Scale Build

    Cheers. I went with this engine because of the built-in CVT, A 2-stroke would be better but then we need to shift gears. It is 70cc now. I plan on boring it out to 90. The beauty of building it yourself is that you can modify anything.

    Giant Half-Scale Build

    With the adrenaline pumping and a shaky trigger finger we it fired up for a proper bashing. Ripped pretty good until a steering glitch. Wiggled a few wires around and settled in for a full half hour run. Things were getting hot and the fuel was running low . I was about to call it a day when the...

    Thanks all. A rum vid? well, more into pints and the occasional Rye. Been busy with my boys and home jobs as well as being a coward. (What if something goes wrong...) Got a go-pro knock off, I've been out in the shop setting up. I also called the city to cut a patch of grass where I want to...

    Thanks JRRC! Got the steering hard stops welded in; Also made a hoist with an ATV winch to get it off the bench.
