Is it possible to set fron t and rear separately on FG. I am getting one with Hydro up front. Could rear be a set of mechanical but be setup independently of front ?
 
thanks

Thanks. Since I don't own one yet, How many servos in all the car needs ?

I believe 2 for brakes, 1 for throttle 1 for steering ?
Looking at futaba 4pk as the choice for radio..
 
3 mate, 1 for throttle and rear brake, 1 for steering or sometime's 2 , personal choice and 1 for front brake's.

4pk is what i am saving for, looks like a good radio...

Update your location buddy.
 
Thanks

Hi Super :)

I updated my location. Do you know if a Servo like Multiplex or ACE 1015 is good enough for steering or I would need to pair it up ?
 
Hey Tanadt,

You could use this to help with your setup, if you are not got a 3 channel transmitter or want to use the 3rd channel for the kill switch.

""Futaba's Multi Servo Adjuster is designed to be used with many of the larger models now using multiple servos to operate a single control function. It allows independent adjustment of the servo travel and direction.

You will need a largescale servo for steering like a Hitech 805/5745 or Rhino. The Ace 1015 is fine for Brake and throttle.
 
thanks

Would a FG 4wd baja have room for large scale servo ? Or could I use 2 ACE 1015 for steering ?

I am trying to put together the lsit of Items I would need so that once the buggy arrives, I start building it. I have my eyes on the futaba 4p radio so channels are not an issue

You can put 2 LS servos in for steering. The Comp version uses 2 or 1 LS for steering and 2 for the front and rear brakes. The 4WD RTR or ARTR uses 1 servo for steering and 1 for brakes and throttle.

For steering 1 good LS is fine and fro brakes and throttle a servo with at least 168oz will be good enough.

With the 4PK I would use 1 servo for steering, 2 servos mixed for your front/rear brakes and throttle and the last channel for a kill switch to the engine.
 
On my old buggy, I was using one large scale servo(Rhino digi 4) and ACE servo(1313/12.5kg) for throttle and brake and did the job nicely. When I built my MT, I just transfer all my electrics to their new home but I have added 1 more servo for my front cable brakes.

Futaba 4PK is in my wish list too................lol
 
yup the 4pk is a nice radio [ im very happy i brought one]
i have 1 steering servo [Hitec 5745 ] x2 servo`s for throttle/brake and front brakes [ x2 Hitec 5995TG`s ] and have the ignition cut on the 4th channel .
 
another related question, Does the Baja compition hydro come with both rear and front brakes and are both Hydro ?
