Re: "Chew Toy" recommendations
I was thinking an SCT of some sort, too. They have a large body that covers all the sensitive equipment (and sharp edges), they are easily tune-able and most are quite robust. Plus, cheap ones are all over the place. Nothing vintage about them at all, but they seem to fit the rest of the requirements.

Re: Turnigy Trackstar 80A Runaway
It kinda sounds like the high current draw is causing bec issues. Several esc's even warn that similar situations are possible if the battery can't meet the current demand. I don't know how reliable the internal bec is, but an inexpensive external one might fix the problem by drawing power upstream ...

Re: Turnigy Trackstar 80A Runaway
Could be the fail safe momentarily hitting throttle instead of brake until the signal is restored. What happens when you turn the radio off?

Re: Turnigy Trackstar 80A Runaway
What you probably need is lipo battery power to cure the brown out and turn the wick down on punch . Rats. I was hoping I could keep squeaking by with trickle charging on my old Pro-Tech 706. The glitch buster will help momentarily its not a cure but it will help bigtime...................... My vi...

Re: Rebuilding my JRX Pro-SE
Does anyone know if the threaded shock bodies for the XX and XXX can be put directly on the Pro SE shocks? If so, do I need a set of 0.9in for the front and 1.2in for the rear? https://www.ebay.com/itm/114945657972?epid=1300037374&hash=item1ac34b8c74:g:xO4AAOSwog5hH9-O All the info you need abo...

Re: Rebuilding my JRX Pro-SE
If you don't get the holes for the servo just right (as the previous owner of my LXT chassis did), you can use UV plastic weld to patch, then re-drill/countersink. It doesn't look perfect, but it works pretty well! I used Bondic brand. Here is the build thread. As far as oil viscosities go, I'm pret...

Re: What steering servos is everyone using?
Savox sc-1258tg is my go to servo for most applications these days. I needed a low profile servo for one of my cars and went with a Savox sc-1252mg.

Re: What steering servos is everyone using?
I run the same Savox on any of my cars that will be run regularly. If it is going to sit on the shelf most of its life, it will probably get a Fut S148.
I would have to be a paid racer before I would think about a $200+ steering servo.
