Savox 1210sg help

[stuartd]

@Saltystevo
I'm looking at getting a new servo for my Notorious as the stock one has failed. As the Savox 1210SG is so highl;y rated around here I was considering that but from reading this thread ot sounds like it's sounding like it's not a simple drop in replacement ?

OK so it is and it isn't.
You can just drop it in and use any kind of spacer to raise it up as it's taller then stock servo. Nothing else needed.
I couldn't figure out how to slide the savox into stock mount so I just drilled it out a tiny bit.

I'd be planning on using the stock mount as well. What did you need to drill out ?

With a savox 1210sg do I try to adjust the servo arm linkage with a spacer?
Or do I get a whole new horn and arm like this one from HR?

Seems to me the factory horn is built rather well. Basically any advice that pertains to steering linkage when using a savox would be great. Looking to complete the necessary or advised steering mods while I'm already working on that area.
Thanks guys!

What is the need for this?? Waste imo.

Metel servo horn. Not even really adjustable.

It appears there are some holes for adjustment in the HR servo horn. I think the benefit would come from the quality of materials used

Glue on screws?? No glue.

I always use black rtv on screws that go into plastics and super glue instead of loctite on metal to metal. Been doing that since the '90's and has always worked for me.

Do you rtv all screws on bottom of frame?
Or is everyone checking every single screw every battery?
Or are they good just snuggled up?
Just trying not to lose any before I get a spare screw kit from Jenny's rc

Sorry Salty, I am just now seeing this. When I buy one, I always go through them and do an initial check for proper tightening. Every time I remove one, I will get RTV on plastic contact and super glue gel on metal to metal contact. I prefer the Loc-Tite gel

I just bought that same exact servo and put it in and am having the same exact problem in my Kraton 6s so it’s probably a all round $hitty servo
