Status: offline 		I THINK the 5645 will be better. I know it's digital, has bearings, metal gears, great specs. It's NOT just a digital version of the 645.

I got the 5945, which is the same as yours with a coreless motor, but I only did so 'cause I got it at a great price from a seller here on the RCU Marketplace (plug-plug!!).

What does digital mean? Not that you ask, and more importantly, I don't really know, so I'm hoping someone can help explain it. I don't think you need it for basic higher-end radio functions (endpoint setting, anti-lock, etc,) but I do think you need them for the "HSR" radios (high-speed response), and you actually need a special programmer to take full advantage of them. I guess you can set them to work like a fail-safe, where the servo actuates to a preset position if you go outta range.

Like I said, I think a lot of us would like to know what "digital" really brings to the table re. servos, so please chime in!!

Status: offline 		If you guys do a search in the radio thread there's lots of explanations for the analog vs. digital questions. I'm still a little confused by it. Mostly airplane guys were discussing it.

Status: offline 		I just ordered one and paid $39 + shipping. I have one Emaxx with the stock 2055 (sucks), the other had teh Hitec in. I am also having my eye on a XTM X-175 MGHP Torque Punisher SX

4.8 volt = 175oz. and .22sec.

6.0 volt = 210oz. and .17sec.

dimensions = 41 x 20 x 40mm


for $35

By the numbers, that is even better than the Hitec (which sometimes seems to have problems to return to neutral).

Do you know how it compares with the Hitex HS 645MG?

Let us know.

I also use a hitec 645mg servo in my almost Stock T-maxx. Seems to work pretty well. I paid $35 for mine brand new. I also run a JR z590m Servo on my show max. It works wonderfully and turns the wheels with plenty of torque. The only suggestion I have is to go with a proline steering kit or at the very least a Kimborugh $6 servo saver if you put in any hi-torque servo. It will make a world of difference in high speed cornering.

Check out my site for a few pics of my cars with the servos!

Status: offline 		My .02 - I've got 3 busted hytec servo's, all are the hi torque models from cheap to top shelf, all did an ACCEPTABLE job until they broke from my abuse. Although I could have gotten them replaced for free (warrantee), it really wasn't a defective servo, just an UNDERRATED one!
I got tired of replacing them all too often so I bought an Airtronics 358 and haven't had ANY regrets since.
Now we have a few more Quality choices, my advise is to buy a
GOOD QUALITY servo now, you'll actually save money (by not replacing them every few months) and time (not waiting on replacement) in the long run.
I busted my first airtronic 358 servo after 2+ years of pure MT abuse,
I gaurantee I got my moneys worth and didn't hesitate to buy another.
Also, I spent $30 to rebuild the busted one, its good as new now, its been in service in another MT for over a year now without ANY problems.

I spotted a new 275 oz HT servo (cant recall brand name), I haven't done any research on it yet but it may be my next one I try. With nearly 100 oz more torque than the Air 358, its definitely something to look at and consider.
