From what I can tell these are the three main choices:

* HS-7945TH - 320 @ 7.4V - 0.10 @ 7.4V
* HS-7950TH - 486 @ 7.4V - 0.13 @ 7.4V
* HS-7955TG - 333 @ 6.0V - 0.15 @ 6.0V

Some are faster, some have more torque and some use less voltage.

Will the voltage affect my battery life and if so by how much do you think?

What is more important torque or speed? Does a 1/10 scale need much torque or is it more for for 1/8th scale? What is the perfect amount of torque and speed for a B4 and a T4?

Would love to hear your guys/gals opinion.

P.S. I guess we can debate companies as well but it seems like Hitec is the gold standard of servos or I could be wrong.

I use standard Futaba 3004 servos in buggies. They have enough torque and speed to do the job. Trucks and bigger racers need more torque and speed.

Servo should not impact your battery life in offroad.

You wouldn't need any of those you listed for 1/10th scale. Those are all considered 1/8th scale servos, and any servo that lists running on 7.4v isn't going to perform as stated when running in a 10th scale because esc's only provide 6v to the servo. IMO if you want a "good" servo find one that is 125+oz of torque and a transit speed under .15 @6v. Nothing wrong with a 3004 but you'll notice the difference.

Check out Hitec HS-985 or, if you need a digital HS-5985.

get the align ds620 servo,they worked great in my t4 and b4 and now it's in my sc10.IT is 0.07 sec at 143 onces of torque and they only cost 67.99 and they have a coreless motor and titanium gears with a aluminum heatsink case.Plus you could use the stock servo horn because it is the same as futaba.Check them out you won't regret it.

I run:

Kyosho RT5
Futaba BLS451
147oz .10 sec @ 6v

Schumacher Cougar
Futaba S9402
111oz .10 sec @ 6v

Ultima SC
Orion Vortex 1007
138oz .07 @ 6v

They all are more than adequate IMO.

I have one of those bls451 but swapped it for the align because they are they are cheaper and faster.And they also have an aluminum heatsink too.

My next servo will probably be the Savox SC-1256TG.

277oz and .15 seconds for $70. Highly recommended by the european crowd.

That servo is not meant for a b4,It's meant for the 1/8 buggies and truggies and the speed is too slow.He needs something with 0.10 or faster.

.1 or faster is definitely not a requirement. .15 - .10 is an acceptable range for me.

Savox has a servo with a .048 transit but only 70 oz of torque. I was wondering if that would be enough for a 2wd buggy like an X6 or RB5?

The Orion 1007 is an awesome servo as is the DS1015 for the money.

I think Futaba and Hitec are SERIOUSLY overpriced and their specs are not that impressive.

My favorite is the jr9100s.

The only servos i'll buy from hitec and futaba are the hitec 7955tg and the futaba bls 451 because they are strong and fast,But not faster than the align's.

I like the 9100s's but they are too much money.I can get two align ds620's for the the same price as one jr 9100s,And they are 0.07 at 138.9 ounces with a metal heatsink along with all titanium gears too.

.15 too slow .10 is about the what you would want
the savox servo wont work there is not enough tourqe and if it doues turn the tires it will be way too fast to control, you would be doing more harm then good.!
i would have to agree with you on the ds1015 i love the xp servos!
