I have been using the new JR 3421 high torque servo on my VF and have had no problems. It pushes 72 OZ @6v and will fit the same mounting bracket. I did burn up 2 Hitec servos back to back with no load what so ever on them. I still think its the Spectrum radio system for some odd reason. | |

That looks tight, and looks like it addresses the things with the SW3/AX10 axle combo Nice work |

I got the servo mount made up for my VF dig. I decided to stick with the standard servo I was using for the TLT dig. In an effort to keep weight low in the chassis, I managed to shoe horn it down between the rear driveshaft and the open motor side plate. It just barely clears the driveshaft and upper 3-link. In order to make everything fit I hacked the main chassis plate and hung the tranny out the side of the chassis, which also helped center the motor up even more. |

Brad, you always cease to amaze me!! If there's a spot, you'll find it. Thats a great idea, now you can use a standard servo for the dig. |

Nice! I like the servo mount I'm really surprised you fit a full-size servo back there... I can't even fit the MG-225 in that space on my rig  |

I am always trying to shoehorn everything on the skid as well... My FX-R should help a little, and some new carbon fiber servo/ battery mounts are going to help out on the axles. Now I just NEEEEEED to get an SWX!!

Well that is brilliant!! I was thinking also if I could get a straight pull on the VF unit it would operate alot more smoothly. Plus I also want to use a standard size servo. Now to figure the programming on my DX-6! Way to think B-RAD! |

Patrick, Maybe if we distract him with a safety meeting we can steal it and make copies! But then he would just build something better to kick our a$$'s! |

 Bender I would not take Mike's advice, he is not even competing. You run your rig your way  Matter of fact, I would boycott this upcoming event in protest of Mike thinking he is smarter than you! I personally would not stand for it | ||
