nice work mike!
my hitec 5755 has just melted,lol, while at ndor so i might put my tonegawa in or i have a spare hitec, but im definatly loosing patience with the hitecs at the mo!
just to let you know, ive been down nottz/derby last few weekends trying to get into this track action, im really enjoying it at the moment, got a few of my mates involved too which is good!
obviously its very different from bashing,but id like to do both, see how things go for now.
 
Damn Mike,
You're a racer so you 'have to' take care of these things but are you certain that steering rod doesn't catch the upright mount - looks very close? !!

Nice job 'though.

Regret selling my ventilated Tonigawa I suppose, 'though a Rhino is more than enough for what I need for on-road.

there is plenty of room for everything to move and nothing to get even close to catching. This servo is not only oddified but a special oddified and it is the dogs danglies. Unless 40meg radio stuff was suddenly unavailable, I'd never have another steering servo in my off road car -it's that good.
 
Nice looking mounts. What is the speed of that servo?

This is the standard details, once the servo is "oddified" it's far faster and uber reliable. When I get hold of Ian, I'll ask him for the figures. I used to use one on my on road race truck, it was that good, I bolted the servo saver up and never broke anything.

The data below show calculated figures, not measured one.
Constant torque ≒ Stall torque x 1/6
Example:
10.5 N・m(107.7kg-cm) in stall torque at Input Voltage 8.4V
9.6 N・m(92.4kg-cm) in stall torque at Input Voltage 7.2V
7.5 N・m(77.0kg-cm) in stall torque at Input Voltage 6.0V
6.0 N・m(61.6kg-cm) in stall torque at Input Voltage 4.8V
The operating speed and power vary with input voltage.

Revolution Speed of horn at 60deg in input voltage 6.0V is 0.3/sec
PS050 may be mounted on over 3 to 4 meters class wingspan plane.
Dimensions L100mm W44mm H93mm Weight 290gr
The output shaft is supported by two large-diameter ball bearing.
JR connector is used. This can be also connected to FUTABA and other receiver.
 
Thanks Mike. I all ways thought stall torque is much more important then standing torque. Companies like Hitec do not list stall torque have to wonder why? I never been a big fan of Hitec! I do not like the fact that Hitec bought out Multiplex and makes a copy of the Digi 4 just do not think the quality is the same. Glade I have a spare Multiplex Digi 4 but the one I have in my 5b right now has not given me a problem in the years I have been running it.

Putting a Tonegowa in by 5b would not be practical do to its size but want to learn all I can as well as keep my options open. Nice job on yours!
 
5B I guess is the buggy? You're probably right that it won't fit due to the size and getting in the way of the body work but wouldn't in be possible in the truck version?
 
Hi Mike, as a racer, is the Tonegawa going to be pushing your battery capacity to the limit, bearing in mind the long race times of Large Scale - have you tried an 'endurance test' to see how the battery holds up?
Do you have spare batteries lined up for such circumstances during races?
Just a thought,
Al.
 
I've run 1/2 hour finals on road and off road and I've never had a battery going flat. I've always used something like 3800 nimh pack or bigger. I have 2 packs every season and swap through the day. on a race day, I charge my radio and rx pack between races as a matter of habbit more than anything else. bear in mind, i used to use 2 rhinos and 2 20kg savox servo and never had issues there either. I have done a full tank (35-40 mins ish) when I got carried away recently on a practice session.
 
Sounds good - just a thought.
2x Rhinos and 2x 1256TG's - same as my MT!!
Is LiPo allowed in racing? I run an LRP 5Ah LiPo with 10A regulator.
Too fancy for bashing I know, but that's the beauty of the hobby.

Most of the guys I know are using sub C nimh packs or lifE packs although there are the odd one of two who use lipo (some on road racers too) but for me and most racers we use - KISS - keep it simple stupid.

No the truck is basically the same as the buggy just has extensions on the side but the chassis, radio box and so on are all the same. Do not think it will work in them either.

As it's under the bigger shell, you could move things round like the radio box, throttle/brake servo and front brake servo.

i saw ian a few weeks ago, i asked him to oddyfy my tonegawa, he said it makes it exactly twice as fast, i think its normally .20 at 60 deg, so twice as fast, i have a 7.2v and 8.4v,which the tonegawa can be run,so even quicker, thats fast enough for me, i still haven't installed mine,its brand new,

you can run the tone off its own battery supply,a small hump back is perfect!

You could but it would be pointless as it runs perfectly well of the 4600 pack I use for everything else. I've run them for years and never had an issue with them, ok in the past we didn't use such powerfull servos for brakes and such but as the servos got more demanding, we just got a larger capacity pack, same size & weight.

a seperate battery is one more thing to go wrong and another thing to charge.
