| Servo throw.
Has anyone used resisters to increase the throw of a savox digital servo to 180°? The only thing stopping my truck from increased steering is the servo, I'm aware Hitec has a unit that is simple to use for adjusting their digital servos but I dont believe savox does. I've seen people use resisters on standard servo potentiometers but would like to hear from someone who's done it with a digital unit. If not I guess I'll be buying a new Hitec, should this end up the route I go what is a good 500in-oz torque 6volt servo. Money isn't as important as quality but no need to spend it if its not necessary. Thanks gentlemen. Last edited by billy bones; 05-24-2015 at 08:28 AM. |

| Re: Servo throw. Thanks but I'd like to keep the savox if at all possible. I've been finding out hitec has great servos but I'd like to keep the 500in-oz at 6volts. If the resister method wont work with a digital unit I will go with the 7950th. That said I believe the potentiometers are the same in standard and digital units, a $0.99 cure beats a $150.00 one. Thank you again for your time and input. Last edited by billy bones; 05-24-2015 at 11:51 AM. |

What radio are you using . I used to have that problem till I found on my radio I could increase the servo throw from 100% to 150%. That savox should be able to throw 180° but the radio might be holding you back. I am using a spektrum dx3. If you are using a rtr radio then you probably won't be able to adjust that part
