| Need some help
Alright im planning a pretty big build. Ive already started collecting parts. ive got the tranny, and axles and such. But Im not sure on which servos to get. But I am thinking about getting a digital if I have enough doh left over after I get her running. Im gonna be running some moab xls until I can get some 40 series crushers. What servos would yall suggest I get? Thanks Cody |

What axles are you running? If there's space on the axles (or where ever else you're mounting the servo) I would suggest looking into quarter scale or giant scale servos. They have a lot of power and are pretty cheap, but can be a little annoying to mount due to the size...

Ok, those axles have some pretty big flat spots on them, so you should be able to rig something up... this is the servo im currently using: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXLN93&P=7 . I've liked it a lot so far, but it definitely needs an external bec to help power it...

4.8 volts per servo would be fine, but i would recomend getting something like the castle bec, it takes power from the main battery rather than reciever packs and it can be programmed to a bunch of different voltages

It connects to the power leads on the esc, and then plugs into the battery slot on the receiver, there's tons of info about them on here if you search about it
