435 - Wild One Updated: Savox Sc-0252MG Servo

 

As said my Wild One has a new servo. Some adjustment have been necessary to use it with the #51000 servo saver: some tiny spacers unser the servo mounts and 5mm uniballs for a easier installation on the servo saver horn (smallest ones have a much shorter thread).

First set up (dating back to the build of the car) with smaller ball adjusters now swapped with bigger ones.

Steering rods look a bit angled to my preferences but it's the best config with #51000 servo saver, all works smoothly so I guess it's good enough.

During the shakedown I've noticed that the LRP that powers my Blitzer felt a little hot so I've checked if the pinion is the 13t recomended for faster motors.

The installed pinion is a Carson one made out of steel as a straight copy of the Tamiya made out of aluminum: it's roughly machined and, as the rust on its surface witness, without any treatment.

So the day for the first run has came! I've used the battery charged a week before without repeaking but the result have been pretty satisfying. Maybe it needs a thicker grease for the differential and I have to check if the 13t pinion is installed (motor was a little hot).
