I use a Hitech mg645 It has plenty of torque but isn't as fast as most high dollar servos but its only around $45.

If you can't afford the Airtronics, then the Futaba s3305 is only 38$ at Tower.

And after a month you'll see why they're so cheap.

Agree, I use an s3305 and its done its job so far. Cheap and has plenty of power with a 6v batt pack. Its a good idea to stay away from Hitech servos.

I just got a Airtronics 358 servo off of ebay new for $78 bucks. Just came in the mail today...I have seen a couple hitecs burn out, might have been a faulty reciever...but Im staying clear of them anyway. Airtronics come with a great rep among racers.

It seems to be very very slow!

I do think that with servoes there is a very good reason why the KOpropo, Airtronics and Futaba cost what they do. There is a big difference in quality compared with the lowpriced servos.

78$ for a 358 - in Denmark a Hitec 645 costs nearly 70$ and I've seen a Futaba s3305 sold at 130$ in the lhs!!
