Im waiting until tomorrow to make up my mind with the servo. Both servos on ebay end tomorrow cheap so... Hopefully. I will get one cheap there or just buy a new one. I might buy that solar servo for my truggy....

masonis1 · 03-28-2012, 04:05 PM

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hitec-hs-795...-/130668995516. Here is the servo i was looking at? What yall think?

masonis1 · 03-28-2012, 05:31 PM

Proud owner of s hitec 7954. Got it for 57 bucks...

masonis1 · 03-28-2012, 06:27 PM

So just tested running the lipo. Wow.. this thing pulls wheelies with over 8 ounces up from and will flip itself backwards in reverse. Wow...

winnerone23 · 03-28-2012, 07:57 PM

Good go at it! I got the 15min warning on The servo at 53$ I had it on my watch list. Figured it was the one you were after. Good deal. Sounds pretty solid to pull wheelies! I get front tires off the ground but not wheelies tho! I have 8 oz per side up front. Same with the back, coming off the ground.. no flipping over. 3oz pee rear tire.

masonis1 · 03-28-2012, 08:37 PM

I have less weight than you that explains it but it is perfect. Gets up stuff without a servo that it couldnt do before with all the help in the world. Hah. Ya 57 bucks. We bid 58 and got lucky that we did. I was telling my mom to bid 54 and if i did, we wouldnt have got it. Now i need to buy an aluminum clamping horn and ill be ready to go... Trust me, im gunna break every plastic horn i have waiting for it cuz i cant wait. Lipo lva is in sand diego and was shipped out to my state today. Im guessing 2 or 3 more days, 4 or 5 days for the servo... YES!!!!! Wow... I guess ill work on my mini revo.... UGH!

masonis1 · 03-28-2012, 09:05 PM

Also, did the fuel tube fix for the shocks. Seems to work bettter.

masonis1 · 03-29-2012, 04:08 PM

Lipo alarm arrived

masonis1 · 03-29-2012, 07:13 PM

Ok good news, got a job. Cutting lawns now again... 40 bucks for one lawn at the moment. The lady wont give me less. So i think i might be able to get some more parts for my cars. Im going to save 30 bucks and i can spend the 10. Im gunna save the 10 up until i can get some badace stuff

masonis1 · 03-30-2012, 05:57 AM

Hah but the thing about this... All these parts coming in and yet... No servo!!! Hahah im so impatient.

masonis1 · 03-31-2012, 08:01 PM

If i sent in my sv2 to castle creations and havent heard from them since, what should i do. Other items i sent the same day reached there point of destination but i havent heard from castle. What should i do? Even if it wasnt under warranty, should they tell me whats going on?

28offroader · 03-31-2012, 08:20 PM

Castle has bad customer service, their turnaround time is very slow and half the time when dealing with them they have no idea what they're talking about.
Best thing to do is give them a call.
Did you send your electronics with tracking? How did you fill out the warranty form? Did you send it marked as warranty or a repair service?

masonis1 · 03-31-2012, 08:24 PM

I just sent in with the warranty/repair form filled out. I'll call them Monday tho.

masonis1 · 04-01-2012, 07:21 PM

So i have a big brushless outrunner from my old project.. its a 910kv exceed motor. Ive heard these have lots of torque, would these have more than my 55t novak?

masonis1 · 04-01-2012, 07:38 PM

Better yet, i have a chit ton of brushed motors and some brushless motors.... Im putting up pictures soon. Can anyone tell me if any would be better?. I got these from my rc10 set.

The blue outrunner is the exceed alpha 910kv
Blue tamiya is endurance. About 14100rpm at 6 volts
Red tamiya is sprint. About 16100 rpm at 6 volts
Orange can is turnigy 2700kv brushless...

So would any of these have more torque/power?

rmdesignworks · 04-01-2012, 07:40 PM

Castle does a huge amount of warranty work...huge amount...because they stand by their products...they test everything that ocmes in for repair...it takes a bit of time because they dont have a factory like Futaba, Spektrum or Hitec. Theyve always been good by me...

a 910kv BL motor is a 480 size..it wont have as much torque as a 540 can sized 55t

masonis1 · 04-01-2012, 07:53 PM

Ok so i shouldnt worry about castle... And i put pictures up of the engines i have.

28offroader · 04-01-2012, 08:11 PM

Love castle products, I definatly would'nt try to steer anyone away from them as they are great products and they will stand by them if you have an issue.
Just hope you don't have an issue cause they're warranty department is'nt up to par. Smaller company or not, waiting a month for a reply (in my case) is just ridiculous and there's no excuse for that.

masonis1 · 04-01-2012, 08:30 PM

Yes i know. What would be cool is if i just get a new one shipped to my house without even knowing... But you know how rare that would be...

masonis1 · 04-02-2012, 06:11 PM

UPDATE!!!
