I think I need new steering servos, my truck when full throtle doen't turn as good as if I was off the gas. Hitec is about 70 per servo, are there any other comparable steering servos out there for less (digital with metal gearing)
 
Airtronics has a servo that you can try here's the number 94780 specs 6V torque 423 in. oz. speed 0.15 sec tower hobbie price 117.99 :eek: or the 805bb for 40.00 that is what i run with plastic gears and it has done fine on the track

I think you might be confusing it with the 5645?

Racetruck i thought the throttle servo was a standard size servo not the same as the steering hum???

You are right the T/B servo is standard sized, the 5755 is a "large scale" servo

does the 5755 fit the stock location ok or does it need modifying

This seems to be brought up quite often. Has anybody made a write-up for installing aftermarket servos on any of these vehicles? I think it would be helpful.
 
I have a post on RCU where I explained the mods. I will copy/paste it into this thread in the morning when I get off work.
 
some specs of the 5755 size


347 oz in 0.15sec at 6v


2.32x1.14x2.04


specs for the 805bb


343 oz in at 0.14sec at 6v


2.59x1.18x2.26


The 5755 is a large scale servo but it is a bit smaller as you can see in the specs i hope this helps i hav'nt tryed a 5755 in place of my 805 so i'am not sure if it would bolt up in the same bolt pattern as the 805 :D
