Congrats on the new ride IMB. I can't wait to see that run at the next ECB.

If he gets it built in time, you may see it in a video from the Round 2 of our Hampton Roads Bash.

I paid $640 shipped to my door from a guy on Ebay. Couldn't pass up the price.

Sky- Thanks for the info on the servos... I was thinking of either putting a 5925 or a 5645 in for steering. The 925 is quicker, but the 645 has more torque.
Do these buggies really need a high torque servo, or should I just go with speed?

Hitec 5925MG
Torque:
128 oz-in.
Speed: 0.08 Sec/60Degrees

Hitec 5645MG
Torque:
168 oz-in.
Speed: 0.18 Sec/60 Degrees

You know, you guy's keep talking about luck and how lucky he is.
He didn't win this, he bought it.
Was he lucky that he went in his wallet and found the money? No.
He worked for it.
The real luck will be getting it running.

MUUHHAAHAAHAA!

Ummm...based on what you just posted, the 5925 is not faster than the 5645. They are equal in speed. Given that, I would take the higher torque servo to minimize bump steer at speed. Granted, this is coming from a basher...not a racer.

HB1111, was he referring to the 645 or its digital counterpart the 5645? I have heard of issues with the 645 recently, but nothing on the 5645. Just curious.

i don't know anything about the 5645, but if it's anything like my 645 then it'll have problems centering. the servo works great and has plenty of power to turn the wheels, but it centers like crap

 

[Hypedonrc]

Can't wait to watch the build. Don't know about the high end JR's though. Still waiting to hear of the JR Digi's that Ratzo said he was going to put on that K3. I run a JR 590 for thottle, and a HiTech 645 on the steering. By far not top of the line, but they seem to do ok for me.

I've never had problems w/ the centering on my 645....

Or even on my HS-55.....

The digital variants (any of the HiTec servos that start out as 5XXX) are particularly strong in the re-centering area. In fact, that is one of the reasons many get digital servos.
