Might last a little bit... might break tomorrow... you never know with RTR servo's I can say I have never had a problem, not once, with the throttle servos, just the steering tend to go bad.

I like the JR 650 and Hitec 645MG servo's both have about 140oz of torque and can be found for less than 40.00. The JR has a 3 year warranty and the Hitec has a 2 year warranty. Just send it back if it breaks and they fix it or send you a new one! If you want to go all out get the Hitec 5955 330oz servo for about 100.00 and you do not have to worry about breaking a steering servo again!

Yes, I replaced my stock steering servo with a Hitech 645 before i even dropped my hurricane in the dirt. I figured I'd replace it now and "if" it goes bad I'll always have the stock servo in my toolbox to toss in while it's getting fixed under warranty. The hitech is a pretty strong little servo, and affordable.

just remember you get what you pay for. Most of us run the 114.00 dollar one in the steering but then again we are on the track beating the car up

I`ve been to your store I was wondering if you could recommend a good servo for a monsoon that reacts fast. I`m a poor driver I need something that responds faster than the stock steering servo.

Clermont gave you one of the best duggestions I know of and thats the HS9645MG that is one heck of an accurate digital servo and has a good warranty on it also. OOP's he said HS645MG LOL mine is a step up from that but ther both good
