Make sure the servo you pick is something you really like and is durable. getting to the servo is a real pain in the rear.
I can't really say I had much durability issues when I had the vehicle, it just was made for a different class than where sct 4x4 ended up at.
Thank you.
I was thinking about the Castle Sidewinder 3 system. I think it comes with a 3700kv motor. I would probably be best off looking more toward the higher torque on a servo seeing that I'm prob going to have extra weight in some metal on it and a metal roll cage shouldn't I? Will 3700kv be enough for the weight? I know its not going to weigh like 10 pounds or anything, but I'm not real sire about those ratios.
