Just putting my 22x together and found your channel and subbed 👍 just wondering about the servo you went with as how it has held up over time? Thanks for any help ✌️
Thanks for your comment and viewership, and sorry for the very late reply! I've had to focus on other priorities for the past year and change, but I'm hoping to start dedicating time back to this channel very soon! To answer your question, My TLR buggies were all outfitted with Spektrum S6240Rx servos. I went with this choice primarily for the space savings (since the receiver is embedded in the servo itself), and the fact that Spektrum also offers an integrated servo mount that replaces the mounting horns on the servo body with an integrated mount to place it exactly where TLR engineers expect it to be. One extra upgrade I made to the servos was to add the metal face plate available for the S6240, since feedback online suggested that the plastic face plate could crack over time, leading to servo gear misalignment. With these two mods on the servo, I can tell you that I never had any problems. As I will be dedicating more time to the hobby, I can tell you that I'm planning on changing this configuration in the near future, due to what I think is the S6240Rx's only downside in my experience. It doesn't support HV. This is due to the embedded receiver, so I will be changing my setup in the near future. I do hope you tune in to find out when I start producing new videos again soon! For my on-road touring cars, I have them outfitted with Tekin T-180 low profile servos. The ability to tune them and set dead center by way of an app sold me on them. I can't say that I've had a bad experience with any of my Tekin products... and full disclosure - I am not sponsored by anyone - especially not any companies mentioned above.
