Trail hunter, am I doing this wrong?

[Martin trj]

So I started upgrading this rig, I do like it, no torque twist and it’s a very capable little guy. The problem though, is that I got the rcawd portal axles, they came with these brass wheel hex hubs that are the only thing that fits the axles…no wheel fits them due to the shape, not even the very same rcawd wheels (cyberweelz)! What the heck am I supposed to use that will fit these hubs? Please help.

Get some hexes from amazon

 

[Martin trj]

That’s exactly my point, nothing fits because this is thicker.
I’m gonna try rcawd hexes but I’m not even sure those will fit.

 

[PonkyKong]

Extended hex kit with longer stub axles if it exists. Might not.

And you can use the longer stubs

Well, these traxxas wheels and Mickey Thompson tires from my k10 fit well and also the stock canyon trails that come with the trx4m defender. Not exactly what I had in mind tho, I guess I can forget about using 1.3 tires on the trail hunter.

I had to find new hex's too. Look for the ones that are sized for the TRX4M. I tried a few different wheels and tires. I couldn't get 1.3's to fit without rubbing, even after some drastic trimming.
You can see everything I did here.

The original body was extremely trimmed, I want the stock body so I’m ok with 1.0 tires.
Here is the modified vs the stock. I’m waiting for a stock bumper and got me a light bar but haven’t had the motivation to drill the stock body lol. P
I do really like it, no torque twist .

I found a set of wheels that fit this rig. 1.0 injora wheels.

Does this mean I need a new servo or that I have to adjust the voltage?

 

[PonkyKong]

No. Its just a setting for the BEC output.
Servos run in the 6.0 to 7.4 volt range for standard and more for high power. Most can handle 6.5 but stsrt with 6.0 unless its a 7.4 servo. Just for heat.

 

[Martin trj]

Got it! So lower the VOS to 6V.

 

[PonkyKong]

Got it! So lower the VOS to 6V.

Yes. Unless the servo says 7.4 or higher

 

[Martin trj]

I will check, thanks much.

It’s this one https://a.co/d/4zqZ75z and this in the info on the voltage:

• Upgrade version: programmable, 8.4V high voltage application
• Stall Torque: 3.8 kg-cm (52.77 oz-in) @ 6.0V; 4.5 kg-cm (63 oz-in) @ 8.4V
• Operating Speed: 0.13sec/60° @ 6.0V.

So, does that mean it is an 8.4 volt servo, donI up the voltage to 8.4v?
I have a reef I can swap this one to if that one would be better.

Should be able to run 8.4. Most electronics in general can be over driven 20% before failure. Only real crappy stuff fails from 8.4 volts
