Hi there,
Last year we gave our son a ECX amp buggy for his birthday, he's only 7, so he runs it pretty hard. Just recently, the steering stopped working. I've searched the forum and I see posts that are similar, but I'm trying to connect all of the dots and could use some help. From what I've read, I think I need a few things to get his buggy working again:
1.) a new steering servo, was thinking this is a good option: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-HD-1...ard-Servo-SAVOX-JR-HITECH-FUTABA/323860001704
--- possibly adding this as well in order to remove the wobble in reverse: https://www.ebay.com/itm/RPM-R-C-Pr...iminator-Bellcrank-Black-ECX-2wd/263869417073
2.) a new ESC, I think this might work, but I'm not sure: https://www.amazon.com/Hobbywing-HWI30120201-Quicrun-1060-Brushed/dp/B01LZHBJ85
3.) possibly this too: https://www.horizonhobby.com/TACL0325
My first question is, are these all of the right parts? My second question is, how do I install all of them? I didn't take the buggy apart completely, but the steering servo swap looks pretty straightforward. Replacing the ESC looks a little more difficult, is the unit glued the the main chassis?
My apologies in advance for starting a new thread and asking basic questions. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim
