Hello, I have a FMS 1/10 Big FJ 40 and I can’t hear the diesel sound
module that I installed because the
noise that is coming from that factory servo Is so loud!!!
How can I quiet that servo down, really don’t want to replace it because it’s loud whenever you steer left or right with the controller’s wheel is turned.
1) What is the fix to quiet down this servo without using heavier grease which would slow the servo’s movement and also cause undue strain on the steering components.
 
It should be quiet from the videos I've seen. You'll need to understand why it's making noise. It could be picking up noise from other wires, mechanical issues (loose, binding,etc), or it could be defective.

Does this have two servos? If so which one is making noise?

When is it making noise - When you turn, it's just sitting, what does the noise sound like?
Do you have video?
Have you asked FMS about it?

No matter which one or the cause I would make sure they are all connected properly, connectors are seated and the wires are not damaged.
 
I hope you guys write to FMS and they fix there front axle loose cv pins & send improved axles axles to us!!
Again, the email address they actually monitor and use is:

elow is a pic of a FJ40 I ordered! That’s how it looked when I opened the lid on the white strofoam lid!!!
 
When it moves the noise is a little louder than normal, that’s all! I’m probably just nitpicking, thanks!!!
