(Also, I will keep that in mind about the Tekin ESC's when I go to build my next R/C vehicle. I very well might pick up one then, I've heard great stuff about them.)
@J_Bone: Do you have a MMP installed in you SC10, with a Castle BEC, and the Savox-1258TG? Does it make any "glitching" noise at all? I know a few guys at my track have the 1258TG servo installed, and it doesn't make any noises (if I recall correctly).
Does anyone else on here have a MMP, Savox-1258TG, and a Castle BEC installed on their trucks? Does your servo make any "glitching" noises, or is it silent while operating and while at rest?
Yes Im saying no matter the ESC any digital servo will make that noise. Its nothing more than the servo finding center over and over again. Secondly yes even with an external BEC connected it will still make noise. Its nothing to worry about. Heres the deal with the castle MMPs. Some of them will run the savox stuff along with some of the other high draw servos on their BEC and some wont. They are renouned for having an extremely weak BEC. I have first hand experience with this as I have beta tested several componets for Castle and this was a known issue from day one with the MMP. Most can get away with a capacitor(spektrum or Novak) in the receiver port. Some cant depending on the unit(ESC). As some were better than others.
On another note I just ordered the Avid Spring sets for front and rear for my V2s with GHEA collars. I have been running the Losi springs which I didnt care for. The rates, especially the front were not close enough to the factory associated stuff. I also grabbed the carbon fiber rear hub towers which look better than the Associated set as they give more setup options. Was going to get the Avid 12mm clamping hexes but my Proline hexes seem to be doing just fine. I dont particular like the set screw on the Prolines but they are far better than the J Concepts clamping hexes which strip just looking at them.
Ill be posting some results once I run the Avid springs this weekend. Along with my impressions of the rear hub towers.
