hey guys so i was uising a loner hitec servo and my friend took it back and gave em his busted up spektrum from his losi rtr. its slow and has some play. so im looking for a decent servo. im not a competive racer, i just go to my local track every two weeks . and thats the only place i use my rc... multiple brands are appreciated. and models. and prices. thanks guys.

get advice from your track

ACE DS1015 or Sanwa ERG-VZ. you will never need anything more than one of these and it will transform your buggy.

HITEC HS-7955tg a little pricey but well worth the coin. ULTRA STRONG AND FAST. It has titanium gears instead of metal.

+1 I've 5955tg on all my truck (it's the predecessor of the 7955tg) and it's the best servo you can buy for the price. Killer torque and speed.

+1 I have 4 of these in different vehicles. 1 in my Hyper 8 pro, one in my Hyper 8.5 pro, one in my race Savage and one as a throttle brake servo in my 1/5 scale HPI Baja 5B SS. In my 3 1/8 scale I run the 1313 as break throttle servos.

The new Team Orion Vortex servos look good for the price. http://www.stormerhobbies.com/cgi-bi...umb=on&smode=0

any of the Hitec 79XX lineup will do just fine.....buy Big...Buy ONCE....servo's are not to be taken lightly...they'll always come back and Bite you in the end.

Wow! Thats alot of servo for the money with the Vortex! Any body running them???

anyone see those PPP servos?

also im not pro. so im not looking for something super fast im looking for something decently quick. i dont wanna spend 100 on a servo... im still a nub so metal is okay. lol

You get what you paid for with PPP servos so ive heard. Ive never had /seen or used one so I cant tell you from experience. I did a little research on them cause for 12 bucks how could you go wrong is what I thought. I decided not to waste the money on them even tho they were so little.

I'll throw in another vote for the 7955tg. Do it right the first time and don't look back. $100 on a servo is not much in the grand scheme of things when it comes to rc. I would think that us less talented drivers could benefit more from the higher-end servos because we are a lot tougher on our equipment than expert drivers.

+1!!!

i really need a servo right now. but i cant afford 100 bucks on one. i just bought a spektrumn 2.0 and im buying a miggy for 100 bucks. tell me that isnt a deal. also have my eyes ona complete Rc8 with servos elecs and motor.

more vehicle's means more servo's more maintnance more fuel...more everything.....i would use that 100$ towards a good servo.

+1

and ace 1013

Ace all the way, fast, reliable, smooth quiet, inexpensive. thundertiger4u has got them starting at 72.99

If you like the Ace you can also go with the associated 1015. They are exactly the same just different branding

Ace/Ae servo's Do Not Stand the test of time...plain and simple.[sm=47_47.gif]

I've gone through more hitecs than I care to count.

they were only 645's and 5645's though, not putting dopwn hitec, just had a string of bad luck with them

645's are far from the Ti geared 59XX - 79XX line up.

I've had 3 AE/Ace 1015's lay down in less than a year of running.

Haven't run any Futaba servos and don't really care for the JR 9100T in my truggy.


I have run the Hitec 5955.
It originally went into my T Maxx, ran for almost 2 yrs, then went into my Jammin X1-CRT and lasted all the way up to the current owner of the truggy, who killed it by locking down the servo saver.
That's almost 3 yrs running in an extremely abusive setting, before failure.
(premature failure-had he not locked the saver down, it would still be going)


Care to guess what I'll be buying from now on?
