New to RC stuck on build

[fogo2710]

Hi guys I’m new to RC and stuck on what parts I need for my Crawler (hobao DC1)
I’m looking to get a brushless kit but I’m not sure what servos I need to run it
The motor comes with a small one for the gears but I’m clueless on the steering

I would go with a Hobbywing Axe system instead of that one. Do you have a set of calipers? If so, measure your servos. Then you can shop for ones to fit. For the shift servo (probably a mini servo), you dont need anything with really crazy torque. But on the steering side (probably a standard sized servo), I'd go with a servo with at least 250 oz-in torque. The more the better.

Thanks a mill lad I’ve ordered a set and when they arrived were too small
Trying to get it bang on now before I order again don’t fancy getting stung twice

how is a mini servo gonna work. i looked it says 1/10 scale. and 252 oz torque, id get something 300+ oz torque in 1/10.metel gear.

I said the shift servo is likely a mini sized servo. But thanks for making me type it again. My fingers need the exercise.

So the 9kg would be hitting just under 320 would be safe enough bet then ?

320 Oz*

9kg-cm torque converts to roughly 125 oz-in torque, so that would be a pretty weak servo. You can get 35kg servos on Amazon that aren't bad.

Ah Ffff ok thanks
