I might just get one of those.....

I used to have an HS-805BB in my TXT-1, that was an amazingly powerful servo (343 0z/in @ 6v), but you cant fit one on a GorillaMaxx chassis without drill extra holes, or fabbing up some kind of mounting plate. The advantage being that it is only about $30, and gives you even more torque, plus it wont kill your batteries. Only down side is the size, but I need a big ass servo to turn my humungous wheels...... *evil grin appears on his face*

Edit: Thanks for the tipoff pullstarter!
Maybe next I'll go for the 5955tg. I wish I had $80.00 to drop on that before their gone. Right now I need to figure out what kind of drive shafts to use. My truck is an E-Maxx with all 3.3 driveline. But I keep breaking the ears for the u-joints. I might switch to cvd's but I'm kind of afraid of the pins coming out all the time.

Could someone tell me about or post a link to explain how and why a ubec is used? I guess they are to power a servo or other device. But I would like to see one in action. :027:
