SC10 Thread Part 2
#4113
have you checked how much it would cost to make that part from aluminum? I bet it's very expensive. Nothing about that part is CNC Mill friendly lol. I bet to MFG one of those, it will cost you more than the truck itself. The way you have designed that part, it would virtually need a 5 axis mill to complete it (very $$$) when it comes to stuff like this...the K.I.S.S. way of thinking is king....especially if you plan to market/sell things like that.
We're striving to make the best parts possible--something that would give you a performance advantage over other racers!

Hey, I have a sc10rs rtr and decided to to upgrade the steering servo, the local hobby shop recommended and sold me a Tactic tsx40 servo, and I have some questions. I took out the stock one, and realized the gear was larger on the new one so I couldn't use the stock arm, is this because it is not the correct servo I should be using? Also, it came with some white plastic arms, so I tried one of those and I couldn't get my ball joint to screw into it, as the hole was too small. I mocked up the stock arm with the servo installed, and it wouldn't fit as the top gear on the servo stuck out too far in comparison to the stock one, the arm was hitting the bulkhead, or top plate. I am very new to this hobby, so If this description makes any sense, is there something I'm missing or doing wrong? Or is this simply not the correct servo? Thank you

The arms and disks that come with servos are mostly for airplane use. Cars need a stiffer arm, frequently they are vehicle specific.
