I mean come on don't tell me that picture didn't cross your mind when you thought about how much torque is in one of those bad boys. I know it would be very unlikely unless you just had a major brian fart and didn't set your EPA but still.

thats why most claimed issues with manufacturers are chocked up to user error

On the flip side of that, have seen the braking on a truggy with 486in/oz of torque? I got my truck to do a front flip at full lock and full speed. It's a sight to behold.

It's nice being able to go into a corner hotter and deeper and know that you have the brakes to pull it off.

Are you trying to pull your carb slide out of the carb with a servo.


Those things are a beast on Torque a little to much for the throttle if you ask me, but yes you could run them there if you choose too. 486oz of Torque on the carb is pretty intense.
i ask only cause i hear about some problems with the 7940. i'm not 100% sure if i want lipo yet, so thats why i ask if a 7955 or 7950 would be to slow for buggy steering or throttle/brake use. looks like .12 for the 7950(on lipo) and .15 for the
7955 (on nimh). also it would be great to only have 1 kind of servo that way i could switch it out if one fails for t/b or steering. i've always had .10 or less as a buggy steering or
throttle/ brake servo, so would i notice a difference???

The only issue I had with the 7950 on the throttle was stripping the Losi horn inserts under braking. I had the EPA set perfect on the throttle but was too aggressive with the brake. I toned the brakes down a tiny bit and installed an aluminum throttle horn.

Yes both the 7955 or 7950 would have plenty of speed for a buggy in steering or throttle.

You can run the 7955 on direct lipo with out any issues as well. It will probably make it a big stronger and faster as well.


A front flip from braking thats pretty sweet. I have only seen indos so far no one pull a full front flip out the bag though.

I have heard Integra dropping hints that they have one on the horizon, but the Touch screen comment you just dropped is a first.

Sounds like someone at Hitec is thinking about the big kid in all of us that wants all the baddest stuff electronic wise we can find!!

Can't wait to see pics and specs on this one.
