A hump pack will give you 6v vs 4.8v of the AA. You can probably find one for under 20 bucks. I've been a HiTec servo guy for a while. Some are futuba and there are other. It like the old ford, chevy thing. I thing a HiTec 645MG would get the job done for you. I think they are around 35 new but can get them cheaper on ebay. There also digital traxxas servo like the 2070 that should have enough torque and are more common on ebay. The right place at the right time on ebay and it .99 plus shipping. I haven't ever been at the right place or right time to get one that cheap but rumor is it can be done. Those both have around 130oz of torque using a 6v battery pack. Some where around 100 or less using a 4.8v. So there is a difference in torque for the sevo at the differnt voltage.

How long you had the ls10? You have the stock receiver and radio in it? I don't think it matters I think all receivers can take up to 6v now. Remember though if you hook up a 6v hump pack and your receivers starts smoke. You have Gee to thank for putting you on the fast track to a Radio system upgrade.




Come to think about it I've never owned a new out of the box LS10. They might have the fuel tubing or a small o-ring installed you'll have to check the other side. But that is the trick that is used to keep the dog at home.
