Defender nededs help with servo choice

[Edward531]

Sir,

I just want to ask what's the minimum torque reqirement for 2.2 crawlers..Im using an s3003 stock servo on my TLT based crawler and I feel its inadequate..will 4.5 kg of torque be sufficient for my application..its a single steering setup. Thanks in advance

if $$ is an issue, try the towerpro (chicken butt) servo, very well priced and has plenty of torque.

remove any and all servo-savers as well when you go to a metal geared servo

i run them on everything. they are good servos. especially for the price. 208 oz @ 6v and athey claim they will handle 8.4v havent tried that yet.

but thats how gears get stripped...i like to clue my savers with some thin CA that way if they do take a hard hit the glue will (hopefully) break saving the servo gears

what exactly is a chicken butt

Thanks for the replies..I just bought a JR 577 servo, I hope it has enough torque.How do I know if i running it as a 4.8v or 6v?my Tlt uses a 55lathe, 7.2 4200mah nimh, keyence esc w reverse, futaba am RX and the stock servo, JR servo is still in transit..do I have to connect the aux BEC thing that came with the reciever to make it 6v or is my current set up 6 volt already?Lastly, which esc should I use with my tLT, I have an LRP runner w reverse (not the water proof model, mines an old one 19t limit) that's in my other RC, since my keyence has no motor limit, i was thinking of swapping it with the one mounted on the TLT..I need more speed on the other RC.will the LRP able to handle the 55 lathe, because I read somewhere that some esc's have a maximum motor limit..sad thing is that the lrp is kinda old and no specs is available rom their site..thanks in advance
