Just look for a good standard high torque servo with at least 350oz/in or so. Savox is my go to brand, but Hitec also has great servos. If it has a terrible turning radius, you'll probably want a fast servo as well. So look for something close to .12 speed or lower. But these will get pricey. If...

I have been looking for a new Mad Crusher body for awhile now. I missed a brsnd new one for $89 ,on ebay 🤬 Might have to say hell with and just do a custom body, or grab the new USA-1 bidy, but I really want to keep it original.

When they were working on the new release of the USA-1, I was dying to get one. But after it came out, I saw people were having some problems with it, so I held off. But I'd still love to get one some day. We have a Mad Crusher that I got off Tunepipe on here, so that is close enough for now. It...

Can't wait man. I see the body peeking out back there 😉

Cool. Maybe put a slightly shorter shim behind the shocks, or file them down slightly.

Figured anything out yet?

That sucks. Share your problem and maybe we can come up with something.

Yeah, possibly. You can buy it on Amazon too. Walmart may even have it. Any place that sells auto paint should have it for sure.

Looking good! Ain't a thing wrong with old Hitec servos. They are probably better than a lot of new servos! Do you already have a body for it? If later on you want to put a decent finish on the pan without a ton of work, get the red 3M Scotchbrite pads. Scrub the chassis in straight lines...

Go with 3m wet/dry. Best stuff for polishing. I used to use emery cloth as well for the coarser stuff.

No problemo. Post pics as you go. Another little tip... sand with the same grit til you've removed all the lines from previous grit. And when you think you are ready to go to a finer grit, hit everything one more time with the current grit. It sucks to start on a finer grit, and end up having to...

Use WD40 to keep your paper clean. Sorry, I should have mentioned that earlier.

That patina should polish right out of it. Metal does not absorb chemicals like pourous materials, but it can sometimes penetrate a few tenths (.0001") of the surface, which should polish away pretty easily.

Polishing aluminum is a bit of a process. I start out with somewhere between 400 to 800 grit, depending on how many blems there are, or how textured the piece is. From there, work your way down to about 1500 grit, going from 800, to 1000, to 1200, then 1500. Stay in straight lines. Using...
