Anyone knows about the team orion servos??
Does they worth the money??

I saw you are already using sanwa m11 radio.

why don't you buy sanwa servos ?

I'm using sanwa vx and vz in mtx4 and mrx4r respectively.

( becareful people ...., vx and vz are not digital servos, thus they are not suitable for futaba hrs receiver !! ).

i do not have a camera at this time. i took a dremmel and cut 2mm off front bulkhead behind arm and then add 2mm shim in front of arm and behind front sway bar

So you did this to the lower front arm? This would also then effect the total caster, and shorten your wheel base. Am I assuming right?

stefan

You shouldn't cut the bulkhead, there's not enough meat there. You are weakening the bulkhead too much. I cut 2,5 mm off the front a-arm.

Does the car become unstable and did you have to make big changes to your set up?

olev

Sure, you need to change the caster clips accordingly. And shortening the wheel base is exactly why this is done, although just as Stefan explained, most people cut the arms instead.

stefan

From what I see around here, the Orion servos are great, especially for that price.

I have two Sanwa WRX on which I just changed the wires. After seeing how they are built, they are waaay overpriced.

stefan

..and if you insist on having the full range of caster adjustment (which you don't need) you simply cut the upper arm as well....

stefan

No, the car is as stable as before, but it turn much better. I use the short wheelbase on tight tracks.
It's a cool mod, since it can be built back in a few minutes

But then if you wanted the full range of adjustments on caster, you would have to grind the bulkhead or top arm to match...
I see how things are heading now. Pretty cool
