I love the Cirrus servo! Tons of torque and no problems. I was foolin around w/ the tuber in my living room and, on a slight incline, the servo lifted the whole truck with ease. A futaba servo horn will fit right on it.


New shoes....New Shoes..... NEW SHOES..... oh I love my new shoes

I just mounted mine in my TXT K2-3L and I'm having hangup issues with it. I'm running a LRP AI Runner ESC and I don't think it's able to handle the amp draw from the servo. If I get into a tight spot, wheels turned up against something and give it throttle, nothing happens.

I can go into reverse barely, but I usually have to pick it up, so the servo can recenter and everything works again. I probably need something more than the 5V/1.5Amp BEC on the LRP. I'm going to try my Mamba Max in it tomorrow and see if that works.

Thanks, I'm trying man! Whenever I saw RocJoc's TXT tube buggy and met Boyer at MJ, I was really inspired to start building tubers. I'm gettin better, but I'm still learning.

Yeah John, it is a STEEL CITY thang

The shock is almost fully compressed at rest. and when I drove it tq twist was killin me.(you can see in the pic where I was climbing the rock) After I put the spring in it corrected it. Only thing is it leans to the other side now at rest. I still need to tweak it a bit. This is my 1st try at a "droop" type suspension, and I'm still in the learning phase.

How did you get the Jato shafts to work with the steele pede yokes? I bought a set to use on my crawler and the holes in the jato shafts are larger than the "u-joint" for the pede steele yokes.
