Hi guys,


I just got my Rampage and want to be ready if something goes wrong with the steering servo, as I heard its not a really good one


Now, I have a spare Baja HPI SFL10 steering servo with metal gears inside. Will this servo do the job for steering the Rampage MT??
 
the steering servo is not good but the throtle servo is worse bet that goes first or that it hunts from new every ramp i have seen in aus has had that problem
 
The throttle/brake servo is JUNK!! get rid of it before it fails and could cause a run-a-way truck. The steering servo is really pretty good. I have almost a gallon of fuel though my MT and the steering servo is holding in there. But, if it does fail the HPI servo will work just fine!
 
The HPI servo will not drop in, it is about 3/8" too big. But, I just mounted one today with a simple mod. I will post pictures tommorrow. You need to extend teh throttle servo plate, so give more room underneath for the steering servo. The holes are already in the chassis for it.

Don't be fooled by the maximum torque listings on the baja servo the 5745 servo is digital where the baja is anolog the 5745 has more holding tourque and resolution both are better with the huge MT tires. They are real cheap compared to quality and hardly take any mods to get into the truck. I would buy one and save your spare baja servo for a backup on the baja. My .o2 cents for what it is worth.

Sounds like I got rocks in my steering servo, as soon as it cacks out a rhino digi4 is going in.
Funny that, my steering servo hopped right into the garbage too, must be a thing that they have:D

I forgot to take a picture before racing tonight. I'll clean it and take on Monday afternoon. It worked great though.

Tell us how the steering servo holds in up in the race too mate :D
 
I'm a rhino digi4 man, 383ozin initial with 205 holding and incredibly fast 0.1sec to 60. Torque figures are always listed for holding for these but I guarantee they are the most powerful servo apart from the tonegawa.

Jay,


Would the metal gears for the S5050 fit in the S3306; for and extra 69 oz-in I would do this option.


This option would also be less than the S5050, not bad at all...
