Here is a bit of information for those who may be thinking of changing your stock HPI servo to the Hitec HS-5745-MG servo.
First you need two more screws to attach the adapter that came stock with the Baja. You will find the info in your owners manual. (5B - pg.48)
You attach the adapter to the side with the center fitting on the servo holder. Do not tighten them yet.
Then remove the opposite side servo mounts on the servo holder. I used a red hot blade to melt them off.
Install the servo and adjust the adapter to work with your servo holes. Now tighten them. You may want to attach the opposite screws 1st so the servo cannot move when tightening the adapter. Wallah. done.
I did not like the stock screws and they seemed not to bite like they should (Felt stripped) so I used longer nuts and bolts to insure it could not move.
Major difference from stock!:cool2:
