More power to the servo?

[jabari]

Is there any way to hook up more power to the servo, like an extra battery or something? My servo is weak and I don't have money or supplies to put an HS-55 on it. This is for my evo truck.

If I remember right, the motors from the Superslicks Monster trucks drop right in.

Much more powerful then stock

Where can I get one of those? I'm short on cash.

Like I said man, I'm short on cash. I was thinking if here was a way to hook up a battery to it or someting.

i think you may be able to wire in a single AAA or double AAA holder. You would have to cut the power wires from the board to the servo and cut them in the midde and add the + to + and - to - then wrap them in heat shrink or electrical tape. if it were mine i would only use 1AAA opposed to 2. im not 100% sure it will work tho.

That made no sense...

Try googling up some info where you can grab SSMT motors, their cheap as dirt. Other then that, ghetto-up a 5-6 cell and that's about all you can really do.

lol, thats basically exactly what i meant,cut the wires and add another battery holder just as you would do it in a 5 or 6 cell.

Try a AAA battery holder or something, although it might completely fry the board.

What you said though was to cut the wire from the ep to the servo and add cells there. no no no, baaaaaaad idea.
