Traxxas High Torque 400

[greenbronco31]

Hello
Has anyone had any issues with the High Torque 400 steering servo? It definitely is more snappy and has more torque but I’m getting a lot of loose play at the servo horn (which is metal and screwed down tight). The play is definitely coming from the servo itself.
Many thanks

Haven't used one, but sounds like a bad or loose gear inside. You can pull the top off the servo and check/replace gears.

I havent used one before but it doesn't surprise me coming from Traxxas.

Side note, Anyone find it odd that Traxxas lists the 400oz/in@6V as the torque even though the servo goes to 7.4V?

Technically at max voltage (7.4v) it should be 400oz. But wouldn't surprise me because, 1, Its Traxxas. 2, previously with RTR receivers and servos they electronics don't like anything above 6v from the BEC.

Not to mention half of the time Traxxas lies about their specs.
