I will be installing Airtronics 94358Z in both the Steering & Throttle/brake.

Hb1111.. It will be powered by a .21 Novarossi Rex P5 that is on it's way from Cali... The shocks are basically the same as my Hyper 7 pro shocks, maybe a little beefier..
 
I think it's over kill on the throttle servo.
You might consider one of the Airtronic competition servos, Like 94737.
Still a fast servo, but about $40 cheaper.
 
...or maybe the airtronics 94360. .07tt and 125ozT. still overkill but wont pull the slide out of the carb!
 
Looking very Nice TJ, I'm just waiting on the chassis to come back from the nickle plater, and then I'll have my X5, and the the modding can begin.

Dang ImBroken,

The 94358Z does 200oz at 0.10, dude that's hella of power and speed. That servo can turn my real car!!! I have seen alot of pro's use the HS-945MG for throttle and steering. Hey more power to you, but I think anything close to 150oz and close to 0.12 is more than enough. If you got the cash/NO WIFE then do it!!

OK, I ordered the:

Airtronics 94758Z Competition Digital Hi-Spd/Torq Servo for Throttle/Brake
&
Airtronics 94358Z ERG-VB Hi-Speed/Hi-Torque 200 oz/in for Steering

Should be here early next week...


hehe, let the UPS guy races begin. my stuff is due in next week too. that throttle servo should be much better than the first choice. with as fast as it is, id imagine you could even play with abs if you wanted to. i know ill try it, to see if you can push harder into the corner while braking/turning.
 
I think our face-off will be at the Va. bash... lol I'm hoping to complete the build by mid week, & have her broken in by the weekend... We'll see....
 
Got the engine, pipe & head in the mail today, thanks to Hirez over at RC Pit...



Rex P5, PRP 053 pipe, Mugen Seiki Cooling head

I really can't wait to finish & run this thing... I've went way over budget... lol
Until I see this buggy perform, I'm not going to be totally satisfied with my investment. It will look sweet though... lol I gotta start painting a lid that will do it justice...
 
Rex P5 is a sweet mill...that's what I run in my X5.

I run P5, stock head (temps still great!), O'Donnell 99 plugs, O'Donnell 30% fuel, and an RB 086 pipe.

Killer combo, although your pipe will give you a bit more bottom punch.. Should be great!
