RE: servo
i Wont recommend Ace/Ae anymore....ive seen Wayyy too many gear failures to trust them again.....Hitec is the ONLY way to go imo....and the warranty is BY FAR the best in the industry.

I'll say Ace until they fail me but compared to the Hitec it's seems to be a lot smoother and quieter.

Oh dear, how old?

a sure sign of them getting old is a wobble at center....they will twitch at center and over correct then over correct in the other direction and back and forth and back and forth....thats the top case going...then it'll let the gears outta sink and eat a gear set.....i have Countless set's of 1015 gears to prove this as well.

RE: servo
I recently looked into this too, cuz the Aces were going really cheap out of England for me, and I wanted to pick up a couple backups. Well, I'd always heard a bit too much negative feedback to feel comfortable, and the asking around kind of confirmed it... Even at a deal, there's no point in unreliable servos IMO. I know lots of guys love their Aces, but there are just too many people out there with bad experiences to feel confident laying down the cash for them - that's my conclusion anyway...
So I'm sticking with my Hitecs..
The 5955 is a tank. It'll probably outlast your truggy.

That's sounds like the problem starts with the bearing. Well, it's time to go check mine.

I was looking at the hitec 7955 tg for the steering on my 8t. Is the 5955 a less exspensive servo?

Does the warrenty cover this or just electrical and gear failures?

the warranty will cover anything and everything....Including your dog using it as a chew toy. (seriously i remember reading a member post that)
send it in and they WILL take care of you....receipt or not....i have never ever seen a hitec "centering" problem.
if you can break Titanium gears....your definatly doing something WRONG.

RE: servo
Im racing in a few weeks. I have a jr 650 at the steering and throttle. They will be a couple months old on race day. Integra would you bite the bullet and put in a new 7955 at the steering leave the 650 at the throttle or what. Im probably just being paranoid but I dont want any hangups on race day. Thanks

RE: servo
Personnally i would change out both. If you have the 650m it's a little to slow for my liking and the regular 650 doesn't have enough torque for either the steering or the throttle/brake but is plenty fast.
I guess it depends on how much you want to spend and how competitive you want to be.
That's why I like the Ace 1015. They have a good balance of speed and torque.

Ya I would like to change them both out but I can only do one right now. Eventually both though. Thanks

do the steering first....and if anything could you swing getting the 2.0 radio tray at the same time ?...that would sure help ensure the 650 doesn't take a dump on you on race day.
