Mark, that servo would be perfect in 1/8. Or you can run an Ace 1015, I ran one in my eight for awhile and then put it in my 2wd.

Its a great servo and you can buy a complete gear set for it.

That Jr is insane though. If you want a servo with a lot of torque, but not that much look at this servo.

I have another version of this servo, but it is almost the same one. I have had it for over 2 seasons in my 1/8 and it is in great condition except for the wire. It was melted a little bit when a reciever pack shorted out in my kyosho. It still works with out a problem.

Chris, would more anti squat keep the nose down more during acceleration and give me more on power steering? Maybe I should sell you my SP and buy an FS. It looks like it would have more steering with the weight of the motor so far forward. I wonder if it gets loose in the rear with lipo's?

brian here is a small write up on exit steering



INCREASE EXITING STEERING
If you want increased steering exiting the corner with this setup you have a couple of adjustment options. (1) you can move the rear hubs towards the rear of the car. The further you move your rear hubs back will give you more overall steering and less overall rear traction. (2) you can add more .030 washers under the front camber tie rod. This will decrease the camber change as the suspension compresses which gives you more steering when you exit the corner. (3) You can move the front spindles to the "Up" position. This lowers the front ride height which also gives you more exiting steering............. these are three easy adjustments that you can make that will only take a couple of minutes to change and will make a big difference in your exiting steering.

No, we don't have that in stock. Its pretty much a standard digital camera USB cable which many people already own.

Thanks for the info BUT...

(1) you can move the rear hubs towards the rear of the car. The further you move your rear hubs back will give you more overall steering and less overall rear traction. I understand this one. Moving the rear wheels back puts more weight onto the front wheels.
(2) you can add more .030 washers under the front camber tie rod. This will decrease the camber change as the suspension compresses which gives you more steering when you exit the corner. Which car is this for? If its for the B44 it will be the opposite of the Lazer. "as the suspension compresses" makes no sense to me? When you exit a corner the weight gets transferred to the back of the car and the front suspension "DEcompresses".
(3) You can move the front spindles to the "Up" position. This lowers the front ride height which also gives you more exiting steering Also makes no sense? I thought that I wanted to have more travel (droop) in the front so the wheels would stay in contact with the ground as the front end lifts?
