No fear, there are allot of lesser priced servos with plastic gears. Most have a metal upgrade that you can get and upgrade. Check the manufactures website and see if they offer them. You should also check to see if your turning too gar one way or another. The steering should just reach the front arms with the steering stops.

ok thanks for youre time m8 that helps alot

 

[paul]

ive done it now got an upgraded servo now with metal gears in side but when i turn left and right ther is a metal bar wot touches the upper right frame and left should it do this

Are you asking if the steering stops should touch the front A arms? If so they should just touch them. If you over steer the stops into the arms the servo will struggle and burn up.

Depending on the radio you should be able to adjust the turning.

Good luck, keep us informed.

I would say there is a problem in your steering set up. The metal gear servos normally will have a gear or two in plastic so as to not take out the servo but a replaceable plastic gear. The gear is normally replaceable from the manufacture. How does your servo saver look? Is it broken? You may want to check it. Seems odd to go through the servos so fast? What servo did you get?

 

[paul]

il check it now

 

[paul]

servos

i think its a futaba one not show the power of it thougth wots the servo saver and i see some people are saying to put 2 servos in it for steering but i shouldent have to can you suggest any servos with al metal gears

 

[Bigger the Better]

What is the brand, model of the servo you are using now?

 

[paul]

hi im using the HITEC HS-5745-MG 1/4 SCALE DIGITAL SERVO now m8 and its seems solid

 

[paul]

had to modify a strip of plastic to radio plate for it to fit but 5 minute job really

 

[Bigger the Better]

Yup, know exactly the strip your talking about. Make sure the endpoints are set like in the video and you should be ok.
