I just don't like servos in the .12+ range. And absolutely no need for that much toruqe.
138.87 oz in of torque isn't way too much. The 0.12 sec transit speed is pushing it though. I don't notice is too much when making corrections though and that's where it matters.

You're correct. The torque is great. I misread the model number. The one I read had over 300 oz. in. torque..... my bad.

Secondly to make it turn make sure your radio endpoints are allowing the wheels to be turned fully both directions and not stopping short.

Then move your battery all the way forward. If that doesn't do it then also use some stick on lead weights and add a 1/2 oz to each front triangle next to the servo.

Finally loosen you slipper so that it slips for a foot or so when you take off on high traction, like carpet. And to help the load on the slipper you can add the vts slipper from the 4x4 or get the Avid triad slipper set.
For the end points I had to reduce them, once fully turned in both directions it was making a noise and not going any place. I heard some of these 1258 servers had some problems and some people have been adding a bec to them. If I dont have a Bec would that be the problem where it is not turning well enough and once slammed on the breaks the truck will pause for 2 seconds while holding full throttle? I will be racing next weekend and will update you guys with the changes and if they worked.

with my old setup i put the savox in my truck and it would pull so much power it would shut off the reciever. It would take a couple seconds and reboot. I noticed this on my work bench. If i jiggled the steering really fast and looked at the reciever light it would go out and everything would shut off. Then it would turn back on and everything would be fine until i did it again needed to get a glitch buster. That fixed it now my new setup doesn't need it so i think it all depends on how your elec. hold the power in reserve

Has anyone noticed that they blow out in the inside rear bearings more or less with the aluminum hubs vs the plastic hubs? Same with ball studs on the hub? My daughter has gone through 4 bearings in the rear in 6 weeks and she has had 3 studs rip in half. Well actually my kid has. I am thinking the aluminum hubs are the main issue. I have some b44 plastic hubs that seem to have less issue. But my kid use 1.5 deg alum hubs and they dont make a plastic 1.5. She broke on the practice lap tonight, but the RD let her run my b4 in the main. She didnt do as well, but I told her to not break my buggy, lol. So she singled everything.

I must have gotten lucky. I run savox 1258 in my sc10 and T4 with tekin RSs and airtronics 92524 receivers. No rec cap or bec. No brown outs or glitches.

thats is mostly because your are using an airtronics. Spectrum is trash imo.

I think these may fit, I have been told they do, some one else might be able to confirm?

No but there's no other reason for the bearing to fail.

I put sc10 4x4 hardware on the back of my SC10 - not because I ever broke, it, but because I watched everyone else break it.
