  • Important in any crawler - is the quality of the servo. Traxxas is not known for having great electronics, so as soon as I picked up the TRX4M, I knew I would be looking to replace some of the electronics.
    After doing some research, I decided this AGFRC servo (amzn.to/3Fl17W8) was a solid option.
    Fully metal geared, sized right for the application, stronger KG rating than the stock servo...AND 30% cheaper!
    In this video, I show you how to install the servo and test it versus the stock servo to really compare the performance.

    My son's locked up the 2nd day. I put in a ecopower servo that I had in my full size trx4. Just had to trim the inside a bit. A lot faster and stronger.

      @Austin Townsend how did you get the eco power you purchased to work. I put the same one in mine and it would only sharply turn left. Is there a way you have to program/ sync it to work

    did it mess with the suspension at all? i noticed the stock servo BARELy misses the shock towers when one side of the suspension is full flex

    so i was wondering after you connect the servo how do i bind a different controller that originally came with it if you know i would greatly appreciate it

    • @RoadsideRC
      @RoadsideRC  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The servo has no interaction with the controller binding. You don't need to change anything with the controller due to the servo.

    Great Upgrade! Could you please indicate the full Name and type of the servo? The Amazon link is showing unfortunately another one which looks definitely different. Thx in advance.

      The link is working for me - but let's try this again: amzn.to/3FIyctT
      There are 4 servo options on that page. The link should land you at the B13DLM v2

    How is it holding up so far. Killed my stock servo within 15 days.
    Bought a cheap metal gear servo, works fine but when It is up against something it does not go, I’m assuming not enough power / torque.
    I wanted to go with this or the a20cls.

    Hello i had watch all of your videos order to make low budget rc drift car i had pick the 3RACING Sakura D5 S MR KIT and all the electronics and receiver i already got those in but there is a problem i need a perfect rc body shell i already pick one i really like but the only problem is that is the wheelbase is a little bit longer like 260mm long can you make a video about body shell apparently i don't know if mine would fit in 3RACING Sakura D5 S MR KIT wheelbase 257mm here is more information
    3RACING Sakura D5 S MR KIT
    width 200mm
    Wheelbase 257mm
    Body shell: 1970 dodge charger
    width 200mm
    Wheelbase 260mm
    I have other body shell i also really like and it is shorter on the wheelbase
    Body shell: 1970 dodge challenger
    width 200mm
    Wheelbase 258mm
    Please make a video on body shell i'm still thinking about getting other body shell to fit my 3RACING Sakura D5 S MR KIT

      Hello
      You are on the right path.
      Both bodies will work, but the 260mm body will look a little odd.
      The 258 body will be great! Go with that one!
