installing new servos

[jonathan13]

Hey guys. I got my MT today. I know everyone's reaction is shocked at how big it is when they see it for the first time- I now share in that awe. It's GINORMOUS! Lol


Here is my question. What is the process of installing my new steering servo? I know it currently has 2. What needs to be done to change to this one new servo? I assume this has been covered so if someone could provide me with a link, I would be greatly appreciative.


I assume the throttle servo install is fairly straightforward since it's a one to one swap out.


Thanks in advance guys!

If you look under electronics, I asked this question. Heading is hitec 5765. I hope this helps.

Sorry probably can't see that but it was under hitec 645

Look for single servo saver and

I just change to a single servo and also switch to lipo I use this

But then you'll need a lipo charger hope that helps

Oh this is assuming you'll be using hitec servos that can handle the voltage

You guys got all the right answers, I need that battery. For now on I'll stay in my lane as a newbie.LOL

I am having trouble getting the 5765 to fit where the old servo was. The mount holes don't line up.

 

[jonathan13]

Does something have to be modified for this 5765 to fit correctly?

 

[jonathan13]

I found the thread on modifying the servo mount for the 5765. I will have to go snatch up a cheap dremel tomorrow.

Need to drill new top holes.

 

[rampage idiot]

If you use the aluminum servo mount the servo mounts right up

 

[jonathan13]

I went ahead and drilled new holes by hand lol. And used my dogs fingernail trimmer to cut off the top nubs lol

 

[jonathan13]

got it done. I am very proud of myself lol. I like how it cleaned up the truck and made it feel much less cluttered.

 

[claude bigelow]

Great job!!!

Looks good..

Went to Walmart today to pick up a dremel, as I am sure I will be using it for many things on this truck. I opted for the more expensive model and I must say it is a neat little tool.

I also picked up two Energizer AA battery chargers and some rechargable AA batteries for the radio.

I cannot wait to pick up some oil and get the killswitch so I can start running this beast.

 

[RampageHopUps]

A dremel is always needed in R/C. Don't buy cheap.

 

[jonathan13]

My thinking exactly. I figured I may as well go ahead and spend a little more now and have good quality that will last.

Does that hitec throttle servo come with that round horn?

 

[Guest]

DDM includes a free aluminum horn with a few of the servos.
