    My lazy a$$ still hasn't gotten around to buying a high torque metal gear servo to test..... Poor boat is just sitting on it's stand collecting dust.

      Are you having the same problem? I changed out the servo just havent had the time to get it into the water to test it out yet.

        Ok guys an update on the steering problem. I went to the lake today after work and ran the boat and everything seems to be working much better with the new servo that i installed. Now my only problem is I have to change the cooling lines because one broke while driving the boat and flooded the hull. I got it back to shore under power before it got deadly but it was close.

          Good to hear nothing got water fried!!! And good to hear the stronger servo is working. One more thing, do you have a lot of expo in your steering setup in radio? Sometimes that makes a boat feel really sluggish if its way up? Just a thought. I don't use much in a boat (unless saw stuff) but friend does and I thought his boat didn't turn, then he said just turn it more, I didn't like that but to each their own.

              I didn't have any expo in it that was one of the things I checked before I took the servo out. I thought like you maybe there was but they were all set to zero. h8onit I went to the lake at Academy Sports. I am going to try and go to the one off Ricker road on Friday after I get off work. I get off at 3 so I should be there around 330-345.
