What scale buggy? 1/8 or 1/10? Either application, it is a great servo. However, you should first look into Savox servos. I have one in my B4.1, and it is amazingly fast.

hey collector.....Since you are running Savox servos, I have to ask: Now really, can you tell the difference between 50ms and 20ms?  Be honest now.  And how long have you been running that servo?

I'm running a 7955TG in my savage flux. It is amazing. Bought it new from someone on a forum for around 2/3 price I think. I'd be too cheap to buy one retail.

I don't really know. Its just one of the fastest servos on the face of the earth and isnt 150 dollars. I have been running it for about a year now and its great.

The Hitec 7955 is one of the best investments you can make in RC. It's maybe not as fast as some of the others, but it is incredibly reliable and durable. I've had my one 5955 for several years, in 3-4 different RC's.. Generally it's safe to say they will outlast your RC's.. I'm a mega-cheapskate for the most part, but good servos are one area where IMO you have to spend a bit extra.

BTW, Tower has a Hitec-built Hobbico rebadge of the 5955 for cheaper.. Forget the model number.. I have it in my DM-1 - soon to switch it over to an MT...
