I thought it did (don't have one though) but the tech specs kinda contradict themselves if you look at the description tab vs the technical specs tab. Savox SW1210SG Waterproof Digital Servo |

Reading the info on that link you sent and it clearly states 7.4v in the description tab as well, I'm sure it wasn't there before�� It still only states 6.0 volts in specs tab but. Thanks for the link and clearing that up for me, 7.4 volts it is!!! Last edited by Yeti.stealth; 06-05-2017 at 08:23 PM. |

I like his reinforcement screw placement better than where I drilled mine and have since bought a new axle housing/brace and drilled where and how he did using a 3mm buttonhead screw and nut. |

Any servo experts out there got an idea of what's going on? To be on the safe side I will get CC BEC reset to 6.4 volts, same at K10. Look at specs on the card that came with my older 1210 Savox and no mention of 7.4 volts anywhere, only 6 volts. | |

I Don't think the Savox servo was at fault for wigging out at 7.4 volts, when I test run it the first time I just grabbed a lipo that was at storage charge, I think it was a flat battery that was the cause. Might revisit 7.4 volts one day in the future. Couple pics from weekend trail run, niece and nephew into it now! Gunna need more crawlers!!! CI DW foams breaking in, got an air gap now between foam and tyre, I'm starting to like them, I knew I could trust you Natedog! |

Time to figure out how to make this servo winch fit again. Only place it fits is laying on top of steering servo. Made up a mounting bracket, and a fairlead guide for side to side from Blazer bumper plastic spacers Winch servo clears battery on full compression Battery tray on full extension Now to work on a horizontal roller to get winch rope down low away from bumper on K10 body Installed a loose fitting piece of brake line over some 3mm threaded rod, should work as a roller. Winch rope will fed in and out between plastic side to side spacers and under horizontal roller up onto winch spool |

Glad you're liking the CI DW foams, I always try to give good advice and what's working or not for me! Nice, getting everybody RC involved. Time to shop for couple more crawlers. Winch setup looks great too! | |

Finished the winch, made a hook and wanted it to stow away inside fairlead, makes it bloody hard to get the hook out so I put a para cord tab on it. |

Nice job making that fit and tuck in nicely. I hate seeing guys with front ends that have either the fairlead hanging out front to get caught on everything or the hook just dangeling to also get caught. Nice and clean. That truck must literally climb a wall with the trimmed up front end! Ben |

Thanks Itali83, I like maximising the approach angle too! Comp day today, sunny to start off with, then cold and rainy, made crawling extra slippy! Used my winch a couple times too, K10 looks a bit like that dog monster truck with his tongue sticking out ( red winch hook tab ) hehe! |

Pics from before the rain, still sunny. Bronco had some short wheel base company with this nice shortened scx10 chassis under a Land Cruiser body. And then there was this thing! |

Rc crawling today topped off a fantastic weekend, yesterday my whole family attended a charity day at a small airfield to raise money for children with cancer. All money raised from vintage Tigermoth and helicopter flights went to " camp quality" Some pics of family members taking Tigermoth flights, at 1 point there were 6 beautiful old biplanes lined up and constantly taking off and landing. Just gorgeous!!!! |

My wife and my son took a flight in the Bell helicopter, it was like a beautiful shiny machine, bubble canopy, sweet sweet MASH chopper!! But painted red, spoke to pilot and he said it was olive drab when they got it 12 years ago, it looked pretty cool in red though. I took a ride in this shark mouth Tiger, absolutely delightful! |

And then there was this guy! It's a super wolf Pitts pro, only 2 or so in the world I believe, mordern design carbon fibre Pitts special with massive horsepower, piloted by Paul Bennet. A world class aerobatic pilot from our local area. |

It was a spectacular day Ernie, found out later they raised over $6000 for the charity. Good to see you still active in the Ascender forum, I thought we had lost you and Natdog to the TRX4! Got some cheap eBay Dick Cepek mud country tyres for the Bronco, small 1.9's so my boy can run in the more scale class and actually get a score, up until now he has been running for no score as the tyres have been out of spec. The Vaterra TSL's will be used for bashing and trail driving. Also fitted some lights, made some tail light buckets, under chassis rock lights to come later. For foams I used some old 4.50 lil nova inners that I hacked away at in an attempt to comp cut them, seem like a good fit in these tyres. Last edited by Yeti.stealth; 06-20-2017 at 01:28 AM. |

Great comp pics, love the old TigerMoth bipes, YAH 52, and the Bell MASH style helicopter! Makes me miss working in the middle of an active airfield with all the cool planes coming and going! Here's a great NZ documentary that I saw on PBS! NOVA - Official Website | First Air War The shop and guys who recreate and fly old WW1 aircraft from drawings, photos and what little technical specs they can find. What a great job! The Vintage Aviator 1.9 Dick Cepeks look like a great C! tire on your son's Bronco too! Last edited by Natedog; 06-23-2017 at 10:35 AM. |

Ah yes! The vintage aviator, I'm a big fan of there work, a few years ago my father and I decided we should cross something off our bucket list and go to one of the massive air shows they have at Masterton in New Zealand, it's also home of the vintage aviator, took my son too, just the boys, grand father, father and son. I was active on Rc groups back then and posted a million pics from the air show. I will add a link to it later. Back to crawlers, couldn't get the foams to perform how I like, and the mixed terrain we drive on or my sons driving style which is flat out and bash! and the Bronco only weighs 7 pounds. So I sanded the big tsl xl foams down till just the slightest hint of groove was left, and cut new grooves with sand paper. I like how they are now, and are probably close the CI DW rockbeast foams in size. The foams did work well on pure rock crawling when driven in scale manner, and I can't see myself going back to two stage foams again. |
