mini t servo
what would be a good replacement for a servo in a mini t ? the old hitec hs 51 took a dump on me 2 of the gears chipped when it took a tumble due to lack of driving skills on my part any suggestions ?

I like the JR241MG. The only downfall to this servo is that it's very slow. It works great, especially if you're just going to bash.

Without a servo saver? I tried that, but it ended in broken gears.

how did you break metal gears in a mini? use the rc18t saver for it, but it requiers some modifications to fit

You'll have to get the Airtronics Servo Saver, but it's worth it. I've ran one for almost 2 years. Just pay attention to the servo mounting posts (blue) that come with it. They are shaved on one side to allow the servo to sit back just enough for clearance from the steering assembly. Shaved side faces forward.

but just go with the hs65mg with a rc18 (ht) servo saver
fits perfect with slight hobbyknife trimming

RE: mini t servo
Heck I raced mine for 3 years on and off road tracks and run 65mg's in all my mini's with only 2 sets of stripped gears in bad wrecks. Not bad considering what it saw for those 3 years of racing.
