today I replaced the steering servo in my 3s Typhon . I ordered the
BETU 2Pack 25KG High Torque RC Servo Waterproof from amazon and used the ARRMA Servo Saver Set 25T, ARAC8883
like most people on this site recommended , I watch the video on you tube , pretty easy to install . I did the end point adjustment and took it for a ride and I put it through its paces , ran great , thank you for all the advice .
 
Was up late wrenching, so posting in the morning. Had good productive day yesterday. Replaced both front lower a arms on the typhotank (from pillow balls pulling out- the zip tie band-aids were failing) Work on frank-got my new max6 4985 1650kv combo earlier than expected so I soldered on a new ec5 & did my 2nd brain/heart transplant in a week. One of the fans conked out on me tho, I'll replace it when I get a new one- hence the masking tape stowing the wires. I'm definitely getting better/faster with all of this stuff the more I do it.

Put new lights on the typhotank (again). Kinda had to get creative with the mounting since I couldn't figure out how polo creations intended on mounting them & to keep them more inboard so they don't get ripped off (again!) Apparently they didn't send me the on/off switch & only 1 of the amber running lights works. From what I've heard/read about their customer service (or lack thereof) I'm just gonna write that off as a loss. I'll see if I can get them to work on my nb4

Had a productive wrenching session last nite/early this morning. Started with the Kraton chassis swap on Frank. Got everything moved over & inspected all three diffs as I went. Thank God I did- the front & center both had some kind of silver/blackish sludge in the bottom of them & the rear was almost dry! I cleaned up all the internals & swapped in hot racing aluminum diffs x3 & filled with 60k/200k/50k fcr. I'd been too leery of my own skills to really tear into any diff previously but had a little more confidence @ this point. Didn't seem like they needed any additional shims so they got buttoned up & reinstalled w/ hot racing aluminum diff covers.
On to those 55mm standoffs. How do yall attach the body mounts into the ends? I ended up threading a really long cap head bolt in there then cutting the head off & screwing the posts on, then bolting them to the tower. The problem I ran into is body clearance- I'm gonna have to drill two holes higher up in the towers I think?

Nothing. I am very sad. Today is the 1st day I am away from my little ones.......no, not my brats, they are here with me 🤣 ....my RCs!!! Ever since I bought my 3 Arrmas a month ago I have been wrenching, runnin' 'em or working on my track everyday. Got parts coming in mail today to house. I think I'm having withdrawal! 😂

Yea, yea, yea...you are at the beach with your fam for your 47th birthday weekend, enjoy it!

And yes, thought about bringing a rig, but salt water and sand aren't great friends with the rigs! Sand is too thick/loose here. I ain't cleaning all that out! Lol

I will enjoy, but I sure do miss my little buddies!! 😂👍✌️

At least I got AF!!! 😆 And my Arrma swag!!! REPRESENT BABY!!! YEAAAHHH BOOOOOOY!

Also, figured if I wear a lot of RC stuff someone may say "Hey, you bash?" and become my bashing buddy! (It's lonely in the RC world in Western MD) :unsure: :( ✌️

If I can't find any proper bean bags in town, I'll order some online and buy a pile of beanie baby stuffies to huck until the real bags show up. 🤣
