You could geta  flysky Gt3b for 35 shipped though, its better than that, and Savox has some very nice budget servos

I'm still running stock/replacement Redcat servos so I can't
recommend any but there are ton on that website. The one
with the metal gear should work great. While your there look
at there wheel and tire. Dirt cheap!

thnx.. my redcat servos, both of them, went on me only during 4th tank of break in. i called them to see if i can get some new ones but they told me to call their tech line and see if they can help. obv i would think they would just send them for the sake of not making it through break in but its ok.

Really? All I did was fill out the warranty form on the
Redcat website, no question ask and they send me a new one.

yeah i thought thats what they will do but they keep telling me to call tech support. so i just ordered everything new. i figured no name brand servos is a no no. i have 2 yokomo gt4's and i dont feel to safe running no name brand servos on my cars. i figured these things are an investment so i prefer upgraded electronics. thnx guys for all your helps. i 2nd day air'd the servos and the flysky gt3b, cant wait to get them

I run my Shockwave/Tornado (it's a hybrid, lol) with a flysky gt2. Works just fine and only cost me $20 from Hobbypartz.

As for steering servo, just get any good standard servo. I have a Redcat Avalanche stock steering servo in mine. I upgraded the Avalanches servo so I moved the stock one to the buggy. The buggy doesn't have very big wheels so that servo is more than enough for it.

You can't go wrong with the gt3b. I got 2 weeks ago and it's
awesome, very easy to use and set up. Get it quick while it in
stock. I had to wait 2 months for mine.
