Kraton Servos for 1/5 exb kraton

[slick]

Yes, great choice of wheels. Just heads up you may have to drill the middle hole a little bigger to fit the Kraton. A simple step drill bit should do the trick.

18mm i have a brank new one

I have a couple cheaper alternatives but am prepared to get a "quality" 1/5 servo when they fail. so far so good though.

So far so good. Not crazy fast but strong enough. The only thing I have to compare to is the stocker and they are both better. I was just giving these a shot before spending 2-300 on a long term fix.

why are they so cheap

From what I understand the gears on the inside are made from cheaper metals. I'm no servo nerd though..

You should post here and ask first before you go waste your hard earned money

I have a powerhd in my k8s and I still feel like the truck doesn't steer.

Maybe, I just have to get used to the size of the thing

Does anyone know if this will fit the
1/5 tray? Is anyone running it? Seems like a fair price for the power you get from it

If not I’ll bust out my calipers later and measure the tray vs the servo specs.

Thanks all

It's a normal size 5th scale servo so yes it will fit

For the servo you would need the 1/5 case to mount it with, i have used powerhd before in other trucks with good luck, seems like decent servos with good durability.

For the arms if you want to try something else buy rpm arms, rpm have very good products, honestly i think stock arms is doing good, rpm in most cases is more flexible and take more beating.

Ask here before you have plans to purchase more upgrades there is a jungle out there, not every brand/upgrades is a upgrade, in some cases a downgrade like with aluminium arms unfortunately

Hobbystar crapped out today. No warning, or acting weird, just quit turning all of the sudden. What are you running? I guess I'll get a good one this time. I'd like to get the AGFRC but it's nearly 300. The primal is slow?

all the cheap 1/5th servos are slow. I actually had a JX get hot AF and die in my rovan f5 recently. I'm 99% sure the JX 1/5th servo is the same as the primal just rebranded. You either have to buy a cheap servo that is slow and can die or buy an expensive servo that is fast and can still die.

You might be able to fix your servo if you open it up and have a look inside. Ol boy coolter on the discord just recently went through the same thing. Worth poking around in there for sure. They're pretty simple on the inside too so you will definitely spot the problem and whether you can fix it or not.

I have the 70kg primal and yes it’s slow. It’s durable and it’s in a monster truck so I haven’t felt the need to replace it yet. I wouldn’t buy it again though.

I run a Spektrum 9120 in my DBXL and it is a monster. Fast and powerful. Couldn’t ask for more.

haha man I want that servo. It's hard when you have so many big rigs though. I don't even know which one I'd put it in and I don't think I can buy one for all of them

I've got the 9120 in my dbxl-e as well... @ 8.4v it's a beast!!! Mike

I’ve seen a lot of guys running that power hd servo but I’m looking for something a lil more expensive. That spektrum one is looking good so far

 

[Niz55]

Agfrc is the way to go. Puts the spektrum to shame.

I looked them up and I still haven’t decided

Which spektrum?

 

[Jon NC RC]

Return the aluminum and put the stock plastic arms back on.

Yeah....I had to reason on the 'Metal is not always better" thing for a while a couple years back

metal may look nice

But its true that it causes more harm than good for certain things
