Outcast General consensus on servo upgrade

[dwblue00]

Just for future reference.....whats the best waterproof replacement to the stock steering servo in the outcast? Thanks in advance!

Savox 1210-SG. I mean that's the one....lol

That's what I have in my outcast. Seems to be a pretty good servo. It's the most I've spent on a single servo in my 18 years of RC... or it would have been if I didn't use amazon points to knock $30 off the price. Really great servo for the $54 I paid!

I had to get one for mine immediately because my stock servo died before I made my first turn in my parking lot the night I bought the truck.

Something a little different. ProModeler DS360DLHV I have this in both my Kraton and Outcast no problems at all. I didn't have to add anything else to make it work.

looks like a great servo 'The Milk Man', you posted this in Aug. , do you still recommend?

if you want to keep it on the cheap go with a JX waterproof.. $39.. more power than a savox too.... savox is a great servo though..

 

[superticky]

Which JX model Dutch213 ? I might need a new servo soon and maybe I can try something cheaper first to test the new HR mount before going with a Savox

Thanks !

 

[Lingerfelter6]

This gets my vote, the JX CLS5830HV

btw, don't buy from bangood...! It takes a long time to ship and if there is a problem with order you are basically stuck with it...I bought 2 servos a month ago and accidentally ordered 360 degree servos...now i have them and i look at them everyday and feel like an idiot.... Buy from rc juice...they are in the US.

Can't you set the end points on the 360's? I don't know myself, but you could probably make it work by making sure they don't go to far on either direction.

 

[Dutch213]

you probably can but the servo moves really slow and it doesn't go back to its set point...I installed the damn thing before even realizing it was a 360... when i turn the wheel it just stays there.... that was a bad day...lol

As @Brewcity414 would say, ah fiddlesticks!

 

[Dutch213]

lol...yeah the forum likes to correct the old f word...

Wrong dude. It's TraverseCity420 with the fiddlesticks.

The POWER HD DW-25LV is also a good replacement servo. It's rated 25kg (347 oz/in) at 6.0 volts and drops right in.
The BLX185 BEC is maxed at 6 volts so you don't need an external BEC for the high voltage servo's like the Savox 1210-SG (to get their full potential).
I've been running it for over 2 years in the Kraton and it now sits in the Thypon, had no issues and it's a huge improvement over the stock one.

If that's the case, then even at 6V, it seems strong and fast enough for me! LOL!

 

[JvG]

True, even at 6 volts it's a good servo. But at 7.4 volts it's much stronger and faster, you can really feel the difference when driving the rc.
And it feels wrong, like eating a good steak with a cheap wine ?

Does anyone have a video of the kraton steering working sitting still on the ground? Mine works flawless off the ground but will barely turn when put on the ground. I just burned up a new 25kg servo the first time I used it.
