Which hi tech servo do you recommend? anyone? I have been looking at the hs 55 but its not metal, I like the hs-85mg but its a little big and I want something that does not require cutting up the truck but if i have to, then I guess i will, anyways, I read somewhere someone recommended "purple" servos are those hitech and how do they perform?

I ran the 85 mg for a while and didnt like it. it just was too big and kept moving no matter how i fastened it down go with the 55. I havent had anyproblems yet

i run a servo that isnt metal either and i love it.. the steering torque is pretty quik.. i dont know who makes them because i got a bunch of them from a friend check out the video i didnt have to alter anything to make it fit.. i just use double face tape and mount it down with the servo lock plate...
the servos are clear blue and clear purple. if ya want one ill sell ya one.. click link

I use a HiTec HS-5125MG servo (programmable metal-geared airplane servo) without a servo saver. However, I've hit some brick walls very hard without hurting the servo. Of course, I installed that servo long before Losi came out with thier Mini-T servo saver for other types of servos. Some dremmeling/modification is required and the servo is not that cheap.

I use a hs-85 and I am going to get the fullforcerc.com aluminum chassis and get the servo mounts that will make the servo fit well.

if u use the servo lock plat you dont need them mounts i just put double sided take under it and mount the lock plate. and had no probs!

Lots of people use these: bluebird 380mg servo $14 with plastic gears to $20 for the metal gear.

My Feedback: (4)

yea the bluebirds are nice... the 371 is the plastic and the 380 is the metal

madblunted

where can you ge the metal gear one at? If i cant find it, i will probably get the blue hitec one.

My Feedback: (4)

madblunted

I just ordered the bluebird 380 mg, i cant wait to see, it, I hope its fast as yours Irish. I need that airtronics servo saver now. I think i'll check w/ rcboyz on ebay, they always seem to get stuff to me really quick.

My Feedback: (4)

what did ya get it for $20? i love them servos thats what im usin

madblunted

Irlsh

My Feedback: (4)

i ordered a alluminum 61t spur and a metal pinion and with them fatboys motor screws the clear cover on it will look smooth :P

madblunted

yup followed the link you gave to tower hobbies, ordered and am waiting, thats the thing i hate the wait lol. I want that and the mamba now, i am wondering how it will perform w/ just my 7.2 packs although w/ my multimeter i get a peak voltage of like 8.something volts.

Irlsh

My Feedback: (4)

regarding hitec's HS-85MG, what is the most recommended servo saver? i've read people have used some from hpi & kimbrough. will the servo saver for hitec servos from losi (LOSB1226- link below) fit it. it said it will fit hitec's HS-55, but i'm not sure the 85 would work. thanks

aqualung

can you use the stock servo saver on the hs-55. i dont know much about servos and any help would be appreciated

travis m

My Feedback: (3)

dont know never tryed it mite but i would just get the hs85

Irlsh

My Feedback: (4)

Well most people have taken apart the hitec servo and changed the horn from the stock one wich will work.. i myself use bluebird servos and i have had no problem feeding the savor on it without problem although the saver is a square inlet. good luck!
