Bluebird Servo's w/Helical Gears, no low profile models.

Post by guitronics » Sat Apr 10, 2021 1:44 am

I just found out that Bluebird Servo has a line of "Helical Gear" models. The only problem is" they don't have any of those in a "low profile" configuration. Would there be enough room in an RC10 for a regular sized servo?

The linkage angles aren't as good but its doable.

Depending on the design of the servo and the servo horn, it may be possible to mount the linkage on the inside.

Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

I took a chance and picked up some of these Schumacher Atom ball studs.

As with most Schumacher ball studs, they have the correct 4.3mm ball size for a RC10. However, they have a very low profile.

They look like a good solution for the...

Tower and center link (since those are the two that normally hit).

Does anyone know if the low profile heat sink for the Havoc 1s and 2s will fit the Havoc speed controller included with the Havoc 10.5 Spec combination?

Thanks,

Ed

I had the low profile on 1/12th scale but couldn't get a good wiring run and the plug to the receiver sat so high that it had to be in the center of the car. Because of this and the beer can size capacitors I took the whole thing off and put it on...

Which Futaba metal gear servo would you recommend in my gold pan RC10 runabout? There's SS3305 high torque ball bearing metal gear, the S3002 mini metal gear servo, S9405 high torque coreless (whatever that means), and others. I know it's probably...

Update on this, my new Futaba S9405 servo arrived yesterday and I got it installed last night. I took the advice on the Kimbrough servo saver and got that as well.

I know this servo is worth about what a whole gold pan runner RC10 is, but wow, it...

I scored this one for a very good price thanks to Phin. Can't wait to rip it apart and clean it up, it's new but very dirty!

I've seen some dowright steals on Losis lately. Check this out, and no one bid!

Then, there's this strange hybrid with some good parts, would make for a great project, all for $20.50!

Then I snagged this LXT for next to nothing:

No love...

Wanted to bump this thread, seeing how Anthony snagged a white pre-production chassis for cheap. Seems things really haven't changed in 4 years-
He got his way cheaper than I got mine 8) but I kinda like that Losi's are Cheap I can afford more cars...

I've always got the problem of the idler gears worn off too fast. Currently, TH do not have stock for them. As such, I thought of making them into aluminium alloy.
Would you guys go with stainless steel, steel or alloy?
Also, how many of you guys...

The stealth diff gear and idler gear are plastic.

Heres how to make yourself some steel idlers for the six gear.

Finishing up a partially built 12L4 I snagged on ebay and I planned on putting in a Futaba S3002 metal gear servo. The problem is, the metal spline has really fine threads and a really short screw. The screw is long enough to mount a horn but not a...
