My $27 Et-Maxx !

[radioman193]

then i did my steering mod

Traxxas Steering SUX !!!!
i did a mod to my steering so i dont need to buy a 40+ dollar servo just to steer the thing.
cause my steering servo went for a meltdown bigtime.
Now i can use a cheeper high speed metal gear servo.
on all the traxxas rc's that i have had the steering was poor and why it is this way because of the leverage is WAY to low .
all you need to do is to extend the leverage and you will not need 50lbs of force to steer with.
and with ALOT less stress on the servo.
now it turns ALOT sharper than with the old 208g servo and the speed is fine.
now i can over steer and flip the truck over verry easy ......

my steering mod here :





the extention i put on the servo will flex as it is NOT HARD plastic!
Acting as a "servosaver"
thats why it was not made of steel.







This is the Same servo i use
and now have 3 of them Completely Waterproof now .



and thay are SWEET!!!!!!!!!!
