Hs-55 servo swap evo?

Update:

I finally got time to just about finish it. Just need to solder some wires and drive!!

I Cut up part of the servo gear case and installed half of it in so i could it to turn and screw it in on the top of the chassis for durability.

I used the longest servo arm and shaved off some parts and made a larger hole for a screw. I put a screw in it. For the tie rod i drilled and sanded the thing that sticks up so i can turn in the back so i can get it to turn.


you can see how the servo is hooked up to the tierod





I like how it turned out. It was worth it. I don't have any servo jitter it steers at it's fullest at all times. It is a lot faster to steer. Now i need some better tires. I have the lift kit on the car so i can drive it outside in the street with minimal damage. I think it was worth it..

I couldn't get it to steer in the right direction so i turned to the controller/remote and put it on left hand driver and i turned the steering radius all the way down and it still turns to far. the servo is jumping out of place.(kind of.) I really like it. it looks hard to install but it really isn't, it is just getting the right setup.

Edit: The awd drive upgrade does not work. The hs-55 can't steer for some reason. O well i don't care. I just got done tunning it. Works well but it doesn't like to center it self very well. I figured it out tho. The steering trim was on it's highest, making the servo move from it's original spot.

Here's something you should make sure you do:

1) remove the servo horn from the servo
2) turn on the remote and the car so that the servo is centered
3) place the servo horn back on, making sure its centered well.

If you don't to this, and your servo horn is off center, when you turn it on and the servo recenters itself, your wheels won't be pointed straight, and a ton of stress will be put on the servo. Its an easy fix if you just follow the steps...
