What would be the best Futaba stearing servo tandem to install into either a Pro1 or WCM?

Last year I finally made the last 1/4 scale race of the year with a new car and had a pair of JR Hi torque with metal gears installed up front, they were recommended Highly. They made one qualifer and were done and NO wrecks. Tops of both cases were shreaded and no harm had come to the servo savers.
I had a old pair of S3305's installed them ran with out any problems. Just wanted to know if there were any better servos (Futaba) that is, no more mistakes.

mike i run airtronics high torque 94359z/erg-vx 200oz.of torque servos two for steering they have aluminum gears double ball bearings with aluminum heat sinks.thats all i use in these 1/4 scales i have had the same onesin my car now for about 3 or 4 years never touched them use heavy duty servo savers.i have another lightning i bought from my buddy that raced and its got the same servos in this car and they are about5 years old.i use these in all my 1/8 scale nitro buggys and 1/10 scale nitro stadium trucks for steering i have used hitecs and ive had some good luck but mostly bad luck with these but going to airtronics i have never had any problems just make sure you set your end points on your radios so the servo doesnt want to keep pushing servo arm past the point your wheels stop turning left and right.there is a few nice JR, SERVOS out with 300 oz.of torque and have a red heat sink # DS8711 and they are guaranteed to.i have not used any futaba ones but im sure they have some nice ones to .but im never switching from airtronics . good luck.harry

I have used futaba s9153 Digital High torque, High speed. in my WCM for steering for three years now... No Problems yet

S3305 have worked well for me on both of my Pro1 & WCM cars....reasonable price also.

I'm using 9351's

Mike Clark. Futaba servo's all the way. and it is wise to invest in a very stout 1/4 scale servo for throttle/Brakes. Haven't had any problems with mine.

Tower Hobbies has good price on the servo's.

running JR125MG HI-TORQUE did not have any trouble all year !!!!!!!!

I ran s3305's all last year with no problems.

The economy must be good up in north Ala with the money you guys spend on your cars. Will says he spent nearly $10,000 dollars last season on 1/4 scale and you spending $300 on three servos...WOW must be nice to have all that dough!!

I'll stick with my ole reliable 3305's at the cheap price:wave:

I'll stick with my ole reliable 3305's at the cheap price:wave:the servos i mentioned are about 30 bucks spent over 10,000 last year if you want to run up front you pay the bill in any form of racing my 1/4 scale bill for this year is 2,600 allready and we have not started yet

Yikes!!:eek: What in the world have you spent $2600 already?! the servos i mentioned are about 30 bucks spent over 10,000 last year if you want to run up front you pay the bill in any form of racing my 1/4 scale bill for this year is 2,600 allready and we have not started yet

Yikes!!:eek: What in the world have you spent $2600 already?!lets see refurbising the old car,new cage car,complete radio system for new car,car and truck body,600 bucks to J&M hobbies for parts actually its probly more than 2600 and that deos not include 4 sets of tires that i am gona order:wave:

I'll stick with my ole reliable 3305's at the cheap price:wave:i ran wills car with 3305 the car has a lazy feel some people can drive that i have ran the best electronics for years and futaba all the way for me but i did use some jr servos that where cheap and ok but they lacked alot tight racecar can be drove with cheap servos loose race car the servos better keep up or you will be in the infield. we just like to be broke and go fast!!!!! i can show the difference if you want to drive my car sometie time slow weak servos kill any car getting offf turn 2 at lpr and that is a fact!!!!!

Several of us have slowed the servo speeds down...just the opposite.

Several of us have slowed the servo speeds down...just the opposite.well that is not what you want to do something is wrong if you slow the servos down. its like this it may fix drving issues but a fast car will turn into the corner hard but you need servos that can hold those wheels steady in the apex of the corner i could go on and on and also you can change the deadband in the servo. servo speed should only be changed on throttle servo. if you would like more info on this i can tell you why and the effects of it.. not trying to say i know it all but i do know setup and electronics... and you know this :woohoo:

Thanks but I'll stick with the servo setup I have now..well that is not what you want to do something is wrong if you slow the servos down. its like this it may fix drving issues but a fast car will turn into the corner hard but you need servos that can hold those wheels steady in the apex of the corner i could go on and on and also you can change the deadband in the servo. servo speed should only be changed on throttle servo. if you would like more info on this i can tell you why and the effects of it.. not trying to say i know it all but i do know setup and electronics... and you know this :woohoo:

And you guys tell me 1/4 is cheaper than 1/10th??

I did not spend 10k all year if you include all the BRP and my trailer.

I doubt I will spend $2600 the whole year!

BUT, I do agree. You gotta PAY to PLAY.

Go get 'em Will!

i wasnt planning on it but i do want to run truck the easy way to do it is another complete setup i dont want 2 have to change everything on 1 car but tires is never ending the day i see the cup teams running tires for 6 races that will be the day i quit buying so many i just dont get the tire wear everbody else gets my car chews them up but its also the one that upfront every race gee i wonder why????????????

LOL, I made that comment the other day. I was told tires "last for a year", I said you are not pushing thst car hard enough.

If you go fast things are going to wear.

No such thing as "FREE SPEED".

Go get 'em Will!i spent 2000dollars all last season and bought two sets of tires all year the gas bill was a different story 6600 miles at 15mpg with gas at 2.50 3.30 a gallon!!! i didn't pay the tire bill i chased the car all year it would have been easier to buy tires and go fast.

Go get 'em Will!it is cheaper but its buy in and how competive you wana be do you want to be in the front or back do you want to throw money at it or nickle & dime
it granted some people can throw cash at it and not be any better and some can get buy on a small budget i have been around 1/4 for a year those 4 round black things make all the diffrence just like any other racing

Thanks but I'll stick with the servo setup I have now..whatever works for you. i don't see how people drive when you turn the wheel and then the car finally turns different strokes for different folks if you would leave the speed alone it will make you a better drive all the speed slowed down is a bandaid to take the do da out but it kills a car getting in the corner and keeping up with a loose car impossible :cool:

it is cheaper but its buy in and how competive you wana be do you want to be in the front or back do you want to throw money at it or nickle & dime
it granted some people can throw cash at it and not be any better and some can get buy on a small budget i have been around 1/4 for a year those 4 round black things make all the diffrence just like any other racingi can chase or beat you with less but that is the way it has always been but atleast now you don't ask for a motor or battery!!!!!

here is a fact if you turn 5.9 to 6.0 ever time you are on the track at LPR those tires will last 3 to 4 weekends one weekend i got almost 1/8th of an inch tire wear!!!!!!!

That was when that Pro1 was pushing you around the track sideways. :lol: LOLhere is a fact if you turn 5.9 to 6.0 ever time you are on the track at LPR those tires will last 3 to 4 weekends one weekend i got almost 1/8th of an inch tire wear!!!!!!!1

here is a fact if you turn 5.9 to 6.0 ever time you are on the track at LPR those tires will last 3 to 4 weekends one weekend i got almost 1/8th of an inch tire wear!!!!!!!learn how to drive you lean on the car to hard you will learn one day!!!! do you need a box of kleenex!!!!!!

That was when that Pro1 was pushing you around the track sideways. :lol: LOL he didn't say he gained a 1/8 of rubber by drifting into the preferred pro1 line 2 feet above the marbles!!!!:woohoo:

That those other Pro1's not mine LOL

he didn't say he gained a 1/8 of rubber by drifting into the preferred pro1 line 2 feet above the marbles!!!!:woohoo:

Bob will be pushing you guys this time .That those other Pro1's not mine LOL
