Kagama Horatio's/Chris With A C's Kagama LE -

[Partydaz]

Full convert to posh servos now got 2x A73BHLW V2 from Scorched Parts cracking service so far.

Stuck one in my kkpit beetle and at first it did not seem any quicker than the cheap brushless one that was in it before but dear lord you can tell when the beetle is ripping about the steering is so responsive and way faster now, well worth the cash to me .

​

These 6s Kagamas are tanks you will enjoy launching it .

Only things I keep an eye on are the rear lower hinge pins like to bend after hard crashes never effected how it drives just wears the little plastic inserts out quicker and the rear input pinion bearings like to wear making play and buggering up the mesh on the rear diff .

The thing is, if people are running high response radios, receivers etc - decent servos aren't really optional

I think this is the reason I feel no need to buy higher quality products, nothing is missing in my mind.. I know if I ever turned a wheel against anything “competitively” I’d “get it”. It’s bittersweet I suppose, a part of me wants to race to see where I stack up but I know I can’t afford to go down the rabbit hole. Home Alone it is, LOL.

Your track is cool as hell! With trunks of doom! You'd be much better at racing than you think, but your pace would build over several months while you get into it.

Then - tyres, geometry, electronics, weight savings, other upgrades etc all start finding you cumulative micro gains - provided the driving is consistent.

Response from your radio, your inputs, also start making a difference to a much more direct feeling rig, which on a race track generally becomes more desirable as your pace improves.

Out in the open though, or where you're running on your own - these things matter less and likely aren't worth the coin. Totally understandable.

Even for a basher, precision can be important. As my skills have improved I seek out jumps that have little room for error. I also like making transfers or gaps with consequences.

I modified the hinge pin holders and lower control arms to fit Tekno 4mm hinge pins. Everything is much more durable now. The 3mm hinge pins have no business being on a 1/8 monster truck with wide LCA’s.

I agree that 3mm isn't enough for 1/8 scale, that's Traxxas level inefficiency LOL. But, Corally 6s rigs already come equipped with 4mm hinge pins as standard equipment? Maybe the Tekno pins are a better quality?
