do not go with the 805bb cause it's got plastic gears and they won't hold up. i run the 805mg in mine and it works great. never had any issues with the steal gears and lots of torque. and it fits like a glove.

Kreb: I have been running 2 805bb's in my MT for 3 years with no problems. I don't run my MT hard though.
 
For the extra couple bucks its worth the upgrade. Run your truck alittle hard and you will want the steel gears. Do you have your servo saver as soft as possible?

No, I have it tight enough to at a standstill turn the front tires with ease on concrete. But I do have two to share the load though. So far so good. :)
 
sounds good that they fit i just had no clue if it would fit or not

and no hobby stores had any of the large scale size servos i don't know why lol
 
i had an 805bb in both my baja and xb and the same thing happened to both. 1 bad crash and the plastic didn't do to good. i put the steel gears in and haven't had a problem since and i can honestly say i haven't been all too easy on them either.

You do have to do a bit of modification to get the 805bb's to fit but nothing big. Just extending out the mounting brackets, drilling a few holes etc...

Kreb: I did notice the conversion kit you can get to upgrade. I'll keep that in mind. I guess I've been lucky so far :D
 
Kreb: I've got an MT so I had to extend the length of the mounts a bit, and shim the receiver box and under the throttle servo to fit the bb. Also I had to drill 2 holes in the chassis because of the length and trim the stock plastic servo mounts to fit the bb's mounting holes. It sounds like a lot of work but it wasn't too bad.

i'm sorry, i had xb on the mind. they fit perfectly in them. i have a mt roller i bought but haven't started to rebuild it yet so i haven't found all the mounting issues with it yet.

Yes, the MT will have to be modded to fit the HS805 BB. The Xb/t is a newer platform/car. I assume it already the space to fit Hitec servo's unmodded.
