| 10-12lb wraith: Servo Specs
I am getting closer to having all the parts for my wraithzilla. I just need to order my HH electronics and servo. I have a hitec 7954 in an ebuggy I may use but I was also looking at this (see link). The question I have is, this is a "tall" servo and is 8mm taller than a standard size. I don't have my chasis mounted up yet but just by looking at the servo mount and axles it looks like it won't matter if the bottom of the servo sticks out a little further in towards the center of the chasis. Is that true or will it interfere with something on the cage when I mount it? It is a Mattzilla frame, not stock. https://www.amainhobbies.com/savox-s...1231sg/p234359 Also looking at some other servos (1270, 1283) and also the HH HV500 but the savox servo specs are almost as good as the HH servo and up to $30 less in some cases. |

You can get any servo, you might have to make a custom mounting plate but that's not a big deal at all. Get the servo you want and then go from there.

Not sure how much you want to spend but I use this servo in my wraith... it's high voltage and titanium gears, also water resistant. https://www.amainhobbies.com/savox-s...1270tg/p187714 use this one in my SCX10 mudder truck little slow but 500oz of torque at 6.0volts not to bad http://www.ebay.com/itm/Savox-SA-123...wAAOSwX~dWkF2v Sent From My Galaxy S6 Edge+ Last edited by sharkattack99; 06-21-2016 at 09:38 AM. |

Yea I was going to use one of those savox servos. It was just the one I originally posted was slightly taller than the std size servo. The lemgth and width is standard so it will mount up to the VP servo mount I have but I wasn't sure if there was something behind the servo where a slightly taller servo would cause interference. But sounds like it won't. The ones that are .12-.15 speed you can't really tell it is slower can you? My race buggies have ones that are like .07 but I did have one in an 8th scale buggy that was like .12 and it didn't really effect me. I figured for something like trail riding you would mainly need torque but speed wouldn't be a huge factor. Would that be accurate?

I put a Promodeler in my Wraithzilla and it's been working out great. It's mounted to a DCW DeWanger and I have zero clearance issues.

That's good to know you're going to be rocking the Vanquish mount. I currently have that one piece mount with the Savox 1230 mounted. as you can see (even though you have different axles) you shouldn't have any clearance issues. | |

| Re: 10-12lb wraith: Servo Specs Quote: So that is the one with 500oz/.16 sec right? How is the speed on that thing? It's a slower speed servo but like I said before, can you even tell? Or does it work good? And there is no issues with the extra height? The 1230 is slightly taller than standard too right? Last edited by slapjack; 06-21-2016 at 09:12 PM. | |

Yes it is the 500oz servo. I think the speed is perfect for trail driving and crawling. Even at high speeds (for a wraith) I don't notice a difference. There hasn't been anytime where I've thought "man, I wish this was .07 faster on steering." A lot of people believe that you need to have a fast servo for trail rigs and crawlers but in truth you don't. You just have to drive smarter I currently have two of these servos on my rig for 4WS and they've been going strong for over a year with no issue. I have put "liquid tape" across the seems to waterproof them as well with no heat issues. One thing I highly recommend though is to purchase a RX bypass from Holmes Hobbies and a Castle BEC 10amp set to 6v. That way you're getting constant voltage and not killing your receiver. It is noisier than all other servos, but to me I like that. The extra height is no problem at all. I too run the Vanquish single piece servo mount and they move the servo back about 5mm from the stock mount. Which if my memory serves me correctly, is right about what the stock position is anyways. Hope this helps. | |

I've run through creeks yes. But its a good idea to do the conformal coating as well.
