Default Changing servo on Team Durango dest210 rtr

Heya- dest 210 comes with this http://arrma-rc.de/part/AR390133 , I was thinking to upgrade it to http://www.arrma-rc.com/part/AR390136 but problem is that the metal gear is slightly bigger than the original so it doesn't fit in http://www.team-durango.com/part-inf...artNo=TD320162 .. Can anyone give an idea how I can use this new servo or do I just have to use the old one?

Thanks in advance

The metal gear?

You mean the spline.
Nope, both the same size (25 tooth, it even says so on the web page) you may need to give the servo horn a bit of a wiggle as they are a very snug fit.

Yes the tooth count is same but metal gear is tiny bit bigger.. no amount of wiggle helps, trust me..

Just wondering if there is way to install new servo without the servo saver

It's either faulty (or the old servo is) or you aren't pushing hard enough.

You got another 25t servo around to try (other than the one you took out)?

You could just get a normal servo horn with no saver, but i'm pretty sure you'll toast your servo fairly quickly. And it'll probably be exactly the same size as your current horn.

And FWIW, i chop and change servo horns and servos all the time, no issues. Except for one which had 26t. Everything else has 25t

Sweet- I made it fit I took your advice and pushed harder, got it half way in and then used the screw to make it go all the way haha..

Thanks for advice!

Another quick question before I try installing it on the car - should I have centered the servo somehow in relation to how servo saver connection to car is? Or can I adjust that later?

Always fit the servo horn with the servo powered up and trims at 0 on your transmitter.

You can do this once its in the truck if your hex driver is long enough to reach through the shock tower.

Also best to use an alloy servo horn if you can as the plastic ones can be prone to stripping out if you hit something. Alloy servo horns for the TLR 22 series work well although the ballstud can be a tight fit first time you screw it in.

Hmm next problem..

I wasn't clear before because I didn't think it would be necessary..

I was looking to change servo because suddenly steering was impossible- truck would go right and then stay there..I thought problem was with servo but now with new servo the problem stays.. so I guess transmitter is the problem?

What would be options to fix that?

Could be transmitter but they are usually pretty reliable.

First thing to check is make sure the servo horn splines are not stripped out or worn. This is a common cause of steering issues as they plastic wears out and can lead to the servo not driving the horn properly. Usually indicated by steering not recentering.

Also check the hubs aren't going over cam and locking out. I have had that on my DEX210 before now.

Currently problem is that steering doesn't work at all even with servo horn unattached- as in just servo is connected ..after turning on transmitter and then truck the spline clearly centers but when I try to turn right/left it just makes a sound but doesn't move ( just a little bit)..servo horn teeth also seem a bit worn out and me jamming the new metal spline in there surely didn't help but it's not even connected now
