Hello, I've got myself a hong nor truggy with (SH 28 ENGINE) and have successfully completed the break-in process and everything else. I've corrected the linkage for maximum braking without affecting it in its neutral position. I have also checked the fibre disks and its at its best position without compromise. However I still get weak braking. I can push my car about 3.5 feet with the brakes full on. I have a futaba s3003 servo for my throttle and my brakes. It has 3.2kg/cm torque (44oz). I don't know wether this servo is powerful enough or not. If not, please let me know and recommend me a decent one. Thanks.
 
44oz seems a bit weak if you ask me ...good chances thats your problem if everything else is good ....i would use one with at least 80oz or more

Yeah I'm leaning tward a stronger servo!+1 Macguyver:whhooo:
 
Thank you all for your replies. I have ordered a savox sevo with 150oz. But the sizes are a bit different from mine. The height is 3mm more. But lenght and width are same. Just wondering if it will fit, and how to do it as its my first time. Thanks.
 
take the old one out, keep it. Intall the new one just like the old one, allow the servo to centre by turning on the car and the recevier. test to see if the servo works. now put your servo horn on.

Like changing a light bulb once you understand the process.

3mm taller shouldn't make a big difference. I'd say go ahead and use it.
