Wraith won't steer!

[jwalker497]

I have a pretty new wraith spyder and today the steering went. I'm not sure what the problem is but the tires won't turn left and can barely turn right. I'll have to take some pics but nothing that I can see is broken.

Sounds like the servo may have gone bad.......

Check the servo horn didn't strip.

My Cousin bought a new Poison Spyder not too long ago and the stock servo literally lasted 30 minutes....We were right down the street from our LHS when it happened and he bought a Hitec to replace it but Axial sent him a new Futaba Servo all he had to do was call them. Axial has great customer service

I went through two servos in about a hour the other day. Just stick axial servos though. Going to buy the holmes hobbies servo

You really had to ask if that is cracked?

looks like a clamping servo horn to me, look at the small bolt head on the left side at the top of the horn...

I would try a different servo, even borrow one from a buddy if possible...you can buy cheap servos online, I keep a couple cheap ones laying around for mock up and testing purposes

Hobbyking hxt10kg. Is an awesome servo for 9 bucks.
granted it does not say hi tech on it and it doest cost 100 bucks but is all metal geared and has enough power to steer 2.2s pretty good and ice found them to last a long life while being abused

[jwalker497]

So I need a new servo any cheap recommendations? I can't find the hobbykjng

Why do you insist on being spoon fed? A Google search of just Hobbyking hxt10kg turns it up in two clicks! I understand that it can all seem a bit daunting at times but at least put in some effort.

The new generation doesn't do work... There's others to do that for them... Unfortunately...

Same way on every forum that I frequent. Even new stuntriders( I stunt, so I say this genre), they just want to know how to do wheelies without having to wreck their bikes and get hurt. Sad days ahead... :(

Hobbyking has clamping metal servo horns for 4 bucks. My might also browse some 2s5000 mag batteries while your there.
there's also some cool all metal track star servos. 330 Oz for 30 bucks.

Good luck make sure you get the right spline count when ordering servo horns.

So all I need is a servo horn?

Here's the spoon. Actually took less time to find it and post the link than to bitch about your search methods.

HXT 10kg Servo (metal gear) 55g / 10kg / .16sec (AR Warehouse)

It's just a 138 oz-in servo, not much for a crawler. Can't see it turning 2.2's with any authority but it's cheap and may get you by until you're ready for something stronger. I'm sure there are other Hobby King servos with more torque if you want to upgrade

And FYI to the complainers, searching Hobby King's site for hxt10kg brings up nothing. I'm guessing that's where he started.
