Airtronics 358, Hitec 645, 945. you will need to get part number 5345X as well to make the servo horns work with non-traxxas servos.

I use the 645 with the stops ground off the truck and the thing turnes like a buggy....

Drew, that's an Airtronics servo, and I see NO need in going to Hong Kong for a freakin' servo, even if it saves $10 or so overall (and I'm not sure it does!!).

And it's clear he want's a really GOOD servo...coreless motor, 200ish oz. torque @6V, .15 sec. 'speed' at 6V (or faster). The 645 is mediocre at best..it's good VALUE, but not that great a servo

I have a Hitec 5945...a nice option. But Hitec's new titanium gear servos seem to be the most capable out there, and the ti gears are just a bonus on toppa the performance They're a LITTLE more than you mention ($115 each), but check them out!!:

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHZR9&P=0 333oz. torque ( [X(][X(][X(] ) .15 sec speed

That seems too good to be true..it's NOT a jumbo re. it's size. So why the hell do they offer these at the same price??

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHZR7&P=0 250 oz/.19 speed
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHZR5&P=0 181 oz/.14 speed
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHZR3&P=0 111oz/.10 speed

Anyhoo....ti gears/coreless motors/ball bearings. Hard to argue with them...ESPECIALLY the first one!! .15 sec speed is PLENTY fast for MT use, and that torque is OBSCENE!!

I wasn't slamming you or the servo...just the idea that it makes ANY sense to get it thru Hobby People in HONG KONG!!!! MAYBE that makes sense on a $700 truck/buggy where you're saving $75-100, but certainly not radios or radio accessories. Those kinda things can crap out, and if they do, Hobby people ain't gonna help you (or if they do, it'll be a HUGE...LONG hassle).

NO warranty...NO support, and it's only $19 cheaper than going thru Stormer (WITH US warranty...WITH someone you can get on the phone if needed)...BEFORE you figure in shipping. I dunno what they'd charge to ship from HK, but I'm guessing about $15-20 (insured)...Stormer would probby be $5-6.

"Your" servo is the Airtronics 94358...one that's been out a LONG time...one that someone mentioned in this thread...one that's long enjoyed a deserved rep. as a great steering servo.

Thnx for the feedback everyone. Sorry I couldn't return faster so I could be in that 'disagreement'. D*** guyz I was just asking a question. Everyone is gonna have a different opinion on what they like/dislike. So my next q is why are all four of those servos on site the same price?

em x 6 racer

I dont know if they are any good and maybe one of these fellas could help you out but www.nitrohouse.com has servos for real cheap with lots of trq. The one I was looking at was 195 in oz trq in .16 sec 60 degrees at 6V for less than 40.00$. But like I said I have no experience with them. Maybe someone who does could help us out.

If you have upgraded your radio sysem, then this http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXUZ86&P=ML just remember, digital servos should not be used wth a stock radio.
If you still are using the stock sysstm, then this is a good bet... http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXUZ89&P=ML another good bet is http://nitroobsession.proboards79.com/index.cgi check it out.

with all servos setting your endpoints is real critical to performance and servo life, and at a 100.00 usd a pop, it becomes even more important. make sure if you have the option on your tx to set epa's, to do so.

ok guyz, everyone is recommending hitec, airtronics, and jr system servos. But I'm running a spektrum DX3. Is there any servos targeted for my system or does it really matter? all servos working with any radio systems??? thanx everone for your feedback.

Hi-tec RULES I have a 5995TG 330oz torque .15 sec @6v. $109.00 on ebay new.

second, I have a hi-tec 5945mg in my 1/8th scale buggy. It crapped out last week and I sent it in. 5 days later I get a brand new servo in the mail. You cant beat that kind of service.

Do what you want, Im just stating facts that I know.

I run a sanwa erg-vb (airtronics 94358z in the usa) in my revo and it performes great! Quick and strong.

So THAT'S the reason why my steering has been so strong & trouble free!!



I've been running a digital 5945 Hitec for 3 years w/my stock radio...never had an issue. I have a huge battery, though (2700mah), so the fact that digitals use more power has never been a factor. Other than that, digital servos work FINE with the stock radio, Kiff!
