team orion vortex 1605

I wouldnt run a savox ever again, and certainly not a low profile servo in a buggy

the orion has been bullet proof, its fast, waterproof, strong and despite the best attempts of my lil girl..... its still working LOL

no idea what they cost in the USA, here they are £80GBP.

+1 on the Savox 1258.

Has anyone tried to mount Kyosho rb6 shocks on their b5 or b5m? The stroke is about the same, I'm wondering about the top and bottom mount holes?

TIA

That's interesting because Savox is the OEM for Team Orion servos.

need help troubleshooting a gear issue, I've stripped the idler gears twice, what would cause this? I replaced both idler gears and the gearbox (left and right side) and it happened again. thanks!

Savox 1258tg is a standard size servo.

That's interesting because Savox is the OEM for Team Orion servos.

I'd replace them both again and the input shaft/gear. They get worn and eat the idlers. Make sure when u reassemble it's like a clean room in that gear box

To each is own, I've run a Savox 2151 Black in my B5m and now my B6 with no servo saver and have had zero issues with it. I even broke the stock B6 servo horn with no damage to the servo. I Do have full size servos 1258tg in my Yz4 and a 1257tg in my SC5m though

Decided to put a fan in my car, i saw the custom made chassis braces with cut out but they all said need to trim most bodies so I made this simple mount myself. When the arm is fully up its not even close to hitting, I used a 25mm yeah racing tornado fan, that little bastard BLows. lol..

I'm curious why you would avoid a low profile servo? I recently installed one in mind but have yet to run it.

Thanks
