Steering Servo For 5T

[Zephyr]

What servos are you guys using for steering in your 5T? Mines a little heavier than stock so not sure the Hitec 845's 50kg torque will be enough for the steering

Hilantronics make a nice 62kg servo but its double the price of the Hitec https://www.rcmax.co.uk/product-page/hilatronics-hlt7000wp-high-torque-digital-servo

trying to avoid the dual servo setup as I don’t think I’d be very good at setting the linkage and trims up correctly lol

Get a bypass harness and use that. Makes life much easier.

Yep, and the mtxl dual steering linkage??

I've heard a few good reports on the Hilantronics, but have very limited first hand experience with them. One of the guys I run with just installed a pair in his Vekta.

I run a single 845 in one truck and have had a Hitec SGT1000 in the other truck for a number of years, it was expensive but has out lived many 845s and Savox in my mates rigs.

Dual d845wp for the win ?

You can use a single 845 if you wish. I tossed a single in my mtxl while trying to make its duel kit work in dbxl ( will not fit ). And it worked fine with that. Or splurge and put 2 in. It will fit in yours. 845 is the best servo around. Hear about those hilatronics being rebuilt a lot on the rc maxx vids. don't seem very reliable

What would I need to change on mine to fit the two steering servos?
I’ve seen this kit

You can do like @John did and get the L5B dual servo tray, but you will have to drill a couple holes in the chassis.

Have you just considered upgrading to the bigger hercules 72kg servo? It would be much easier to do than swapping everything entirely.

When the day comes I'm just avoiding dual servos and getting a massive one with a push/pull system ??‍

Hilantronics 72KG monster has been ordered, luckily I shouldn't even have to pull the radio tray out to change it over as the Hilan servos have a removable servo lead
