The picture below shows how nicely everything fit in the chassis.
Anyway lets continue the saga:
The blue servo pictured is the HiTech HS 50 feather servo. It was fast, small, and light. Also, I was able to mount all the electronics low, directly on the chassis. Remember, this car already has a high center of gravity with the motor being mounted so high up above the drive shaft!
OK, so what were some of my viable options:
1. made my own servo saver
2. ensure the front wheels would not get knocked.
3. thrown in the towel on this "perfect" little sevo and make room for a bigger one.
Well, lets go through them one by one. Number one I had an idea on but no parts, not many tools to use (also, I am not a very good fabricator). This choice was probably the most difficult.
Number 2, well, I had a thought about a metal half circle around each front tire. BUT this would have made the whole car wider not to mention look like hell :lol:
I settled on number 3…..give up on what I was convinced was the miracle servo!
So, I got on-line and did some research on SMALL servos. I settled on the servo the next size up, the Hitech HS 60. I ordered it, and a set of replacement gears for it
