Will just be installing a HS55 Servo motor into this one for a friend. Sadly my S10 is still down! But Ill run some standard tests to measure torque. Then try it in the rocks as well this weekend if the Servo gets here, and see how it stacked up compared to the S10.

I find the fact that the bed is so low to the chasis, that it cramps the articulation... Hopefully you'll find a way to improve it. ;) And just wondering, what happed to the S-10?

Stripped out the gearbox, didn't think to ever grease it up.

The body will be lifted some to accommodate the servo.

so you got a Titan to play doctor on this time huh?! (j/k):bigwink:

Know you and what you're capable of creating - I think a servo mod is a piece of cake to you :D .

And so the project begins, the servo finally came in.

And, for the comparison between the servo mod, and the Tamiya gearbox, I can almost say for certain, the Tamiya wins.

Compare the servo's motor to a 130 motor, and you catch my drift.


But so begins the work. Hopefully will have it moving by friday. If things work out, I can give it a helluva work out on the rocks in the yard, like in my S10's video.

i was thinking about getting a feather servo,but i kinda wanted to try and see if i could find a more high torqe servo and a smaller servo..
it looks like its not going to mount right,what chassie upgrades are you going to do to the titan??

Yeh, lost the hood of the S10 long ago. If you have one for the 96+ S10/Sonoma, PM me. :)

Your not going to get any smaller then this servo. I would bet a servo for a 1/18 truck would be small, and torquey. As far as the chassis, just locking the diffs.

All I have to say is, after converting a servo to go 360 degrees around, and such, I still prefer the Tamiya box with the ease of the build. But I got it converted tonight. And made a gear for it from one of the servo horns and a extra slipper-gear piece I had. Waiting for the CA glue to dry. It just might be done before the weekend enough to test.

The conversion is fully photo-documented for the later Crawler FAQ of doom.

Hot glue?

We all know the rims you have on it are worthless and don't improve performance. Your truck is a ricer. :lol:

EDIT:
How did you get full spin from the servo? The pot doesn't spin 360, but you need it to hold the gears.
