Successful upgrade to my 1/16 brushless car!

I needed to change the stock steering servo to something that had much more power, torque and responsiveness. So I installed the BMS-661MG+HS Super Fast Servo (Metal Gear) 5.3kg / .10sec / 46.5g from Hobbyking. When I powered it up and tested it, the ESC kept stopping after a while because the servo was draining too much power from it. I then made a receiver bypass adapter;

And connected the servo directly to the battery using the HobbyKing HKU5 5V/5A UBEC;


It now works perfectly and withstands all the bashing I give it!
