Made the throttle servo swap on the PulseXT 60 with its RCGF-USA 20cc It's a powerful 20 kg torque servo, but it was less than $18 from Amazon. I put a ferro ring on the lead and it has a plastic servo arm, so it should be well isolated. The FUTABA servo was an old piece of crap and had a bad wire. I hope this solves the mid-range twitchies.
I mentioned in the last post that I fried my electric starter. It should be more than capable of handling the compression of the 30cc gas engine, but these RCGF-USA engines are known for their hight compression. With the issues I was having trying to start the MX-Bach, I melted the plastic around the contact bushings. I also found the old parallel cable I had made was coming apart so I rebuilt one. I used the bar from a couple of Traxxas connectors and soldered the leads to them, used shrink tube to cover it. Works great with my new Hangar 9 starter!
I also changed out the wonky Hitec HS-435HB servo on the Stik's tight aileron. Rock solid. With that and isolating the ignition noise. Looking forward to getting her up in the air!
