Scr8p thanks for the reply...I have a magnum senior 3pg radio that is all original and was manufactured in 1984. This model came with two s131 and one s128 servos. It's funny Ruffy mentioned a s32h servo...where did he get that from?

Anybody have jay on a hotline so we can ask him? :D

hmm...... i figured they'd be to new. guess not.

i could call jay, but i really don't feel like bugging him just to ask what servo he used in his car 26 years ago. :wink:

Do you know where ruffy got his s32 servo info from? I know he used to race for associated and he usually has a lot of knowledge regarding this vintage stuff.....

i don't know where he got it. but if an s32 is a mini servo like a 132, it's not right. you can tell in any pic of jay's car that there's a standard size servo installed in it.

Yeah you are right the s32h is quite a bit smaller than than either the s131s or the 132 so that model was most likely not used....

My RC10 came with 2 S28's with G-plug connectors. I think I will just use one of those for now.... :roll:

Well, mother nature was not so good to me this past weekend! So much for the weather man's prediction of sun! :? Went out and bought a UVB bulb and am currently fake baking my parts! Hope this works. If not then I'll just pull them out and start reassembling....

Well, I felt really ambitious tonight and decided to start building. :roll: A couple of hours later and I have a nearly finished car! Still need a couple of tweeks (Rear camber) and some other items yet to buy but this is how she's looking. Think I may have found a NIP Novak NER-2S receiver locally! :D Keeping my fingers crossed. Still need to find some rear tires and a battery too. :roll:
Time for bed! :?
