Status: offline 		Go to the E place and search for MG995.... about 12 bucks each shipped in lots of four. I have been running some for a while, they are not the best servo around, bu for 12 bucks, if I destroy one, I just toss on another. Defniitely stronger than the stock servos. BB

Status: offline 		I have also been running the tower pro mg995 servos with great luck. They do have alot of torque and are pretty quick just dont expect precise steering. Great servo for the money. All my trucks are equipped with them and I have not had one fail or break yet.

Those would be ok for the throttle but not great for steering. The mg995 has over 200 oz/.13 sec @6.0v. And all BB,metal gears. The HT 645 still has 1 plastic gear which is its weak point for steering. Most use it for throttle.

Status: online 		^^^ You wont be dissapointed. Seldom do I see people complaining about them, usually they are excellent servos. I will need to buy a new set of 4 soon for my T-maxx.

Status: offline 		You can get them cheaper and faster from a seller in the states. It took about a month when I bought the first four from the guy in Hong Kong. Do not make the mistake I did, he does not combine shipping for multiple purchases. He makes his money on his shipping costs. BB
