Default RE: servo

Find the specs on your servo
(Did that for you)
Modulation: Analog
Torque: 6.0V: 86.0 oz-in (6.19 kg-cm)
Speed: 6.0V: 0.20 sec/60°
Weight: 1.59 oz (45.0 g)
Dimensions: Length:1.60 in (40.6 mm)
Width:0.80 in (20.3 mm)
Height:1.43 in (36.3 mm)
Motor Type: Brushed
Gear Type: Plastic

Look for a replacement with the same rough case size and at least the torque and speed you have, maybe a tad more.

Hitec HS-5625MG

Motor Type: 3 Pole Ferrite
Bearing Type: Dual Ball Bearing
Speed (4.8V/6.0V): 0.17 / 0.14
Torque oz./in. (4.8V/6.0V): 110 / 131
Torque kg./cm. (4.8V/6.0V): 7.9 / 9.4
Size in Inches: 1.59 x 0.77 x 1.48
Size in Millimeters: 40.39 x 19.56 x 37.59
Weight ounces: 2.11
Weight grams: 59.82


Doesn't mean this would be a good replacement. I would think it would be but there might be better, I didn't spend much time looking. You can also do a RCU search for "traxxas 2055" or "traxxas 2055 replacement" to see what others might have already said.

One other thing to watch out for when you change brands of servos. Different brands turn in different directions with the same change in input pulse width so you may have to change the reverse switch in your transmitter to get the same reaction from the new servo.

Or just reprogram the servo in the reverse direction and be done with it.

easier said than done
With the majority of servos it takes more than reprogramming
