Vekta.5 steering

[Bajaripper912]

Does anybody have a cheaper solution for better steering on the vekta 5 with out double steering servo setup? Im running irp tire rod ends, turtle steering, and upgraded steering bell crank and it seems to lag big time. Everything is smooth no binding. Im really not trying to spend 350 to upgrade to double steering setup or 500 for a industrial servo. I just need it a little better with out breaking the bank to much. Any other ideas would be appreciated thanx

What servo are you running now?

 

[Bajaripper912]

Im sorry i forgot to mention that. Running stock kraken ts555 hv servo

Rated at 555oz/in of torque, IDK if you are going to find much stronger single servo. Seems like the dual servo setup is the next cheapest option
Or I could be wrong lol. Check this servo out
https://www.horizonhobby.com/Produc...p_category=&parent_category_rn=&storeId=10151
Over 1000 oz/in torque at 8.4v and 736 oz/in at 7.2v

Maybe its just me or im expecting better idk. Its just seems like i gotta come to a complete stop to actually make it turn reasonably. When im driving straight and want to turn it just sucks. It takes so long for it to turn around. I may just have to bite the bullet and do a double steering setup. Time to start saving up for that upgrade.

Are you using a lipo, liFe or mah battery?
That TS555V servo is rated @ 555oz @ 6v

 

[Bajaripper912]

Lipo

Look at the specs for jx 2060

 

[Bajaripper912]

For the price may pick one up and give it a try thanx

Go the dual servo you wont regret it in the end
Although youll be in for $250 for the upgrade
X1 kraken servo x1 full froce dual servo kit
Kraken is a nice platform and like all of them, they need some upgrading

 

[Whoduh]

could go dual servo setup with 2 of those jx 2060 servos he wants to get and keep the Kraken TS555v servo as a backup..I think i saw a post on here that said jx 2060's had somethin' like 800oz of torque?!?!
Does anyone have any good info/review on those jx 2060 servos? For under $50 bucks, are the specs for that servo real or are they bull ?

 

[DougStar]

For under $50 how long would that last?
We get back to you get what you pay for
Or if it sounds too good to be true usually is......

bull

YA id like to know too cuz 800oz is kinda ridiculous for under 50 bucks

Well someone has a YouTube video about the jx 2060 and I have one on my five with about 10 to 20 runs so far every thing is good can not confirm 800 Oz that is what it says on the box if and when they fail I will report back

 

[DougStar]

ah cool so you have 1

Watching a video on them now...speed wise, the hitec D845 is faster. A youtuber recommended some other videos on them too.

 

[Bajaripper912]

Im just going to dish out for dual steering with the hitec 845 servos and hope it gets better. I no its a heavy rig to begin with but i love the kraken platform. No regrets on purchasing one. But they do diffantly need some upgraded from the door thou but its part of the hobby.

 

[Whoduh]

Link to the video i was watching...its more about the Dark Soul piece but he has both the jx servo and the hitec hooked up at the same time.

Good info
