According to traxxas the servo stripped due to “misuse”
@usssoupership14 күн бұрын
@joellofquist2537 Hello and thanks for commenting. i would say the original servo in my truck has been abused beyond it capabilities. Big tires heavy wheels and alot of use. It's been through a hard life. I'm not disappointed. More surprised it lasted as long as it did. That rig weighs over 830g.
@joellofquist253714 күн бұрын
@ that’s impressive! I picked mine up on launch date and the servo was bad after a week.. I’d have to check I think my rigs is around that weight but that is after the servo failed! I’m running the reefs 55 in it now after finding out the reefs 99 isn’t that waterproof
@usssoupership13 күн бұрын
@joellofquist2537 i got mine on launch also. I ended up with 4 of them. They all have new servos at this point. I'm most impressed with the eco servo. And it's waterproof. I have a reefs 99 but it's the winch version and not installed on anything yet. I didn't know it's not waterproof. Thanks for that bit of knowledge.
@joellofquist253713 күн бұрын
@ the reefs 55 is waterproof but a bit less powerfull than the reefs 99.. my reefs 99 did work again after it dried out but I still replaced it I also ended up with 4 rigs myself had to have the hightrail and the standard ones.. I also took one and lowered it all the way down removing the shocks entirely and using the trailer tires as the truck tires making it a slammed pickup truck just for fun

@joellofquist2537 wow! The lowered truck sounds cool. That's a nice idea. I did a drop chassis and a lifted body on my green defender. I love modding my stuff. Fun and rewarding most of the time.
