Default New way to turn big tires

I have seen it done and know it works great.. so I guess it is not totally new, but could be to some

anyways

1/5scale servo with a 333oz-inch rating.... WOOT!!! FELL THE POWER
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXLWS8&P=0


anyone see any reason why everyone is not doing this?

look at the price

333 oz-inch for $40

or u could get a $100+ hi-tech that does maybe 200oz-inch...

Size- 2.6 x 1.18 x 2.25 in. (66x30x57mm)
Weight- 128g (4.52oz)

big deal 4.52oz added to ur rig... when that is still the lightest thing really...kinda

the size.... mounting maybe a issue... I'll find a way

Clod axles are big enough to mount one of these on, right?

I've got a "Large scale" Hobbico on my TXT. I can put it in a persons hand, have them grab the servo horn and turn the wheel and even my big azz uncle can't keep it from turning. They'll start breaking shiat real quick if you aren't careful though

The 100 dollar Hitec ones get about 333oz's at 6v. I was running them for a little while. They worked great.

I picked up some 1/4 scale Hi-Tec's that I was going to use, and even with a 3/4" widener/adapter on the wheel, the servo won't fit on the axle stay between the gear housing and the inner sidewall of the tire without having the tire rub constantly against the servo body. If you mount it vertically on the axle stay it would work, but then you have that 2.6" sticking straight up off the axle.....

If your in the market for large scale servos...I have 2 Hi-Tec HS-755MG's I will sell you real cheap. They are 200 oz @ 6v. and metal geared. PM me if interested.

I run 2 hitec 805 bb's 1/4 scales(same as hobbico cs-80) on my clod and allways have and LOVE them they are just big I started out over volting them with 7.2 and they would last 3 or 4 comps and burn up but since I started to run them on 6 volts I havent had any issues at all.They are allmost inpossible to break Me and heavy both have only broke one a peice and that was falls down hill on the vose to snap the servo horn off right at the case.

sounds like they work and people use them... like i said I knew some of u did just wanted comments

so u would recommend getting alum. hubs on my future clod axles before running one... any thing else it is hard on?

Thanks for all the comments guys

I have already made a topic for this servo and one of the answer is very interesting :

I do believe that it is a little larger in size than most 1/5th scale servo's, so may not be a good option for our crawlers.
Link to my topic: Anyone try Futaba S3306 (1/5 scale servo) ?

Personnaly, I will probably buy CS-80.
