Ya know I had a bnib Hitec 7955 that I was gonna use for a ebuggy but I sold it, something told me I should have put that sucka in. FAIL
I don't have another servo unfortunately.
Yes it is a giant p.i.t.a to swap one out, I only want to swap out only if I absolutely have to.
The weird thing about this is it is intermittent and usually happens later on in the day when I'm running.
I'm wondering this: If my batteries (saddles) are discharged to a certain degree that they can't maintain the amps.
I am using 20c saddles, that could possibly be it. Maybe I need more c ?

ok cool, sorta confirms my thinking. My batteries would be warm after running them. I'm only geared at 13/62 but I'm sure the amp draw is working these suckas hard.
I'm going to try the turnigy nano techs that are advertised as 65c. I doubt they are really 65 but I'm sure they are more than 25 c.
What all saddle packs are you guys running? I'm not at the point where I can afford Reedy saddles.

Tech Adept
I just got a Tekin pro 4600/rx8 what was wondering what esc settings guys are using for it. Also what pinions would be a good starting point. Thanks.

Don't forget to take your receiver apart and clean the dirt out of it every now and then. I have had my truck act like it was getting radio hits, shut downs, and other problems and it was all because of dirt in the receiver.
I also found without a cap (Savox) that turning the wheels back an forth on the bench I could get the receiver light to go out and it would go dead for a few seconds.

Good catch Cameron I'm gonna take a looksie tonight.
Remember back in the day when we put them in baggies? (or at least I did)

Being high voltage I guess you could power the servo right off the battery and bypass the BEC as well, but I would be concerned with how the handling would feel as the servo would respond diffrently as the voltage starts to drop.

I got some of the 90c Orions on the way. Only place I could find them was on ebay and I didn't notice they were being shipped out of hong kong. For the $5 I paid in shipping I don't expect to see them anytime soon.

How often do you change diff fluid?

Thanks, I have been changing every 2 race days so far.

Mine don't leak anymore. I started putting a thin bead of 100% silcone calk around the seals and haven't lost a drop of fluid since. I haven't replaced the fluid since I last did that, so we'll see how re-usable the seals are after I do that sometime this week.

Settings I had mine at:
No current limiter
Brakes 80perc.
No push or drag
Timing at 5
I run on a tight indoor small track...
