What servos you guys running?
And hows the performance.

We use the G82122 Hi-torque 10kg all metal gear servo in both our Nemesis and Genesis trucks. You can view information on the servo's at this link: http://www.cenracing.com/skyion.html

I changed mine to the hitech 5955 digital servo (all titanium geared) its like 250oz-300oz.. Have to say its none to small, but way better than the stock 144oz the CEN puts in from factory. CEN should really think about upgrading to the bigger servo my stock servo actually broke after about 2 weeks of running so I upgraded.

I agree the stock servos are pretty weak the the genesis monster.[>:]

I think CEN should hire me to test there r/c's It only took me 1 time to drive the nemesis to find about half a dozen upgrades that should be done.

It's not really the servos that are weak, the servo saver is what gives first as it was intended to do to protect the servo. If you go with a titanium gear servo you really will not reap the benefits unless you can get the servo saver tighter or get aluminum pieces.

Yea me to, dont know who came up with the idea with hollow axles???

The weak point off the truck, make the truck weakiest where it carries the wieght of the truck . ( 1 of the weak points) .

They should have move'd the pin (hex pin) location further outward ,right under the hex nut , and then made the axle solid........I broke 2 axles just jumpin a 3 foot ramp.[&o]

made mine solid. anyway sorry cen....come on.... wake up ,think about it, before building it.

dont mean to sound pisss'd , but we have paid good money,give us a great product.

(((ill never give up my genesis,,,,,,no matter what/

I disagree; I went from not being able to turn the titres with the servo save cranked down , to being able to turn the tires with me pushing the front end down with my foot with the servo save back almost all the way off. (144oz vs 300oz) And the servo has way better response. But just my 2 cents.

i ve got 3 Maxxes, EVERYONE OF the 2055 steering servos wear out or just quit not to long into the run life. Y cuz they are cheap and weak... ANY Monster Truck SHOULD be equiped with a QUALITY servo, but then the price for the trucks would go up 100.00. so *** for tat...

personally i pull the steering servos out of my new trucks as soon as i can get a GOOD Quality servo.. my all aluminum TMaxx has a JR Z9000 UT... this thing will trun the wheels full radius, IN THE MUD.. as long as its not overtop the whole tire.....

my new CT5 still has stock servos, but the car is barely broke in...so i ve yet to experience the servo under duress..

a steering servo with high quality gears will work great, the biggest problem i see with steering servos, besides being in an area which can be easy to hit them, is when your running the trucks over anything about 1/4 throattle, the inertial of the spinning wheels pushes back against a truning servo, and will actually straiten out your turn against the force fo the servo and wear the internal gears quickly.... a full metal gear/ high quality High or Ultra Torque servo has enough balls in it to HOLD the tire in any turn position, and will not allow the inertia of the spinning tires to push against the servo causeing premature wear, just from driving and turning...

not to mention the improved steering response, a tighter turn radius if properly set up. and enough power to hole the wheels at 1/2 turn radius with a WOT..
thats what is all about....

So can someone tell me what would be the best servos to get for the genesis, money no option? I was thinking perhaps futuba, but not sure on what model. Also whats all this about servo savers, where is this on the genesis?
