Grumpy pants 4369 Posted May 3, 2015 I have 2 Acoms AS-2 Servos and a Techniplus 3 handset in my spares. Is this produced a bit later than the M38 SWB Wild Willy or is the correct year/type model? I don't plan to run my W.W, but I want it to be period correct, work and of course look the part! Thank you. Simon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny Retro 12 Posted May 4, 2015 There's always going to be some oddities and/or overlap, and nothing is set in stone, but in general, a Mk.III Techniplus TX & AS-2 servos are not a natural match for the Willy M38 - or even for each other, TBH. Two AS-2 servos (as far as I can work out) were usually sold (along with a single AS-3) with the AP-427 TX & ARA-427 RX as a radio set for the Tamiya 3-speeds. For a very early SWB Wild Willy M38, a Mk.1 set (AP-227 TX, ARA-227 RX, ASA-227 or AS-1 servos) might be appropriate, but for most (and all LWB M38s) a Mk.II set (AP-227 Mk.II (aka ATB-227) TX, ARB-227 RX & ASA-227 (or AS-1 or AS-1S) servos is going to be most "correct". Mk.II sets are probably going to be more plentiful (and have a greater chance of still working) than Mk.I sets too. If you want to go with Futaba instead, I think the "Medallion 2" set would probably be most period correct, I can probably find the servo/RX model #s if you really need them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
