    Kevin, Ive been wanting to do a servo swap of some kind for a while. Now, thanks to this video, youve made it much easier. Im looking forward very much to your next video to see if there is an improvement over the 2085 servo. I cant find any specs. on the 2085X, just that its 23% stronger.

    i just changed my 2085 to 2085x servo because my 2085 died after having my xmaxx for 2 years, i had to use a washer because the spring pushed the screw head through the plastic, found a longer screw but it was to long had to dremel off a few centimeters, as for the nut on the end option, my rc parts box from my first hobby grade RC (2002), HPI rs4 electric had a nut that worked. man that was a pain, now my xmaxx is back in action just in time for the company cookout at a park.

    I put the 2085x servo in mine and I really like it my truck turn in tall grass so much better but i would not use the linkage that came with it . I broke 2 of them i ended up ordering a aluminum one from CrazyRacer on Amazon. I am still waiting on it to get here guess its coming from china. I put the stock one back in and it held up last time i ran the truck. I just thought i would give you the heads up. I really like these videos of you working on your XMaxx i do almost everything you show us so thanks.

    Whats the speed on these? Traxxas never show that, but all we know that its 450oz, should look into the savox 1230 which is 500oz, and .16sec which is faster than the 2085x i believe and cheaper than the traxxas

    • @flashfish6487
      @flashfish6487 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Caused by wheels not being straight when you turn the vehicle on when it is on a surface like carpet. Wheels try to straighten but there is to much resistance.

    • @jeanfoutre3620
      @jeanfoutre3620 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is exactly what happened to me too. I made it stay still for 3 min, and plastic gear of servo was smashed. I'm wondering if it goes into "micro" oscillations "left-right" if you leave it still, enough to strip one tooth of the gear, and from there on, it's a spiral of teeth knocking off one after the other...
