I don't know what servo would work as a direct replacement. I'm planning on extracting the original equipment and upgrading it to a 2.4ghz setup.

Re: Jerobee Commando Radio and Servos Junk or Fix?

I've tried searching for original Jerobee crystal sets for years, sadly without success. The circuit boards have Jerobee printed on them if that helps. The one crystal I have is stamped NKD 26.640 MHZ. The Traxxis orange set I bought has a TX 27.095 and RX 26.640, but it didn't solve the problem.

My Dad and I ran it a few times back in the 70s! IIRC something in the radio quit or a crystal got lost, or something. It sat in a closet until a few years ago when I tried to get it working again.

Jerobee Commando Radio and Servos Junk or Fix?

Hey all. First post for an RC newbie here, so be prepared for goofy questions! This Jerobee Commando McLaren has been in my family since the '70s. I want to get it going again and keep it. There was only one crystal stamped NKD 26.640mhz, so I bought a Traxxas #3 orange 27.095 set #2033. I hooked it...
