We will use large scale 18kg servo instead of standard size.:)

Here's a thread where the owner of a Smartech Titan reworked his servos. They seem much stronger now. From post 15 and on. http://5thscaleracingforum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2995

18kg is 250 oz.inch torque.

If you guys read metric anywhere just multiply it by 13.88 to get your Oz/inch.

and the overload test

when i use that servo i have more power than i can use.
i can step on the truck and the servo keeps going by activating the servo saver. hope you like it.

Maybe youtube doesn't work for them because they're in China grfilipp? Do you have a photobucket account? Maybe upload it to there and send Chris a link.

Has anyone tried running dual steering servos in there’s like 2 savox 20KG standard size servo’s, or do you think the motors in this size servo wouldn’t hold up to the job.

Also anyone tried dual servos like the rhino digi 4 servos like some racers have in other models, or have you found no problems using just the one.

I'm using a digi4 in the MT and it has no problem steering the bigger tires so the buggy tires will be no effort for it

Are you using Rhino's in TBII? And any problems fitting them in the servo tray?

Cheers
