I made a servo mod, what do you think?
It is just a futaba 9550, which has only 8kg/cm torque, but I tried it and it was heaps good.

So basically, an alum. rear brace was drawn in January, and they were released a month ago. The factory is slowly releasing these parts as time goes on. The kit has been on the market for 3 months as of tomorrow, to be technical. I agree the servo issue is "WELL DOCUMENTED" as you put it. And they are taking action!! The process is far more dragged out then you can imagine... Trust me, I want this resolved ASAP for the sake of all the owners, future owners on the fence, and anyone who wants to own a Cobra. In short, it takes time, and I just gave you some examples...
Designing and building the hop ups are not related to the servo issue.

It's really strange though about the servo issues. I remember way back when everyone was questioning the throttle design on the car, and they said "We've tried several designs and went through countless hours of testing and trust me there is a reason why we made the servo push intead of pull"....

One thing that puzzles me is if you tested the stuff, why is it tearing up servos, seems to me it should have been fixed before the release of the car.... I mean it doesn't take an engineer to look at the servo sitting next to the 250degree engine and say, well um, that there servo might get burnt up...
yep...

On the plus side, it does look like a sweet ride. I saw one at the track, and it is one nice set of wheels....

And be glad it's just a radio box issue, and not gears, or something serious.

I'm sure the problem is being addressed, but at what cost to the sales of the buggy. I hope not, I hope Billy and Serpent all the best, he seems like a real smart and genuine guy from the video about the car...and he has been winning races for a long time, By next year this car will be dialed in and kicking butt.....Probably is already.....
