hi need help servo question
 

one of my steering servos went bad on my team losi lst it has a jr z590m in it bad so the hobby shop sold me a losi repalcement one bo819 that is a just hair bigger i told him that its to tight of a fit and he said get a dremal out and just grind out a bit to get it to fit thiers not really much room and it hits on the botton or top not the sides im just worried about doing this and weaking the chassis i hate rigging shit ...........:confused:any advice i would appreaciate it ty

If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself take the truck and the servo back to were you got it and tell him to make it fit or give you a servo that fits correctly .

I would take that servo back and get something like the ProTek 100T (see link below). It's got more torque (216oz vs. 85oz on the Z590), it's faster (0.14s vs. 0.15 on the Z590), and it's standard size so it will fit in your LST without modification.

THANX I REALLY DONT WANT TO CUT THE CHASSIS UP ILL DO THAT BUT I NEED TO BUY 2 OF THEM THEN ..

That servo will die very fast in a LST. The tires are to big for a 99oz servo.

It is a standard size service. If the servo hits the chassis use the spacers. I would strongly recommend a better servo, All metal gear...

Think a buggy is smaller with smaller tires, and guys are running about 200oz servos.

SO WHICH SERVO WOULD YOU SAY TO GET ID RATHER DO THIS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME ???

why would anyone recommend a servo like the losi 819?

the servo LVBaja linked to is a good one for the price.

If you are cramming new servos into a LST, think about some higher-end servos.

The Savox 1256TG, even just one, will have enough power to wrench the tires around without an issue, and it's a fairly inexpensive servo. With titanium gears, you won't be stripping it.

thank you i appreciate it !!!

If the hobby shop told you to dremel out your chassis to make it fit.. I would take it back and tell them to go to hell. There are plenty of standard size servos that will fit that application. Them doing that is a bunch of bs..

THANK YOU I AGREE WITH YOU !!

Yes, definitely take it back to the hobby shop. Any standard sized servo should fit. As one person recommended, the Savox 1256TG should work really well for you. I can believe that the hobby shop sold you such a weak servo. After all, most hobby shop employees just take a part of the shelf and try to convince you that it will work for your application.
