| Alturn USA Servo's
Hi, I bought two servo's for the Bruiser 3speed which I didn't receive yet (grrr!) but I'm a little unsure about my choice. For the steering, I took this one: ADS-987HTG+HV / Full Size High Voltage Servo +HS+TG (Ultra High Speed & High Toque) For the gearbox this baby: ADS-960HTG / Full Size Racing Digital Servo +TG (High Toque) The servo's are quite heavy and got a full metal housing (except for the bottom cover), coreless motor, metal/ titanium gears, dual ball bearing... I'm not familliar with servo's but these ones look quite nice for the money. So did I made the right choice for my future scale truck? |

You need to swap them around, and you'll have an ok setup, but both are not ideal these days. 300oz+ iof torque s minimum these days for crawler steering |

I disagree, 300+ is minimum on a comp rig...This thing is a scaler 200+ is more than enough to get the job done. Hell in 1:1 crawling unless you got some steering upgrades chances are you are going to get yourself into situations where you cant steer. | |

Alturn USA cooperation made in Taiwan Put the stronger servo on the steering. I agree, 200 oz-in is plenty for a scaler. 300 oz-in would shear off the pot metal steering on a Bruiser axle me thinks. |

In the future check out Hitec and Futaba servos. They are the two biggest servo manufactures so they should be available just about anywhere. | |

Btw: the ADS-986HTG-HV has the same price as the ADS-987HTG+HV, so if I can do an exchange, it would cost me nothing. It's true that I will not do anything serious with the scaler (no competition), but I want it to be 100% reliable. | |
