FG Monster truck RHINO Digi 4 Steering Servo PROBLEM

[mik3y]

My servo saver is alloy.

BTW...I have a question.. How do the O Rings on the alloy servo saver work? Whats the principle of that in playing a role in the servo saver mechanism?

Hint: The effect of the alloy servo saver can be adjusted by the number of the used O-rings. The more O-rings are used, the harder is the
effect of the alloy servo saver.

Make sure you don't make it too stiff. If it doesn't give it will put the stress back on the servo/servos.

Do you think the same apply's to the
MCD Baja 1000 only needing on Rhino
and two... even one HV Hitech?

@BTB, when the steering servo's are disconnected from the servo saver, the servo saver turns like butter so its smooth. I just wanted to know what effect the O rings have? Like the manual says u can put more O rings for a "bigger effect" of the servo saver but i don't understand that because the servo saver O rings aren't really touching anything when the servo saver turns left/right.

CHECK Page 17 of the manaul to see what i mean.

Thanks

I hear that but I needed atleast one. Just got greedy and bought two.

 

[mik3y]

I bought 2 jr matchboxes for steering and throttle/brake servos. I also bought a new rhino and a servo current meter to make sure i can see the current draw from each servo when I hook everything up.

Post up pics of your rig mike

May want to check into getting some silicone tubing for your pipe instead of the plastic piece FG uses. Most have found the plastic to melt after a short time. I used some silicone tubing made for catalytic converters from the auto supply.

BTB, nice truck. I was looking for that gear protector that u have. Will it fit my competition truck also? Where did u get it?

 

[Bigger the Better]

That is a DTX Firehammer gear cover. Didn't last too long. I no longer run with one. With the comp model you wont have the issues the non comp alloy models have with flex. I had to take off some of the plastic so the rod would stop hitting it cracking it. Pain in the ars so took it off....

I finally got my MatchBox JR and set up my dual steering Rhino Digi 4 servos perfectly!! Im so happy

 

[KauseKaos]

thats good to know. my two servos came today. Not gonna hook them up yet. but i'm ordering the matchbox this week.

 

[mik3y]

I have a 2nd Matchbox JR for the Brake/Throtle servos which I am going to hook up this week.
