That's what one has to do when one loses the battle of who's got the most orange metal bits. :lol: :lol: :lol:

:eek: :eek: Sow, now I know why you were traction rolling!!! The centre of gravity was upset by you placing the PT on top of the carbon plate!!!! :lol:

Hi all,

The thread is going on high speed today:)

If you discharge your batteriepacks often they can easely life a couple of years without any problems.

The Servo I see in the pic is that a Futaba 9550?
How is it?
Does it has enough power and speed for both steering and brakes?

Thanks and Bye,

Thomas

I've got 9550s for my second 710 - yet to be built. The 9550s provide ample torque to both bring the 710 to a halt and to steer. Small and light are they too! :D

Cheers, Mark.

Maybe you'll need to aid some weight to make your car legal.

You should be able to get them from every good hobby shop - Futaba are a very well known brand and the 9550s are the most popular servos for electric cars.

Try www.rc-mushroom.com for example.

In Europe I can get them for €100 but in the states, you should be able to get them for under $100 each.
