Question Two Clod Steering Questions

#1 Has anyone seen or tried a dual servo setup for the front on a Clod ?

#2 Do I need BECs at all for my setup

that I am running now??? :

Two Sidewinders/ Two 40t motors /Two Towerpro MG946R

I'm not too sure weather a BEC (or two) would improve the steering power dramatically ???

Thanks !!!

Yes, I believe it was Kamikaze who did a dual servo setup. You might find his build on it using search button

It will supply more power which in turn will improve your torque and speed of the servos. Not for nothing but it seems like an overall recommended item.

Define "dramatically?" I believe you will see an improvement. How much, thats another question.

Thanks dude, as far as I remember Kamikaze did that on a Berg that's why I didn't search for it ...I'll double check though

It's 13kg @ 6.0v and it's rated to go as high as 7.2v so get a BEC and program it for 7.2v and you should see a nice difference in power

Some of the race Clods use a dual servo setup:
