      Hey buddy , massive thank you for Subbing and yeah servos are so overlooked on trucks like this . the truck was awesome before and today i ran it out in the street and it feels way more nimble .
      I love this truck and cant wait to do more content with it .
      Stay safe buddy

    Yes the servo upgrade is probably the best & easyist upgrade to make on most rtr vehicles, makes such a difference to the driving experience.

      Yes buddy I agree , makes me wonder with these manufacturers mind I mean for the sake of a little bit more money .
      As I said it's not that the servo provided was terrible but just lazy in comparison to what I now have in there .
      But definitely when you buy a RTR it should be the first thing you change and it completely changes the feel of the vehicle .
      Thanks for watching really appreciate it

    Steering servo's make huge difference, great work on the awesome dr8 dude 👍👍😀😀

      Totally agree with you buddy , they get so over looked when using a RC , its what give us a direct feel to whats going on with out RCs . And yeah the Dr8 is a seriously unrated car its a total weapon on the rough stuff .

    Decent video, just burned my atom 6s servo out so bought a 40 kg servo & ready to fit it, hope it isn't too strong. Very helpful vid cheers mate 👍🏻

    • @ChriswithaCrc
      @ChriswithaCrc  Рік тому

      Hey buddy ,
      Once again thank you for watching , yeah it does seem that this truck suffers from a weak servo indeed .
      40kg would be awesome , what servo did you pick up may i ask ????.
      i would recommend tightening up the servo saver a touch with that also as the amount of torque that servo is going to have you dont want the servo saver stopping its full turning potential .
      Stay safe

    Dude. Nicely explained. The servo is next on mine, may go for a cheap amazon thing.
    Could you do a diff oil change, do I have a vid to follow. I'm cheeky. Ha

      Hey buddy , massive thank you for watching the video . Servo is a awesome upgrade for the DR8 , I took it out for a quick run up and down the street today just to check it was all OK and its literally transformed the cars responsiveness .
      And yes of course i can do a diff fluid change on camera its literally turned up today so planning on recording this on the weekend hopefully .
      So keep the eyes peeled for the next DR8 video
      remember if you like the videos to Subscribe and like that would be awesome .

    Awesome show here bud💯 did you find you have less steering to one side 🧐
    Seeing you did you servo test it seems to have even throw amount both sides
    Makes this truly an awesome buy ✅🥳

      @ChriswithaCrc  Рік тому +1

      Hey buddy , thanks so much for watching means a lot and the kind comment .
      Yeah i did notice that the truck had less movement to the one side . there is a trick you can do to help that it turns out that the servo saver and the turnbuckle are the issue i can link you a video to show you how to solve that if you like .
      there a amazing truck and i was truly shocked at the price to performance it offers .
      So thank you so much for commenting here is the link also to my video . i show you at the end of it .
