| This is the Gabe Brown Engineering Aluminum Pro Servo Mount for the HPI Baja 5B and 5T vehicles. Would you like to make your Baja 5B steer better? Milled from 6061 T6 aluminum, the Pro Mount and the included servo horn allow you to use the JR 8711 for more precision, power, and control.
At Gabe Brown Engineering we wanted to get the Baja 5B to drive better, and to do that we needed to address the steering servo. The oversized servo that comes stock on the Baja is excellent for RTR use but we cannot leave the steering performance of the Baja 5B alone. We wanted to help the car keep the rear from coming around to the front during hard cornering. In order to catch the rear end we needed a better servo, and we chose the JR 8711 brushless servo for the steering duty. With the a massive torque of 403 oz/in @ 6.0v and speed of .15 sec/60 @ 6.0v, this servo delivers very precise steering and the car is much easier to drive. The servo features two ball bearings, digital circuitry, and an unbreakable metal and nylon gear train. It also has a red anodized heat sink to reduce heat. This is the premier servo in the JR line. If you like power, this is the servo for you. Keeping the stock geometry of the stock servo location and height, a new adapter plate was designed and fitted to the existing radio tray/servo mount, so no modifications are needed to install the Pro Mount. To complete the bolt on component package, a billet aluminum servo arm comes with the adapter plate. Using the stock mounting screws and the provided hardware that comes with the GBE Pro Mount, the installation is straight forward. There is no binding or any clearance issues to worry about. As with all of the GBE line of large scale R/C performance components, the GBE Pro Mounts and servo arms are CNC milled from 6061 T6 aircraft grade aluminum and polished to a brilliant shine. |
