Will a servo rated for 130oz of torque be powerful enough to steer my TXT with 40 series moabs? thanks

yes

CoreyK · 11-29-2005, 02:30 PM

Thanks i wasnt sure.

i think 130oz is a little low. i think like 200oz and up is good

It'll be too low. You need someting much more powerful. Look for something in the much higher range, I run giant scale servos and they put out 343oz torque. The higher the better.

Maybe i should just get a 1/4 scale servo and aussies mounts, any other mounts? also today when i was playing with my TXT when i barely touch the thorttle it would kick into reverse then out should i adjust neatural ojn the TX forwarD?

Quite a few folks run Hitecs. I personally have had bad experience with multiple different Hitec's in my TXT, couldn't keep a set of gears in them as I would strip them out and I won't run a servo saver as I don't like the mushiness it creates, so a cheaper servo would end up being expensive by the time you buy replacement gear sets a few times at $20 a set. That is why I switched to the giant scale servos, these things are BEEF and there is no way you're gonna break them and at $29.99 for a servo and $4 for a gear set it's the only way to go for me on a TXT. However, they are HUGE and this may present a problem for some people, my other regular size servo that i would run in a txt and the one that I run in my TLT, and the only one I will buy from here on out is the Airtonics 94359Z. It's a $140 from Tower, I got mine cheaper from other places, but it's a brute and blows away the Hitecs, plus has a built in heat sink. After having it for awhile, I'll never go back to hitecs. Here's the link to both....

Also, check out out my thread in the TXT section "Chop, Cut, Rebuild........" You will see how big the Giant scales are.

I also run the 94359Zs, but the new high-torque "Rock Crusher" should spec out a bit better.
