How many guys use Aftermarket servos
Just got done putting a hitec 5945 servo in my firestorm and I am really pleased with its functioning compared to the stock one much stronger centers much better and really fast seems to be easier to control while in a half swapped end sideways spin now and turns much better at holding the tires while turning under power.
So how many of you guys use a nice performance servo in your ride and what do you run?
Just striking conversation.

I don't use plastic geared servos in any of my offroads. The cheapest metal gear servo I have would be a 645mg and the most expensive would be an Ace DS1015(201oz. .10 trans)

I don't buy RTR's because I like putting together the kits and they don't come with servos.

Well I have taken my own truck apart many times and put it back together assembled my own aluminum shocks stripped all of my electronics for a mamba max system nothing is stock really except for the chassis. Yea i perfer kits too but they don't sell them that way. I was curious about other people and what servos they ran.

I have two nice aftermarket servos. Both digital and one is coreless. Hitec 5645MG digital, and a Futaba S9405 digital/coreless. They make a huge difference over standard servos!

Do you prefer Futaba servos over Hitec servos?

RE: How many guys use Aftermarket servos
ever since i got my futaba fast i used 2 digital servos with it and both were incredible one was a futaba and the other was a KO propo digital. i guess my thinking was stick to the manufacturer for a better connection a better feel.

I'm still running the stock Evader EXT servo... It's way to slow but I need to get some other stuff before I upgrade the servo.

Is This A Good Servo?
Does anyone in this forum have experience using the Tower TS-70 Super-Torque Metal-Geared Ball Bearing Servo? The specs look good and the price is righteous. More than 100 oz/in torque. Just wondering if anyone has used these and if so, how are they?
