I have mine set at 8v because I run 3s most of the time and with holding the front wheel it will move my truck but its a robotic servo somewhere like 425oz

I will be on 3s some day I have 7 2s so I gotta wait till they die

If you power your rx at 7.2v from the bec and plug your servo in as normal, you'll be fine. I did that on my comp rig. If you have leds hooked up, you'll need to drop the voltage running to them so they don'y fry. Even at 6 volts, you'll get better results with a bec, it's a more regulated power source so it doesn't "brown out".

EDIT* You could push the voltage higher, but more volts equals more heat. That lil servo motor will get hot!

My new TF body is sitting at the post office, and I don't even have the ambition to go and get it today

I managed to (somewhat) straighten out the old one after the paint stripper warped it to hell. I held it over the stove and got the roof popped out but the hood is hopeless.

I'm thinking of trying to recycle it into a beater body, so I don't trash the new one so quickly. Might try to bob the bed cuz I like the looks of that .

RPP has the HD gears in stock . With those, it just might survive the summer!

Sweet

[corporatelemon]

I'll just hook it up like castle says

[corporatelemon]

Bec all hooked up everything works amazing now to bec the cherokee

[TrailDawg362]

Did you notice any difference with your servo and bec compared to without one? I'm assuming you have a Castle link for programming. If your servo is rated for 7.2 or more, you'll see alot more torque and speed out of it at that voltage.

[corporatelemon]

Yea huge difference I do have castle link and for now its a stock axial servo and with the bearing up grade its great

Corporate, Holmes hobbies has an adapter to do exactly what you were talking about. Power from battery to the bec then servo then signal only to the receiver. Do not have to remove power wire from esc that way

[corporatelemon]

Damn I knew that's were I saw it should have looked again lol thanks 460

[TrailDawg362]

I got the new Yota body, rollbar and scale goodies yesterday! Now the work begins. I'll post up some pics soon since nothing is assembled yet. I'm diggin' the rollbar .

On my RPP wishlist, waiting on fundage:

Yea us bank sent me a new one because "we noticed there was an issue with your magnetic strip" it was priceless

[TrailDawg362]

Any new updates from the Super/Rock Monster garage? I remember hearing something about a new Dingo lid. How about that killer panel truck?
