Comments:
I was on the hunt for a good reliable servo that would not break the bank, and i found it. It's the Skyion G82122 Servo from Cen Racing. You can pick up this servo for around 15-20 dollars depending on your local hobby shop/web shop. I was going to use this servo in my Savage X SS, i was looking for a servo that is better than stock, for an affordable price. The servo puts out 144oz torque at 6v, and a speed of .16sec which is fast compared to a stock savage x servo. A stock savage x servo has 90oz of torque, and a speed of .20sec which is good, but can be better. I would recommend this servo for a serious basher looking for an affordable servo.
Hits:
Affordable price
nice upgrade over stock
metal geared
Misses:
None
