Wow! Great!

One of these should be stronger than both of the stock ones. By using two of them at 6v, turning fully from stop to stop at a standing still should be no problem at all.

NICE! But you need some real tires on that thing.

Actually, I kinda like the new improved E maxx tires. They are stiffer than the originals and don't seem to swell as bad.

Real Tires? Got any suggestions?

On the point of servos, I bought a couple of these a little while back, supposedly rebadged MG995s, as an upgrade to my HS645Mgs. My god, never have I seen such poor quality servos- only about 30* of throw in either direction, and they wouldnt hold center/neutral without constantly buzzing, and thats without bolting them into the Gmaxx. Hopefully though you will get genuine MG995s and not some rebadged junk like I did (which I ended up reselling for a small profit, thankfully).

I see some subtle differences in the casing designs when comparing the two. So I hope these will be better than your experience.

I'll find out soon and post the results.

I bought a pair of them last night, so i will try them too. Could not pass up the deal, even if they go in a pede!, or see use as a brake servo!

These must've been what I ended up with - it's been so long I can't remember now

Your symptoms sounded just like mine- I was bitterly dissappointed too. Hopefully Sikes will be the real deal though- different case design sounds promising at least.

I got the Servo's in today!!!

Got them installed and am topping off my Lipo's now.

I set the truck down on the carpet, they will quickly turn stop to stop with no hesitation. Much stronger than the stock ones!

I don't sense any jitter at all.

Looks good so far.

I'll run it in a few minutes. That will be the true test.

sikeston34m · 02.09.2008, 03:25 PM

These Servo's are GREAT!

I detect no jitter. They are MUCH more powerful AND faster than the stock ones.

I rate them a 10 on the "money well spent" scale.

I'll probably be getting some more soon.

Let us know what you think Linc. Like I said, I don't have any experience comparing servos really. But I can't imagine those $100 each servo's being much better than these. Very satisfied here !

I've got six of these, you can't get better servos for this price. Two of them are running on 7V for over 3 months, they are still working well, have got tons of torque and are fast.

I have 2 on the way and now to sell my water proof ones and buy some more

I did some changes and made another run.

I changed the 22 tooth pinion gear over to the 25 tooth mod 1.

Then changed the 40 tooth spur over to the 36 tooth spur.

The AXI 2826/10 motor still handles it fine. Top Speed is noticably greater. BUT........there's the "word" again.

Cogging is there but ONLY on startup. Any rolling speed at all and it's gone. The old 1/4 throttle blip does the trick to get it going.

Runtime is down.......came down from 25 minutes to about 20 minutes
Motor temps are up........probably 150-160 range.
Lipos are pretty warm........100 range
ESC is cold.
Ambient is 58 degrees outside today.

I think the better setup will be the 2826/8 with a 22 tooth pinion/40 tooth spur. We will soon find out.

So, you are going to a higher kv motor and back to the gearing that worked well. What kind of speed are you expecting?

I know, I am lazy, I could plug it into the speedcalc, but I am sure that you have already done that.

4S with the new motor will top out right at 30mph, but on 6S will go up to 45mph.

This all depends on temps of course. Perhaps 5S will be the sweet spot at 38mph.

This setup really has some good acceleration. Makes for a fun basher.
