Cain- I saw some posts of yours, do you still have your servo? did your issue get taken care of? Any info would be great. Thanks If you indeed want to have it in the waterproof edition here is one place you can get one http://www.xpert-rc-us.com/product-p/wr-7701-hv.htm since it's sold out at Amain. |
yes, looking for a waterproof servo. They show out of stock on that site as well. I contacted Hobby Authority, the US distributor, and they said that the 7701 would be back in stock by the end of the month.

If you do decide to purchase the 7701 you can get it you can use coupon code 10percent for 10% off here
I can wait. Thanks for the tip though. |
mkl are yo ulooking to use it in a MT or a Truggy?
If a Truggy I would maybe give the 6601 version a look for a bit more speed as the torque is already way up there. |

yeah I was going to use it in a Kyosho Mad Force that I have for sale now and was thinking the same. was to run through snow, etc and i liked its high voltage option. Was between this and the Airtronics 94671 and figured save some money and give it a shot, plus was supported by Nick which has been a pleasure so figured give it a go.

For the Wraith, which is not a speed machine if my intel is correct, the WR-7701 will be perfect. It will have massive torque, if provided with enough power. A small tip would be to get a Castle Creations 10A BEC and programming kit for the BEC to ensure the servo will have a nice steady 8.4V supply.
you won't be sorry. That's what I have done to ensure my WR-6601 get's a steady 8.4V supply in my Durango DEX408 buggy. Not as fast as the WR-4401 but more powerful. I have the WR-4401 in my Hong Nor Nexx8 buggy, which i'm getting ready for some fun. A CC 10A BEC will be installed in that as well. Ensurering a steady 6.6V power stream, so I will get maximum steering torque. |
I agree, the BEC is basically a necessity in a crawler. I ordered one with the Wraith kit so it will be going in from the start.
Thanks guys. |
Show us the Wraith with the new servo and other goodies once you have assembled it. :D
|
Will do, I'm excited about it, It's my first foray into this segment of RC.

That is a really high price even with the coupon. They are $99 everywhere else, even from the distributor.
I can wait. Thanks for the tip though. Here is the waterproof model http://tqhobby.com/index.php?route=p...87&search=7701 Coupon code 10percent for that 10% off!! As stated above HAD is waiting for a shipment. I am waiting on a few back orders myself ;) |
I made a short video of my WR-6601 servo if those of you who don't own one would like to see one being fired up.
After countless attempts of making the youtube thingy working to no avail I'll just post the link. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgCcGOKEzZk hope you enjoy it. |
Xpert WR7701 Rocks!

I can't imagine what would have happened cost wise if I had tried hooking up to other ESCs I had here that are out of warranty to but work fine.
I do believe i probably had a one off issue however, but what I wanted to use the servo for (winter snow running in a monster truck) had the time to use it pass. So I sold it to someone else who could use get more use out of it. Maybe down the road I'll give it a look again as some of the other servos have specs I like, but I will make sure I only do that with an esc still under warranty. :lol: Youtube Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYfhO90zukc |

I'm not a racer but I have had Hitec and Savox in my SCX10, Wraith, Yeti, Rival and Losi 8T with zero issues. I built my Yeti XL and wanted to try a new servo and found Cain's Xpert WR7701 for sale. Fit the bill so why not give it a go. I have it only running 7.4v through a CC BEC and this servo throws these giant tires around with some serious authority and speed. I can't wait to bump up the voltage to 8.4v. I'm looking to get an MT4G3 and will put in an Xpert WR7701 without hesitation.
Youtube Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYfhO90zukc On 8.4V you will have torque in your WR-7701 to tip over a tank hehe. |
glad you liked it. I wish I had that luck with my original purchase but sometimes things happen.
