I just bought two Hi Tec Ultra Toruqe servos(HS-645MG).

I paid $40 for each. I haven't installed them yet.

Are they really worth it? I'm feeling a bit of buyer's remorse.

Do they last? Thanks for the input guys.

I routinely pay more than $40 for each servo on all my cars, typically $80-$110 and I've found you get what you pay for. The 645 is a good servo, not by any means the best, but to get anything good at $40 the 645 is fine.

I agree with binary (above).....I think the HS-645MG is a nice servo for replacing the stock steering and/or throttle (although most people move their stock steering to the throttle position). I am running the 5645MG in my throttle and the 5945MG in my steering which are both digital servo's, and I like the performance with them so far. You'll do fine with the 645....I'd say keep it.

YEAH THEY WORTH IT ...TRY BLUE BIRD SERVO'S AND SAVE... IF YOU LIKE THEY WORK GOOD ON MY FG 1/5TH SCALE MONSTER BEETLE.

I had to replace the little plastic gears in the steering servo of my Savage twice. Then I bought the 645 MG, it's been all-good ever since, great upgrade in my book

My Feedback: (1)

I have a Futaba 9450 that is the same size as a standard servo but much more torque and speed. Was it worth the 80 bucks I paid for it on EvilBay ($140 at retailers at the time)? Well it lasted 12 months in my heavy, heavily modified t-maxx plus 18 months in my nitro rustler. It still works great, ready for my next truck. My brother waxed three traxxas heavy duty servos in less than a year. It was worth it for me. I think for monster trucks, it is neccessary.

In a word...yes...they are worth it. The 645 is a good replacement servo - when and if you want more performance, start looking at the $100 range...there you can get into the HS5955tg (if looking for torque...333 oz of it!) and if you want to get something faster - fast is good for a throttle/brake servo!

yes they are worth it once you start buying high quality servos you wont want anything else.

that about says it all...that is what I meant to say!

I think they are worth it. the metal gear servos shouldnt go out on you unlike plastic.
