Throttle/Brake Upgrade

[Offduty79]

I am looking to upgrade my throttle and brake to get better performance, I want to replace everything except my servo, currently using a Hitec 5645. Looking for suggestions and see what others have done!

I removed the stock steering servo after day 1 and swapped it for the throttle servo for improved throttle and braking action on my T Maxx and my Revo also...For the replacement steering servos I went with the Hitech HS7955TG ultra high torque titanium gear servos rated 250 ozs at 4.8v and 333oz at 6.0 volts with the quickest reaction I've ever seen..In my other trucks I use the DX226 digital metalgear servos

I did a bit of a hybrid of the Ofna and the one posted by Olds...it works pretty good I am using heli linkages for the ends of the rods and the give silky smooth movement. I am going to get the aluminum bell crank to go with the rest of the truck...should make it ever smoother.

Works really nice and lasts a long time without any slop. Ran it on my old savage that I don't have anymore... should pick one up again.
