I use Sanwa ERG-VX servos in my X1CR and they are extremely powerfull and fast.
I use Futaba 9451 servos in my RS4 and they are even faster!

on my jammin truggy i run a hitec 5955 on throttle and 5995 on steering, both are awesome servos. on my xray buggy i run dual ace 1015's, awesome servo as well! no draw back to the hitec and the ace has 2 draw backs- their size and servo horns that fit. personally i choose the hitec servos! the specs say [email protected], but they are faster! amazing servo, will be swapping out the aces for hitec's in a couple of weeks.

Go with the Cirrus P-CS704MG. Over 190 oz. of torque for $30. Can't beat it for the price. Smooth and strong.

wanna sell the ACE's ? i find the Hightecs too slow and notchy... I have both as well, removed the Hightec and run the ACE's LOL..... this season 4 Hightec failures, 0 ACE failures...

In my CEN Matrix Truggy I run the JRz9000T for steering and the JRz9000S for throttle. Spendy... but they are killer and have a 3yr warranty.

I had a HiTec 5955 in my Kyosho truggy and it lasted 2 races. Could've been a fluke... as I had a 645MG in my Savage and it never had a problem. As you probably know a steering servo in a MT takes a boatload of abuse and that cheap 645 worked just fine.

Hey guys...

Everyone is entitled to their opinions but please compare apples to apples. Please refrain from grouping all Hitec servos into one catagory; we make all levels for different needs.

Saying that the 5955TG is a Grand Am is a joke... more like a Ferarri! We do make Grand Am's too though.... i.e. 645MG

The 645MG is a piece of crap. It sucks. No way will I ever use one. Thank god I had as a steering servo. Had it died on throttle, dammit!! [:'(]

The 645MG is what it is, and sells for a reasonable price for the performance you get... I think to date there have been over 1,000,000 sold. Not bad for a POS!

If you are a high end racer then I could see that view... The Grand Am is a POS compared to other high end cars too.

Our new 985MG has proven to be an excellent throttle servo in 1:8th so you might consider it in the future if you want good bang for the buck. Street price is about $69.99. Here's the info on it: http://www.hitecrcd.com/Servos/hs985.htm

how many factory drivers do you currently support out there?

well I must appologize for my comments... It was aimed towards the fact people will call a product the best without having owned other products to compare... Saying the Hitec is the best "hands down" without ever having owned another competitors equivelent servo kind of pisses me off... Over the years I have owned dozens of hitec servos and radios. and Hitec does have excelent customer service... But over the years my Hightec gear has been the most prone to failure...Sure they are warranteed, but its alot of hassles to go thru.... Right now I own the flagship servo from ACE the 1015 and the Hightec 5997, 5997TG......the ACE IMO is the better performer and better value... though at this level of servoscomparing them is splitting hairs...

JagManSS

Wow this Hitec is 2$ more @ my LHS and I am in Canada [8D]..... can you say sweeeEEEEETTTTT ...

JagManSS

I have to go and lQQk @ my HellFire ~~~~~~~~you bet ya the same .... works really well !!!! Blew the gears out once ... but that was from other issues (my faul [&o] not the Cirrus ) ... all thou I did paid [:@] $75.00 CDN (Canadian) for my Cirrus @ my LHS oh Well !!! .... FYI the rebuild kit cost me 17.95 CND @ the same LHS.

JagManSS

I think that I am going to try one of the Futaba S9451 ... or at least see what my LHS can get it in for ..... maybe 72$ CDN

I bought this servo yesterday Cirrus P-CS704MG. It seems to work well. I'll give it a try and see how long it lasts. I guess for $50 it doesn't work to bad so far. If this don't pan out I'll try the ace next.

Presence

So what exactly does the oz/in mean...noob here

JagManSS

Maybe the first part of this with help you with your questions~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.rmfm.org/servo_travel.htm

I'm assuming this was a joke, you do understand the difference between ft pounds of torque and inch ounces of torque, its 16/1 if you ever want to do the math so a 333 in oz tq servo would be about 20 ft pds tq.

BTW IMO the best servo you can buy is a JR for torque my personal favorite is the DZ9000T.

Silentbob343

purchased where?

rc_dude1

A) that servo is cheaper then 50$. I can get it from hobbypeople for $30 http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/440704.asp
B) had that servo for steering in my buggy, it crapped out pretty soon.

JB COMP

Will a servo that has 195 in/oz and 15 sec. work in a truggy.

IARacer

Actually its closer to 440 ft/lbs of tq, which is massive overkill. I think all you really need is around 200 oz/in or roughly 265 ft/lbs. The reason they are rated in oz/in is because the servo doesn't travel anywhere near a foot, so inches is a much better number to deal with.
Anyway, to JB Comp's message, yes that should be fine. Something closer to .10s is preferred, but .15 will get you by.

JB COMP

Well theirs two I the I said above and the one left over from my buggy 144 in/oz and 13 sec. I thoght the one with 195 in/oz and 15 sec. would be better.
