Lunchbox Servo Recommendations

[Van Rouge]

Hi guys

Any recommendations we have used Traxxas 2075's in all our previous RC's, is this overkill for a lunchie/ pumpkin? Should we also use hi torque servo savers?

Cheers Nick and Zile

I think any cheap standard-size servo that you have handy will do just fine. The lb/mp chassis is a light low-tech fun chassis (it wheelies on stock silver can, how many cars do that). Stock saver will protect even a plastic servo.

If you want to improve it, bearings, oil shocks, tyre foams, 5th shock mod will make a difference

But let me reiterate, this is a fun chassis, not a high-tech high-speed high-performance chassis. Take it for what it is, and have fun.

Many thanks for the reply... Any recommendations on decent cheapies then...

I have a carson servo in my lunch box. It works fine and takes lots of abuse form my daughter driving it. It was about £5 on eBay.

Why even bother with a quality steering servo for a car that spends the majority of the runtime on its rear wheels.

Just kidding.

I use the waterproof metal geared by etronix from modelsport for £18....pretty good so far!

Wow, you just added like 20% to the value of the car but waterproof is nice, and you can actually keep the bushings so you don't worry about wet bearings

Cheers guys took a recommendation from the thread Nobbi listed above. Two for £9.90 posted
