That servo will work if you are using our crawler with no wheel weights, but the moment you go to run any wheel weights, I would highly recommend a stronger servo.

Did I hear rumors of a new Venom servo with insane torque coming out soon?

I thought this thing was supost to have 40 degres of turning radius?
I have a HItec HS-645MG on mine and it dosent seam to turn at it full potential

Make sure you have your EPA's at 100% and that you have a sufficiently long arm. I'm running the servo above on mine and I am getting 40 degrees out of it.

I thought that I did set the EPA's when I set it up but ill check again. Firsts RC that I have had so im still learning. The speed controler wouldent have any thing to do with it would it? I have a Tekin FX-R on it now, had I know it needed computer soft wear to really tune it I probably wouldent have gotten it.
I have been playing with the arm length but it really dosent seam to work. The directions said use a 21mm arm, I have even went slightly longer but no luck.

here is how I currently have it set up. Used and Axial 30 degree bent lower link (trimmed to fit) to make the arm. I know the hard core guys might frown on it but I though the rear mounted rod end would contact the servo and limit steering movment.
