correct. Also take into account that different brands rate their servos different way as there is no set standard on testing and coming up with stats.

Hitec could have a .15sec 60degree transit time on their servos and Bluebird might be .10 secs but the hitec will seem faster when installed in your vehicle. That's just an example

I think JR servos "seem" faster than what they are rated. Futaba seem about what they are rated. Airtronics IMO seem a little slower than what they are rated.

You cannot go wrong with FUT9351 on steering and FUT9451 on th/br. Killer servos at about $80-90 each. (check site for stats www.futaba.com )

If you want to budget buy a little more the JR650z seems really fast installed at .17secs for $49 (142oz of torque)...(I just sold a used one in great shape for $30)

I just wanted to put this out there if any of you guys that have the revo wanted a pair of the Xwings that Tornado Racing was makeing or still is I have all the part numbers and can post them or send them to you so you can make your own and give them a try.

what are xwings?

Toughtrax · (#179 (**permalink**))

Xwings are front oneway shafts for the front axles. Kind of like a front oneway in a TC but there on each side in the axles

O so like the quickturn but instead of in the frint driveshaft coming from the trans they are in each of the front driveshafts... why use 2 when one would accomplish the saome thing?? Just seems like more parts to break.

Tex · (#181 (**permalink**))

does it help you retain front brakes?

FreeRideFrosty · (#182 (**permalink**))

If it did wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the quickturn???

FreeRideFrosty · (#183 (**permalink**))

Tex any word on those wheels/tires???

Tex · (#184 (**permalink**))

SOLD to destroy_my_revo, he picked them up last night

FreeRideFrosty · (#185 (**permalink**))

I'm thinking of going to a single steering servo for my Revo and was wondering if a JR Z590M would work ok? I know there are better servos out there for this mod, but I have a brand new JR from my XS3 that I haven't used and is just sitting in the box. Let me know what you think.

Tex · (#187 (**permalink**))

IMO, no it's not strong enough. you'll be going from 160oz to 85oz of torque.

Mr. Tune · (#188 (**permalink**))

I wouldn't use that servo for the single servo conversion. It won't have enough torque. What I would do is put it in my pit box and keep as a spare incase of emergency

Is someone at LH going to have a revo starter box that I could line up my revo on to see if/where the HCR titanium skidplate doesn't work with a starter box???

Tex · (#190 (**permalink**))

yep, me....or Tune, or Ryan or a bunch of people. If they are planning to go that is.
