how much servo torque do you guys recommend for the notorious

 

[WoodiE]

@Skifflife88 anything around the 300 oz/inch (or more) will provide plenty of steering power.

I'd suggest checking out our Recommended Arrma Outcast & Notorious Upgrades thread on servo suggestions as well.

This ^ also look for something with a speed below .15sec/60 deg.

thx guys this helped alot

best bang for the buck; I run both of these.

If you don't mind waiting on the slow boat this is the best bang for your buck lol https://www.banggood.com/4X-JX-PDI-...=detail-top-buytogether-auto&cur_warehouse=CN

They can be hard to find US shipping.

I bought from this ebay seller and they arrived 3 days late during holiday season. Not mad.
After I contracted them, they credited me $5. I gave em a 5* review and ignored the shipping question. All good.
Anyway, if you need 7346MG I got mine in 12 days from "Kentucky" to South Louisiana from raisings_50 and at about $52ea.

Hi @joostin420. I was just checking out the JX 6221. It doesn't state whether it's waterproof or not. Has it given you any problems in damp conditions?

 

[joostin420]

Don’t think it’s waterproof. I don’t run in damp conditions though - too ocd and keep my things like new

I live in Toronto and unfortunately, damp is a fact of life. Don't plan on running it on a pond or the like, but 6 months of snow and rain means getting wet is unavoidable. Thanks for the heads up.

I run the savox sw 1210sg in all my 1/8scale Arrma rigs and most of my 10th scales. Never have issues with them.

I have the 1210sg in my Slash. More than one member here, run the JX servos in their 1/8's. Just something new to consider.

 

[The bashist]

That lol servo gives me all I need for bashing tbh. I do appreciate the suggestion though, I will have to at least try it and see if I like or prefer that over my sw1210's

Hi @joostin420. I was just checking out the JX 6221. It doesn't state whether it's waterproof or not. Has it given you any problems in damp conditions?

It is not waterproof, but waterproofing a servo is pretty easy.
You will need -

• Silicone conformal coating - https://www.amazon.com/MG-Chemicals...01&sr=8-1&keywords=silicone+conformal+coating
• Marine grease - https://www.amazon.com/Lucas-Oil-10...words=marine+grease&psc=1&smid=A1TFBK3C7LO58P

1. Open the case of the servo by removing the 4 Phillips screws in the bottom of the case.
2. Coat the circuit board in the conformal coating, then allow to dry. If you have a black light this stuff is UV reactive so you can see if you missed a spot.
3. Put circuit board back in the case, you can put some marine grease in with it for some extra assurance.
4. Coat the gears in marine grease and reassemble the case.
5. Done.

You can also use the conformal coating for receivers.

are you running the 46kg with a BEC?

 

[joostin420]

No, running with internal bec of the hw max5 esc’s.

 

[Mr.Duke]

Ah, I forgot you were running the max5's in you rigs. Wonder if I can get away with running that servo with the stock system

I don't see why not.

 

[joostin420]

You should be okay

 

[The bashist]

May I ask as to why you don't run the blx esc?
