|  I love my new money pit!!
Just fried my second 225 Mighty, watched as smoke rose from the back plate after like 3 minutes!! First mighty went with the stock ESC BEC but I now have a rooster crawler 12t. Replaced with the whinny stock servo and ran 30 minutes! Lots of power from the Hitec but I know I'm not the first one to do this. I feel like I just wasted $30 on a nice new METAL GEARED smelly box. I know asume the first Mighty fried the stock BEC and I'm just lucky my new Novak didn't! Just a warning for someone looking into this "upgrade" swap. Any body know were I can get a Lunch Box body? |

Nope, just crawlin the side of the couch and table cuse it's rainin'. I do have a lot of weight but the stock servo didn't fry just makes a noise when loaded and warmed up after a couple of minutes. The stock servo never acually even gets warm. Both the Hitec's got hot. Last edited by MiniVan; 09-21-2008 at 02:50 PM. |

It seems that the 225mg servo is just not designed to be held at full lock for more then a few seconds? The servo works great in 12th scale pan cars and I ran both a 225mg and 225bb in my micro rs4 and never had an issue! And all the burn up stories I have heard of have been when the servo was being used in a setup that would call for it to hold a full lock position. Badger has been using an 82mg in his MRC with good results he said. |

Definitly holding the servo close to lock at times but also lots of hard side load and back and forth, I would say standard crawin action though. As for the Rooster, more of a over kill at this time, but once rear steer, lipo, and a larger motor are all added it will equal out. The brake is awesome I do have to say. I will be making a full size servo mount front and rear this week, as well as mounting the frame hoops I made. I need to figure out how to post pics as I have tried to take pics through the process.

I just used the exploded view in the manual and ordered the parts from the front for the back. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I might be able to copy/paste my order, which will have several other things you may not want (I like to add extras to my toolbox just in case) but I think it should be pretty clear. |

The description is very vague. A few of the things on there were ordered because their individual parts (like the shocks) were on backorder and I have broken shocks that need to be fixed. The extra $ was worth not having to wait til it is 40 degrees out to use the truck again. |
