6 wire servo?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #681 of 696 |
I'm hacking a Radio Shack RC car for I'm hacking a Radio Shack RC car and can't figure out the servo.  It has six wires going to the steering box: brown, red, orange, yellow, green and blue.  Maybe these don't all go to the servo but I'm reluctant to take it apart to see as it's part of the suspension assembly and might not go back together again.
 
The car is a Sector 7, model no. 6018610, made in China.
None of the six wires go the external lamps.
I've been told that it does have proportional control.
 
If you have ANY ideas on servos with more than three inputs please respond as I'm clueless.
 
Thanks,
Peter

Thanks Matt, that's just what I'm doing. The new servo is almost exactly the same size as the 6 wire on, but the output shaft is square! But it's just a...

You may have success hacking your old lever onto your new servo, or you could also buy a new lever (control arm??) for your new servo. There are special...
