Servo Saver ??? Maxx Crawler

[tapped-out]

Ok guys will using a servo saver help me from burning up servos I was running xtm servo cirrus p-cs704mg and burned it up.(not the gears) Bad servo or dose it need a servo saver? I'm going to replace it w/ hitec 645.
I'm using traxxas TQ3 no end point adjustments.
what servo saver should I get??

In a maxx, the 645 gears aren't going to last long. In our tlt, the gears didn't last long. If you run a servo saver, your tires won't turn in a bind, the saver will unload.

For a Maxx you should get a Hitec HS-5645mg servo. They have 164 oz of torque. But if you want to go all out and get the best of the best, get a HS-805bb 1/4 scale servo. These servos have 343 oz of torque!! Hope this helps, and good luck with your Maxx!

The 645 and 5645 have the same gears. I have heard good things about the 805.

Hs-805 any one have any pics of it mounted on a maxxcrawler?
and do you guys think this should be the last servo for this truck or will it break also.
thanks

Yes these servos do have alot of torque, but they cost over $100!! The 805s have 343 oz of torque for only $40 at Tower Hobbies. So you can pay $100 to get 333 oz of torque, or you can pay $40 for 343 oz of torque.

MY SERVO IS MOUNTED LIKE THIS I THINK I CAN MOUNT THE 805 THE SAME (KINDA) BUT I'LL HAVE TO CUT OFF PART ON BULKHEAD WHERE STOCK SHOCK MOUNT GOES AND LOCK A-ARMS ANOTHER WAY??? NOT TO HARD I HOPE.

[Krawler Freak]

your also buying quality with that money to so its not going to waste its worth the money IMO

It shouldn't break or strip or anything of that sort. I would tell you how well they perform, but the rig I have them on is not finished yet. Anyway, here is the pic!!
