Hey Rich. I was wondering what you made you choose this servo for a crawler type rig? I know you usually go with a quality servo for your builds and I couldn't help but wonder why you didn't choose something with more torque for the rocks? 312oz in will have a tough time bound up on the rocks...you're only running 6 volts too (so it will really struggle to move those tires on the rocks). 400oz in minimum in a crawler, in my experience. The more the better when those tires are going to get bound up on the rocks! I run 500+oz in servos in all my crawlers and trail rigs so I was surprised to see this one in the build. Looks awesome otherwise!! Thoughts? Cheers!
@TheRCNetwork
4 жыл бұрын
This servo was sent over from Horizon to be featured on the Capra - as well as a trio of other products (brushed electronics) - I wasn't aware that they were sending this, as I already planned on the Tekin set up. I do plan to delete the dig servo after the initial testing and ramp this back up to full power. But yes, 500 oz/in is a standard here for my U4 rigs and crawlers....we will see how this handles

@@TheRCNetwork The reason I was asking was because of clearance issues with the rear link mount I have seen others having trying to fit ROC412 2300's in their Capra's. I know 540's are the largest that will fit the Capra at the moment but not all 540's are made the same. Compare a Slate 2280kv which is a 540 canned motor measuring 49.5mm in length and fits in my own Capra no problems whatsoever and a ROC412 2300 (also a 540 motor) measuring 52.5mm in length (same length as the 3100 version btw), that's a whole 3mm difference there. Don't sound like much but it's enough of a difference that a ROC412 2300 has clearance issues with a Capra's rear link mount as my brother pointed out to me with his Capra build and as I have seen on a Capra forum post where someone shows the trimming they had to do to get their ROC412 2300 to fit correctly..
