JR ds8711
 

I have a ds8711. I had it in my wraith...it would shut the whole truck down if it got in any bind. mamba max pro esc. noticed that there was a lot of play in the servo mount....all ears busted off case....then searching for parts i see its aircraft only....

So what does a guy do ? just junk it did I burn it up? worth putting new case on?

The BEC in the Mamba Max Pro is only three amps, 8711 (which is a very popular crawler servo) draws about ten amps in a bind. You need to add a Castle BEC, that will stop the shutting down issue and will be a must with any decent servo you run.

So, buy a new case and a BEC and have fun.

+1, most cases are easy to find & cheap. Add the CC 10A BEC and go have fun."thumbsup"

Check out ServoCity for parts.

servo city didnt have the parts...but its all good info thanks

If you're in the USA, I know Tower Hobbies has a reasonable selection of parts, you can also try the Mfr direct.

PS, I use #10 steel flat washers between the screws & the servo mounts to spread the loads to prevent breakage. Cheap & easy.
