My whole point was simply that a servo saver is not needed and there is no such thing as too strong of a servo. | |

So about waiting for aftermarket parts... Let’s see how this goes! |

Just as I've removed the servo savers on my two Rusty 4x4s, and my Sl4sh (my race vehicles never came with servo saver), and replaced them with aluminum steering arms, the servo saver can be tossed, as I'd just program the endpoints. I knew I took a few days off from work (primarily to 'decompress' from several super-busy weeks, but also to finish building the 22T 4.0), but I hadn't realized my brain also took a few days "off". ~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place | |

Correct. You need the arm length to get to the push/pull portion with sufficient play for the range of motion needed. |

Knowing that Axial & Losi worked together quite closely on the Capra, having posted, myself, several part number comparison (where Axial just "renumbered" certain Losi/TLR parts, and having read others having confirmed Carissa "shared parts", that's why I figured there had to be aluminum Losi/TLR horns that were equal. As for some of my earlier posts/questions, those of you already established in crawlers should expect as much...you were all newbs at some point, and (probably) asked the same "I haven't got a clue" questions. For those with 'patience', who are willing to take the time to thoroughly answer newbie questions, on behalf of all newbs (past, present & future), thank you. ~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place Last edited by Panther6834; 10-01-2019 at 12:48 PM. | |

Being familiar with Losi/TLR, I thought I recognized the sizes of the two horns, and started comparing them to my TLR parts. The DIG horn is identical in length (hole-to-hole) to the horn in my 22T, and the same for the steering horn, when compared to my 8ight-XE. While I'm positive the 8ight-XE horn will fit for steering, I'm only 95% certain the 22T horn will work on the DIG. The length is correct, but I had to estimate on the height. I'll find out for certain when I get to that step. Even if it ends up not working, it won't have been wasted money, as I'd still be able to use that horn when I go to build the 22SCT. ~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place | |

Also pure coincidence comparing the servo arms as no TLR/Losi parts have been renumbered by Axial... I should know, I created them all The only thing we have shared are the 23T/25T servo insert for the Steering servo arm. Other than materials, nothing from Losi/TLR has been used on any Axial vehicles. I'll add that we are changing the part number system for Axial to match Losi, Vaterra, ECX and TLR with 6 digit numbers but that's going to take some time for all parts to have this new system. Just want to make that clear. Last edited by Rich Trujillo; 10-01-2019 at 04:02 PM. | |

One of the things I really enjoy about RC is the ingenuity of those involved, and how (most) people are willing to help others...even those they're competing against. To give you an example of both...on the same vehicle, no less...I have a Rustler 4x4 that's almost finished going through a "conversion" (not yet ready to disclose, but it will appear in the Traxxas forum soon). For the 'ingenuity' side, it now contains parts from several different vehicles, some of which are from Horizon Hobby-based vehicles. As for the 'helping others' side, while some of the parts ideas were my own, other parts were suggested by other people trying to help me with my "project". To be completely honest, I REALLY like HH-based builds. The manuals (despite a few errors here & there) are very well-written, parts are organized in the best way possible, the quality of materials is excellent, and customer service is top-notch. Using TLR as my primary example, Frank has, a few times, gone 'above & beyond', assisting me in some difficult-to-find info, and providing me with more info than I had even expected. If Axial follows the same, I have a strong feeling that I'm going to not only be very happy, but, when it comes time to select my second crawler, that increased the probability that the second will also be an Axial vehicle. ~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place | |

Ps32 "corsa gray" as the primary, ps62 "pure orange" secondary, separated with 3mm stripes of ps5 black. I've got a few other ideas brewing, but that'll get it on the trail so to speak, and I've been wanting to use corsa gray on something for a long time.

Well...decided I start the build tonight, after all. Just finished the front & rear axles. Went together smooth as butter. With minor interruptions, took about an hour. ~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |
