TRX-4 build questions So, I'm planning on buying a TRX-4 Defender. I've read that the servo isn't good and that if I change the servo I should really get a BEC. These are the applicable things that I have sitting around already from my other RC cars and helicopters:
My (wife approved) limit is £600 and given the above, my plan at present is to buy the following (prices that I know that I can get them for are in brackets):
For the moment, I'll not be taking it through any water, so waterproofing of the UBEC and bypass cable are not a concern right now. The reason why I'm planning on getting the bypass cable is so that I can use the UBEC to power the steering servo alone, the ESC will still power the RX and diff-lock servos. That way, when I get a waterproof Castle BEC or something, I can up the servo voltage to 7.4V whilst keeping the RX and diff lock servos at 6V. On the servo front, I'd rather stay with Savox since I've been really pleased with them and not had one fail on me yet. Here are my questions:

Re: TRX-4 build questions This sounds like a solid plan. I personally would not by the adapter for the esc, I would chop the Traxxas connector off and solder on a dean. Maybe add an extra jst connector for the bec. |
Re: TRX-4 build questions That's a fantastic idea. I think I'll do that. Am I better getting a separate low voltage alarm? |
Re: TRX-4 build questions No need for that, the esc should be set to detect low voltage, just check the settings when you get it :) |
Re: TRX-4 build questions Perfect, thank you. :) This is my first crawler. I've just ordered everything and can't wait for it to arrive. :) |
Re: TRX-4 build questions I am sure you will have fun, welcome to this world "thumbsup" |
Re: TRX-4 build questions Thanks :) |
