Servos!!!!

[logon69]

What is everyone running for a brake serve? I was thinking of upgrading to the JR DS8711. Their 400 in/lbs monster. My 200in/lbs airtronics doesn't work so good. Or should I go for the complete brake upgrades? What u think out there in forum land?

made sure your rear brakes area working smoothly first, be sure there is no binding going on thru the brakes and the linkages.


you may want to do the spring mod between the pads to limit drag, replace the spring at the brake adjuster with piece of fuel tube (though personally i find the spring works just fine if all else is properly setup.

you can also replace the D bushings in the brake setup with flanged bearings, this will allow the cam arm to work very smooth and take less torque to lock up the brakes.

im running the JR Z9000T in mean Green and the ACE 1015 in the hooters baja.

i can lock up the brakes with either of them once adjusted and setup.
the 8711 would certianly be up for the task, even if you had front disc brakes installed.

For me the mods with the JR Z9000T lock them up!:cool2:

What is the torque rating on that servo?

 

[Timmahh]

320 in/oz. the Z9100T is like 360, and the JR 8711 is 406.

is there a adapter to take a big servo in the baja to a std size servo like a JR Z9000T

 

[frumpy]

There is an adapter but it's for a different kinds of 1/4 scale servosYa can't use a std size servo for steeringhmy:

Here it is:
