Hybrid servo!!!

[Rossco]

I applied a little bit of ingenuity today.....

The stock crappy steering servo (Poplar) in my baja had all it's teeth fall out...

So I made a hybrid with the electrics from the stock one (board,trimpot,motor) and the case of a Hitec HS 5745 MG.

(the Hitec was Sperera's old one that he fried the board out of......but the gears were still like new)

So....the motor gear had to be changed over(different pitch)...
the motor slotted straight in.....

But the board doesn't fit in the case..soooo....I extended the 3 wires to the motor & the 3 for the trimpot about 4 inches...and run the board in the receiver box instead.

Works like a charm!!

It's amazing what you can come up with when you run out of folding stuff!!!

Rossco, you're so innovative.. I love doing that kind of stuff too. For me the ideas come in the evenings when the hobby shops are closed and I know i can't go buy the stuff, so i have to make it..

What servo was it that the metal gears came out of ?????
5745...5755 ?????

Just for future reference....as the 805 bb's are damn cheap & quite grunty.

The 805 BB is about 40 bucks cheaper than the 805 MG.....you can normally find metal gear sets for hitecs on ebay and the likes for around 15 bucks.

hi mate. Yeah it is the hs5745mg.. Remember u have 2 enlarge the center pin hole In the hs805bb to accept the the slightly bigger 5745 pin.
