Notorious The Glorious Notorious V5 Build and upgrade thread.

you use a Y adapter or something to connect it all up?

Yes for that one I believe so. But now I just solder thev2 fans wires together then run it to the aux power port on the V5 Firma Esc. Much cleaner and easier.

Thank you so much for this detailed build, I’m upgrading the servo on my notorious and bought the same parts you listed (HR servo mount and steering link, and servo). Could you help me understand what you did to solve this:

“Just like before this sits a bit higher so I had to use some plastic spacers and a longer screw to attach to the bellcrank.”

What did you use for plastic spacers and did you have to buy a longer screw as well?

thanks!

For the spacers I used some plastic thick washers I had. But pretty much any washer that takes up the space will work. And yes I use a longer screw. Here is a pic of the spacer for reference. Hope this helps.

Great, I’ll visit my local hardware to find something similar.

Did you have to 1 or 2 spacers?

And there’s no servo saver in this setup right?

Off hand I think it was 2. It doesn't have to be perfectly level, a slight angle wont hurt. And the servo saver is the spring you see on one of the steering posts.

I just spoke with RPM and they are currently making products to fit the V5 and exb models. They told me a few months possibly and to watch for them on there Facebook page as thats where they will announce them first. I also asked about arms for the V3 Typhon but have not heard back yet. But just figured id let yall know there definitely in the works.
