only $49 and 46kg of torque. I am starting to feel overwhelmed with all of these "upgrades" I am buying a $550 truck and it needs a new radio out of the box pretty much. then bumpers , chassis braces, and now im hearing the servo can crap out in a run or 2.. i guess im starting to get concerned that im buying into something that needs another $200 to be good to run regularly . if i got a savox 1210 they are close to $100 for the servo .. Its kinda frustrating to buy a RTR and have to replace a bunch of parts

You don't NEED to replace anything out of the box (except maybe the radio). Run it first and you soon find out what YOU think needs replacing. That said I did find the steering servo to be weak first run on my Kraton.

Hi!
This will do just fine:

But - if you're not tightening your servo saver he stock one will last long time.

thanks i think im just a little overloaded with information .. you are right get the car and drive it
I bought a spektrum Dx5 with 1600 receiver already (i heard stock tactic radio is awful)
maybe ill get a tbone front bumper and rear skid plate (prevent rookie mistakes)
front and rear chassis braces from voltage

i will just wait for anything else to break on its own no use getting worried about a new truck

The stock TACTIC radio is actually a very good radio. The stock SPEKTRUM STX2 radio is terrible. If you get a current model V4, it will have an STX2.

Get the dsservo 25kg servo. Should be able to find it for about 12 bucks. Fast, strong and won’t die on you.

This is where the confusion and too many info sources can get us in trouble. Some people hear that Arrma has a bad radio because the v4 models come with that STX2. The Tactic radio that was standard prior is excellent for a rtr radio and even worth buying as a replacement.
As mentioned above though, you really don't have to do anything to run it out of the box and have a big time. I've never replaced a servo on Arrma because it failed...only did it to upgrade to stronger / faster. Other leading brands (that may even run two servos for some dumb reason) I replaced after quickly failing. Lots of folks that want to find fault in Arrma will repeat things that they hear without first-hand experience. Hobby Shops that get bonused or whatever deal theyve made for selling alternate leading brands may be the worst about spreading disinformation.

I run the JX CLS-HV7346MG in pretty much all my rigs.

This is what I have in my Notorious and it's been very good to me. I'm still on the stock in my Kraton v4.

 

[joostin420]

Still on stock servo in my Keaton also ?

Wait till things fail or start to and replace when your doing regular maintenance. That way you can get to know the ins and outs of the car. Check out Jenny’s rc On line. Very helpful for oem parts.

Yup still stock servo. She has seen the moon a few times over. That "weak" servo saver is perfect for a basher.

DX5C is what I have. All of the DX5xxx series are great. Tactic TTX300 was superb, probably the best "basic" 3 channel RTR. Flawless response and rugged. Great range. I have 5 of them floating around. Used on my Axial Crawlers as well. Tactic had a good run under Hobbico. I am a guy who had the top tier Futaba radios for 20 years. Their servos and all. Things have changed. Futaba and Sanwa still have the best response times IMO but not necessary. I don't Race anymore.

I also have five of them but having trouble finding receivers for my FlySky in the US. Soon enough when I find them I'll put the Tactics in classifieds...keeping one just to have, I think. It's worth it to consider the Tactic vs buying a multi-feature and model memory radio for folks that don't plan to have lots of models. For the occasional basher that just likes to have fun here and there and not so interested in more channels or tweaking details, it's a good system / great value.

That's why 3 of my Crawlers use the TTX300. And I give them out to use and not worry about them. They are cheap radios that always work. I trailed through a rain storm with one and it still works. Crawlers don't need much tweaking. And The TTX300 has Steering Endpoint as well as ST. Dual Rate. Show me a cheap radio with 3 channels and those two settings. And Crawlers really need ST. Endpoint.

Yeah i wish mine was coming with a tactic but i got the newer v4 kraton..
I really wanted steering and throttle trim dials on the unit like the tactic has .. i noticed the DX5C doesn't have those options? i wonder if i should return the DX5C and get the tactic?

 

[jeffreyblx]
