dual 7955's and never look back.:nod:

+1:tire:

Thats what I went with for my buggy. I am thinking about 7950/7955 for my truggy so I have extra torque on steering. Of course I know there is more risk involved with this setup.

7940 failures
 

Man, am I getting frustrated!!

I tried a 7940 a couple months back, I thought I found the perfect servo and that I would never have to buy another servo again.

I went a bought 6 of these. I run them for steering and throttle on buggy and truggy and steering in my SCRT10 and one for a backup.

I have had 3 fail in the last monthNow, I know what everyone is going to say, they fail when used on steering. Well, I have no complaints on steering, they work perfect, plenty of power and speed. Mine have all failed on throttle!!! As we all know, throttle/brake are EPA'd, so I only have it set for 71% throttle and 68% Brake. I am not even running them on 7.4, I am using LIFE packs.

Is there a Hitec Rep on this thread? Does anyone know if Hitec is aware of a problem with the first ones that came out? Are they making any revisions or improvements?

Thanks in advance

Man, that sucks David.

My throttle one failed today at Silver State practice. I had brake and not gas. Odd, but now it wont move at all.

Hi,

I had 7965MG for throttle, but this race weekend (and ago, but I don't know what is issue in my 8ight 2.0) is the last for that.

It had maybe 20 litres of fuel in my buggy. When I want to pull throttle/brake it don't react. When someone on track service bung car on the track, servo abort (engine blip-blip-blip instead BLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP on straight).

I search good servo (overkill durability & quite good specifications). I think about 7940TH.

Have you own proposition for that?

Best regards,
Matthew

I Would consider waiting a few days and see if the 7945 hits the shelves right away....its middle ground between the 40 and 50 and If there's a servo that's going to replace my 59/7955's its going to be the 7945. :nod:

I only have 1 race on my 7950/7940 setup and so far it's dialed. Felt really good out there on the track.:nod:
