[DougStar]

grrr looks like ill have to import some

 

[evssv]

obv others r available but these r very good servos imo......jus stay away from jumbo savox`s as there imo....I killed 2x in my 5ive and its not like I abuse it.....

 

[Whoduh]

I was just gonna ask the same thing about those servos.
and +1 on the hitek 845's - 840's.
I got 2 845's for steering and an 840 for throttle/brake on the 5ive B.

 

[evssv]

soon adds up these things when done correctly........but if ur gonna do it...do it right the first time

 

[DougStar]

was having a look on DDM at the hitech servos 845 and 840 and the website says that you have to mod the radio tray to get them to fit?
@evssv and @Whoduh is this true and if so can you show please

 

[evssv]

I had to use sum 3-4mm spacer to raise the 845 up in my 5ive....20180117_221306 by evssv, on Flickr
I made sum out of sum Perspex I had here...20180117_210325 by evssv, on Flickr20180117_221242 by evssv, on Flickr

I did not install any spacers on the 5ive B. There is still space under the throttle servo. Also I think if i put spacers on the throttle servo it would sit too high for the servo brace to work right....i could be wrong.... I might try a spacer just to see.
The only mod I did with the servos is I had to cut away part of the 840 servo case in order to get the RC Rock Armour servo brace to fit on the throttle servo.

 

[DougStar]

ah im with you thats such a minor mod easily done @Whoduh and @evssv thanx

 

[DougStar]

hi all so im in the market for a lipo for my rig.... looked on ddm and thought since im getting the killer bee kiil switch id have a look to see what killer rc had on offer. what do you think of this ? who has one?

 

[Whoduh]

Im pretty sure that battery has the same dimensions as the stock 5ive T battery(kind of what Killer RC made it for) and it will fit in the 5ive b...I'll take some picks of the stock 5ive t battery when i get home.

 

[Whoduh]

To add to that....it has a higher capacity than the stock 5ive T battery (5200mah vs 7200mah) and the killer rc is cheaper too.

[evssv]

not even 20quid for the pair

 

[Whoduh]

Yeah.....thats the other option....but he asked about the killer rc battery specifically...

 

[Gamefan]

What about LiFE batteries?
