I'll be sure and post as many pictures as I can after the build on Saturday. Experienced racers like Victor are welcome to chime in with their thoughts and suggestions for the newbies--of which--I am one!!

The EVO 4 I have IS an older Comp car-- and it has had some upgrades as it was Frank Killam's personal car from a few years ago.

Harry--the Multiplex servo has proven near BULLETPROOF!! That is why it has become the servo of choice--and the geometry of the servo saver and front steering works really well with the single servo setup. This servo is so strong-- I can't imagine breaking one. Something else will break first!! I'm even using the aluminum output steering arm upgrade--if you're concerned at all about servo breakage---use the heavy duty nylon output arm--it will break long before the servo gears!!
FWIW

How does the Multiplex servo work with 2 cell LiPo batteries? Can you just hook it up or do you need something else like a voltage regulator for the servo.

And judging from the specs that vctr1 posted, it is the same specs as one of the JR 9100HT HV servo. Plus the JR9100HT HV servo works fine with LiPo.
