hiya gang, some of you know me from other sites. ;)
i recently bought a halfeight for a beginner (38yo but new to rc). after following bithed's advice i got him a rtr with oil shocks (sato, really nice product), alloy front tower (gpm), bb's, xspeed motor. i told him to run it with the stock motor for as long as possible while he learns to control it.
he didn't listen! (i probably wouldn't have either!)
so now we gotta get him a servo. after reading the reviews here it seems the hitec 81mg is a good product but i'm stumped with the wiring stats.
i'm guessing the stock rx/esc also has the servo controls on it because of the 4 wire setup. i'm also guessing that i gotta remove the hitec's internal pcb and wire the old plug directly to the motor and pot. is all that correct?
and if so, do the pots from the 2 different servos match value wise?
any help will be great, as i don't have the car in front of me it's a little risky buying the wrong thing. i could always get another stock servo but it seemed a little slow to me (weak too!)
