Hitec 7955TG on steering, Savox 1267MG on throttle. That's what I use and love it

Hitec 7940 throttle and 7950 steering. Or 7955 on both. End of story.

Hitec 7955tg for steering these things are bullet proof and I just put on a Savox 1258tg for throttle just to try it out, everyone's raving about them although it's not as strong but its much faster. Hope it'll be as reliable as the Hitec.

The case can look fine but still need replaced. If the inside bearing comes out when you push the pinion out, replace the case.

I am usingthe Savox 1268 servos on both steering and throttle in my 6t. I think the Savox servos will be at home in the Losi as they are much lower profile and will never hit the bottom like other taller brands. I have been running these since nov in the truggy and I'm happy with them. Also great specs for the price and they will take lipo without a reg.

Default NEW CONICAL SHOCK PISTONS FOR THE MBX6 BUGGY AND TRUGGY



M2C RACING is pleased to announce the release of our new conical hole shock
pistons. After much testing by Barry pettit and Josh holifield we have come up with a piston that gives about the same pack on the compression stroke
(UP) and super quick decompression stroke(down) that helps the vehicle settle much quicker after a jump or rough track. This means you can get on
the throttle quicker. Barry proved this at the Physco nitro this past weekend.

part no. 5980

Default NEW CONICAL SHOCK PISTONS FOR THE MBX6 BUGGY AND TRUGGY



M2C RACING is pleased to announce the release of our new conical hole shock
pistons. Made with delrin and held to .004 less than the shock body to give a very smooth action.
Piston holes are drilled to 1.2 dia.

Note: you may have to change shock fluids to fit your driving style.

Other than that, I've not had that problem so rather clueless.

i need some suggestions for getting better steering from my vehicle, using hitec 7950 servo. the servo saver is tight ( getting kock to lock out of it) as of right now im wondering if i could possibly have completely way too much tow out, after comparing truggys sde by side with a fellow racer. his truggy has less tow out and seems to driv e wherever its aimed. my truggy on the otther hand seems to push really bad. its bad enought i need to use the brake alot more often thn id like to be

Check your brakes bias, you may have too much front brake, you do want it to lock up, In front or rear, about 60% rear, 40% front. Your idle may be to high also, or throttle not returning completely.

the idle is fine.the front brake seems ok. i think the problems is on power steering. i adjusted it to have less droop, that didnt work so i put it back. ive lower the front, raise the rear, put diff shock oil. i havent tried different weight diff oil. i dont kmow ,uch about it. i havent tried diff camber\caster\tow
