Project Race Gorillamaxx G3R

[Motoman]

I'm using a single servo setup as well and it works great. I went with the new JR Z9100T, it has plenty of both speed and Torque.
Torque: 300 oz/in @ 4.8V, 370 oz/in @ 6V
Speed: .18 sec / 60 degrees @ 4.8V, .15 sec / 60 degrees @ 6V
It's a little pricey but well worth it.
Nice Truck BTW!
That radio sounds really nice, is it a "Spektrum type" radio?

On a monster truck once you pass 200oz of torque or so speed starts to matter. Less then 200oz the speed means nothing. Obviuosly the setup and tire size can effect this, but generally this is what I found.

I still like the old Airtronics 200oz .10sec servos. They do the job very nicley on a MT without going overboard on the price.

And with DYE you mean? Is that kind of like coloring them in boiling water or what?

Thank you! I hope there will be an update in the beginning of the next week, i will probably get my shocks and some other stuff then.

Then you! I really love the radio! It have all the functions that i need, and more. And it feel great in my hand and gives a very good feeling for driving. I think it will be really nice to drive the G3R wit it and be able to see Batt-voltage, ESC/motor-temp and other cool stuff.

The speeds are under no load, and steering creates quite a bit of load - enough load as to where the speeds will be no where near the servo's rating...

For steering, torque is ALWAYS more important than speed unless speed is slower than like half a second or so, but the slowest servo I know of is still .25 seconds.

Your choice though.

Also, I'm not sure why you are using a G3R to crawl, the truggy style chassis will get hung up on just about anything...

It may be so, but i haven't decided yet about the servos. Maybe i will use just one 5955GT. But i really do like the look of two servos and this truck will be a very all-round but mostly cool-looking truck. And i think that the 10.6Kg that each 5965MG produces will be enough. So i will probably go with dual servos...

And the crawling part is not serious, it's just more something that i do when i'm at home and bored. I do very well know that the G3R isn't any good at crawling, to low and individual suspension. But hey, it's what i got and it will do for me. But i think that what i'm doing in my backyard is more like bashing...

That radio sounds really nice, is it a "Spektrum type" radio?

That sound like a nice servo to. But once again that's just one servo, which will leave me with one open hole in the other side.

And no it's not a Spektrum type radio, it's better! It's faster and more reliable, and i also think it has longer range to.
