Mini LST2 - Needs new servo - 06.14.2009, 11:50 AM

Well, I was running my Dads MLST2. And then I heard ''crack'' Now it doesn't steer very well. I know that MLST2 Servo's suck. So I'll buy a new one.
I want some cheap servo that fits and is better than the stock servos. (I prefer 1 servo)
I DON'T want the exotek 1 servo chassis because that one costs a fortune...

So does anybody knows a good servo for my Dads MLST2?

Thanks,

Patrick

I run JR s241mg's in mine. I went through quite a few stock servos, then I put these in. They're an (almost) direct drop in, only minor drilling required (on an easily replaced part, not the chassis itself), and are really solid.

I keep blowing diffs on it now (got a shim kit to see if I can fix that), but have had 0 servo issues since I dropped in the 241's.

I run two, not sure if they have enough torque to run just 1.

Thank you for your fast reply Tony!

I looked on internet, but those servo's costs 40 dollar each! Aren't there cheaper servos? (without doing to much modifications)


Did you already tried to do the little gears (so the 4 ones in the diff, I forgot the name) in hot water for 10 minutes? I heard that the diffs will be much harder to destroy if you do that...

I've got plans to redo the diffs with boiling the gears, just haven't taken the time to do it.

I didn't bother trying any other cheaper servos, yeah, they're $40 each, but it did put a total end to needing to fix them any more!

The first thing I'll do is, like you said; boiling the gears...

I'm gonna search for a cheap servo/servos now.. $40 each is too much IMO
