| servo noises on my mrc
I started to drive my stock mrc and when ever i turned right the servo would make this horrible grinding noise and so whenever i turn right it is really annoying. Why is it making this noise? Do I need to buy a new servo? Please help! |

time for a new servo. those little guys are great for a while but dont last forever. i would switch it out for a fullsize.maybe a hitech 645mg. plenty of power and easy to make a mount for it.

No, not without modifications. Any servo of the same size will work, provided it has enough torque...

I have 5 or 6 battery packs thru a hitec 225mg with flatirons and weight in the wheels and it has not given me any problems at all. Doesn't get warm either.

the hitec 225 isnt very strong find a servo of comperable size with the most torque you can afford

Yes. go with the 645mg servo...Usually can find them shipped for ~$30 Check Ebay. or you can look at towerpro 995mg servo. Very cheap and I've been running them lately. Using 4 right now. 2 for a super crawler and 2 for my 2 2.2 sized and they work awesome. Plenty power, not super fast but seem to hold up so far. It's been 7 months now.

| Hitec 645
I have been using a 645 on my MRC for 4 months and love it. You can use an Axial servo mount and drill new mounting holes on the plate. Lots more torque than stock servo.
