You should be pretty right with any of the major brands (eg Futaba, Sanwa, KO etc).

For throttle you still need a little torque so it has enough strength to get enough brakes.
Thanks!
Interested in getting 2 SAVOX 1251MG, with the following specs.
Speed @ 6.0V: .09
Torque @ 6.0V: 125 oz-in / 9.0 kg-cm
Type: Low Profile
Gear: Metal

What do you think? (I know it may not be as top as the brands you mentioned above)

Those should be just fine. I used a TrakPower LiPo on mine with HV servos but you will need a LiFe pack or a regular NiMh flat pack. This one is about the same size as the TrackPower LiPo I ran, Flat LiFe pack, so I know it fits. The specs on those servos are very similar to the Sanwa SRG-BLS V2 I used and never had any issues with steering or brakes. I don't know what kind of budget your working with but in my opinion those servos with a Legend 12R will get you a nice performing setup, although it's out of stock there.

Hi

Yes i have used this Savox servo before as a throttle servo and it is good value for money. I would go with a different brand for steering servo as it under more load, but this is just my opinion.

Both are very good cars! Do you prefer red Cap or orange Nt1?

IdealMicrobe:

You have to take people's response with a grain of salt as they will always be pro the brand they are driving. Both are good cars at the end of the day and if it was me I would be deciding on parts availability and support (other racers at track and online) unless you can find someone who has owned both and raced them both and can give more of an insight.

Quick question. I have someone selling a NT1 2010. Pros/cons for this versus the newer ones with alum bulk heads.

Thanks.

Hello, I am now to this thread/car. What are the most important replacement parts. I know belts/arms but what about pulleys?

I have a new to me 2010.

Thank you!

Anyone got any ideas or thoughts on what might be changed or updated on the NT1 for 2017?

I guess this is a matter of how you define "load". The throttle servo actually is under more strain if you ever use the brakes. They have always been more prone to failure than steering servos. You might not need as much torque for throttle but the failure rate will be higher for the throttle servo.

125oz is more than enough for either position. "Back in the day" 125oz would have been a monster and many races were won with weaker servos than that on cars that weighed a lot more than the current cars.

I personally have been running Orion servos (made by Savox) for 3-4 years and now just switched to the Savox badged servos. I now run the SV154MG servo for both throttle and brakes. Its a low profile so its lighter and its HV so I can run a straight lipo battery which is also lighter and smaller. This servo coupled with the lipo gives me plenty of torque and speed and using the same servo in both positions means I don't have to carry 2 spare servos with me, I can carry just one if I want.

I bought 5 of them at the IIC electric race in Las Vegas (I went to watch) for $60/ea. I thought it was a good price and a good value for a servo with those specifications. I figure with 5 of them I am covered for a while.

Can anyone tell me if other pinion gears will work instead of the X-ray ones?

Thanks.

Hello

I understand KM Racing pinion gears fit on the Xray clutchbell however i have not tried it myself to confirm. These maybe cheaper however they may not last as long as the original Xray ones which is worth considering.
