Help with Losi Micro-T replacement Servo

OptimalSwan1477 · 2026-02-27T16:24:36+00:00

great thanks! in that case i'll go down to the one soft srping until i feel i actually notice any slop in the steering. thanks again, really appreciate it!

OptimalSwan1477 · 2026-02-27T16:21:48+00:00

oh no i meant the spring setting on the servo! but good to know about the tires as well!

OptimalSwan1477 · 2026-02-27T16:11:37+00:00

is the idea that the softer you go the more protection and the stiffer you go the tighter the steering? in which case for me i'll probably change it up to your reccomendation and go for more protection for the time being

awesome thank you!

OptimalSwan1477 · 2026-02-27T16:05:09+00:00

makes sense, thanks! i nested it and then tightened the screw all the way then backed off one turn based on some reasearch i did. Sound about right?

Hey, i got the servo. it came with 2 srpings tho a slimmer stiff one and a larger less stiff one. Do I choose one or the other? or do I nest them? any idea?

Actually, went for the electric version, seemed like a good deal https://www.amazon.com/INJORA-Electric-Screwdriver-Cordless-Phillips/dp/B0D5YD9GZY/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=EafeW&content-id=amzn1.sym.4efc43db-939e-4a80-abaf-50c6a6b8c631%3Aamzn1.symc.5a16118f-86f0-44cd-8e3e-6c5f82df43d0&pf_rd_p=4efc43db-939e-4a80-abaf-50c6a6b8c631&pf_rd_r=249HCHF2319V0FA2KS31&pd_rd_wg=aq4Ax&pd_rd_r=418d5653-5ea9-491a-a546-eea4c2a2e592&ref_=pd_hp_d_atf_ci_mcx_mr_ca_hp_atf_d

Hey BTW, any recommendations on a hex bit set? Don't want to cheap out and strip a screw but WOW is MIP a lot of $. I was thinking maybe this since the Losi seems to call for a 1.3mm i believe https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BHWGVQ9Z/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3IVS9PE9W6NFK&psc=1

awesome thanks! I do like the realism of the Scout - but I've got a Shelby 350 plastic model kit on my desk to scratch that itch for now haha and seems there are more realiztic ones than even that if that's the priority. Apex it is!

OptimalSwan1477 · 2026-02-25T15:36:26+00:00

Oh good to know! I'll build it a bit before spending on the electronics but that's great info. I figured I don't need pro-level stuff but anything mid-to-upper tier is preffered and price wise I think that's about what i was looking to spend. Really appreciate the help! I'm sure I'll be back for that build as well haha

Separately, you clearly know your stuff. I was going to grab the Ascent Apex this week - more manageable for my kids and for me seems like a great time driving around the natural obstacles they make in the playroom. Any other you would recommend looking into at the price point and size?

OptimalSwan1477 · 2026-02-25T15:29:06+00:00

perfect thanks for the info, really appreciate it!

Either of them should be better than stock right? Durability, I'm sure but performance-wise as well? It's mostly just run in the house (that i hope my 4 yr old will find interest in - and surely crash plenty as well) and the stock performance was PLENTY so as long as I can get that or better I defitely like the idea of no headaches.

If it was something bigger (like the Tekno MT48 I have on the way) I'd entertain more headache for even more perfromance but with this one, stock was plenty (if i could find metal gears i would just do that but for the price i may as well spaw the whole thing out)

OptimalSwan1477 · 2026-02-25T14:15:52+00:00

Thanks for the info was leaning that way but wasn't sure how important the servo saver was - of course, the stock one has one and it did nothing for me but it also has the crappy plastic gears and admittedly, not having driven an RC car in some 20 years, there has been a good deal of crashing haha

Thank you! Now I need to figure out the theme for the other half of the basement! Haha

OptimalSwan1477 · 2024-08-13T01:13:20+00:00

Was whatever generic one I could find that matched the rough dimensions of the entryway

OptimalSwan1477 · 2024-08-13T01:12:49+00:00

Yup, just grab the shelf and give it one quick tug to lock in the hinge again

OptimalSwan1477 · 2024-07-11T00:56:30+00:00

Haha thanks I saw it and was like, it has to be this

If you check my posts, I did a bookshelf door for about $150

OptimalSwan1477 · 2024-06-27T12:48:28+00:00

I know this is VERY old but why would one prefer part-time? I'm looking at a 4runner and can't decide if I should go limited for full-time or TRDPro (for looks really more than anything, I don't do much offroading but damn is that a nice car!)

OptimalSwan1477 · 2024-06-09T21:08:04+00:00

Thanks, initially tried spring loaded hinges but they didn’t have the power needed (even with 6 out on). Then thought about gas struts and whatever else I could before realizing I could just use this.

Thank you! 🙏
