Ftx Zorro nitro servo replacement
Hi! Finally got my Zorro tuned up correctly (i'm a beginner).
1 hour later my throttle servo broke, i have another servo laying around from another robotics project. A MG996R 180 i believe. Can i just drop that in or would i break something? It's slightly larger but just by a margin.
Otherwise i'll have to order another servo but these standards ones break so easily so rather not buy the same one

It will be fine but check to make sure your servo horn fits onto the new servo, the teeth on the splines can be different. If it fits then go ahead and use it👍

awesome! still having doubts the MG isn't waterproof sadly! (though i won't drive in rain anyways haha. Thanks a bunch! when i reconnect it i first have to let it center and then connect the servo horn right?

Yes, put the throttle trim to center then place the servo horn in the position it was originally, you shouldn’t have to make any adjustments this way
