RE: Hitec 1/4 scale servos
When I bought my MT-5 I listened to all of the know-it-all noobs and thumbed my nose at the 805 and adopted the 5745; Huge MISTAKE!
I believe that no ammount of customer service will ever make up for a garbage product. The 5745 IMO falls squarely in that catagory. I have cooked 5 count 'em 5745s with two weeks of downtime minimum from sending back to hitec and recieving them. I switched to the 805 in both vehicles and no problem since. Say all you want but; digital steering and large scale off-road just don't go together. On-road and parking lot bashing may be ok but the dirt is tough on radio gear. My first choice would be the Tonewega/oddified second the 805 and third the Tower quarter scale. If I lived in England I would run tonewega/oddie's in everything but until that happens the 805 it is.
