|  Weak MG645??
I am running a TXT with dual steering and dual Hitech MG645's. I run a SR and LST's on maximizers. The problem I am having is the even on smooth rocks the servos will not turn the tires until I move. I have an extra reciever pack and was wondering if I should use it for more juice or if I just have too much tire. Thanks for any input.

I dont think you have too much tire - just not enough servo Im my experience the 645s are mediocre. They do ok and are fairly inexpensive, but are not that strong, and gears seem to strip easily. I would try the receiver pack and see if it helps, but I think in the long run you will be looking for better servos. |

Yeah with your setup you need a servo at least in the 200oz. range.

Ok thanks. What is a good servo in that range or should I jump to a 1/4 scale servo?

Are you using a servo saver? The highest torque servo you can find isn't going to do any better with a weak saver.

Hitec 5955 has over 300 oz of torque cost 115$ You probably need to run a rx pack with these |

Keep in mind though,digitals are better off if you have EPA's on your radio. I run the 359's and love'em. |

You should make some mounts and run some giant scale servos. I run the Hobbico cs-80s on my clod and you can't stop them. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXLN93&P=ML 343 oz-in of torque for 30 bucks!  |

I have the same set up with the cs80 and also run a rx pack. This servo moves those size tire with authority.

I had some hitec 1/4 scales but sold em. They were crazy strong. I was just trying to keep a small serco. I have a rx pack so I guess I will step up to the cs80.

645MG's aren't good for much. Sell them now before they strip out, and you have to spend $15 each just so that you can sell them. I've got a 5995 in my Clod and love it, but like they said, you need EPA for digital servos. If you are on a tight budget, and can fab the mounts, I would seriously look into the 1/4 scale servos.

Well I ordered up some CS-80's. We will see how well they can hack it. Thanks for all the input.
