Infraction Lost steering and throttle mid run

So I unplugged the servo and motor fan attached to the heat sink. Powered it up and got throttle/reverse working. I plugged in the servo again and powered up and now everything is bloody working!? Seems like the servo was the issue but all seems fine again. I’m not gonna risk losing throttle and steering in the middle of a run again. Upgrades are happening. I’ll have to settle & play with King Kraton in the mean time.
 
Like I said, only 2 possibilities. Either overheating of ESC or ad servo. I suggest getting a cheap servo, no idea what is available down-under. There is a lot of good feedback on DS3225KG servos from knock-off china brands. It will overheat quickly if you are using the speed pinion, it won't on the stock one. tried it myself in high temps here in FL.
You don't need 25kg, 15-20 should be sufficient.n Something like below, the 35kg is a good pick for the Kraton. If you do order, get a sare or 2 at that price but mine have not failed yet.

Who do you think makes the actual hardware that are labeled “Firma” amd “BLX”? Yep, they are all Hobbywing. 🤷‍♂️
I didn't know that, i knew the blx was a hobbywing rebadge but i didn't know spektrum did it too.

The max 6 is still 8s ready though and the stock firma is only 6s so the max 6 is still a better replacement despite them being made in the same place.

Thanks mate, everything is pretty much available down under, there’s too much choice tbh, I’ll check out those options, I’m probably going to get one for my kraton and typhon too, may aswell upgrade the the holy trinity, i probably won’t go over 25kgs for the fraction..
