my t1000 throttle servo i noticed is getting kinda weak..what would be a decent upgrade?something a little faster in strength and response than the stock one
 
I am running a Savox 1256TG that I beat up in a crawler before putting it in mine and so far it has done a great job, I did plasti-dip it just to be on the safe side.
 
the 5755 will require some modding, i have one on mine, but i got the PA metal mount, and a set of servo clamps. only mod is, to drill out the mount holes in Rx box a lil bigger just nuff to fit the larger diameter bolts used to mount the PA to RX. and you may have to use a lil longer servo mount bolt if you use the clamps like i had to do. the PA mount fits the 5755 perfectly.

when positioning the new setup if you go this route, try to keep the servo output shaft as close as you can to original postion as old one was. side to side. one side of PA just like old mount is wider.

5755 is a LARGER servo will not work for throttle/brake, that why i used the 7955

PA mount is on DDM

ya know i never paid attention to that, i had just read it was a great servo to use for throttle/brake cuz of torque, and titanium parts inside it.

In a standard motor like the one in the HS605 servos, there is an iron core between two permanent magnets. Around this core is the wire winding. The core generally has either 3 or 5 sections. As the core moves, these sections cause the core to hesitate slightly when it reaches a different magnetic polarity. This is called ratcheting. Because of this ratcheting, the cored servos have less start up torque and a wider dead band.
In a coreless servo, there is no iron core. There is one permanent magnet around which is a bell of wire. When electricity is supplied the bell spins around this magnet. Since there are no sections or core, there is no hesitation between poles. This gives the coreless servo better start-up torque and resolution.i just had to find out lol:w00t:

nice. the 7955 is a great servo for T/B apps on these scale trucks/buggies tho, it wont disappoint.

well im ordering the team chase cage from ddm..my throttle servo feels like its just not cutting it on the t1000..so im going to take your advise and get the servo...THANKS!!!!!
 
that 7955 will drop right in, and youll like it, if your radio will allow you to set endpoints or sweeps of servos set them low to start with. i found out hard way on the 5755 for steering. the upgraded 4pks radio i got had endpoints set to 100 both ways. was too far, cuz servo when hooked up the steering wouldnt actually go full 100 to each side, so first time i turned a wheel and held it for a couple secs, it fried the servo. hitec replaced it for free,

so after doing some reading up, i found out to set the endpoints to like 50 to start with and increase a lil each time till wheels were at full turn and no strain on servo. did this on each side, and no probs since.

i had to lower the T/B endpoints as well, and work my way on each throw till it ended where it needed to be at. hopefully your radio will let you set endpoints.
