Hey guys/gals, my ole trusty 94358 steering servo of 2 years finally died last night. Do I want the 9000s or T for steering duties? I have another 958 on the throttle/brakes.
If not JR anyone have any other brands they like?
I race every weekend at the club level and attend the state and Nat's although I dont compete in the A's at those.

Tech Regular
I have this set-up in my 1/8 scale, the whine fron digi servo's
is ''elect noise'' as it try's to hold & look for the spot the transmiter
is sending it against the load. Don't want that noise at neutral.
It's using up batt and can't be great for the servo.
A very precise set up of the horn and smooth linkage will minimize it.
As my steering wears and loosens it will whine a little when on the starter box
{full extention on linkage=more load from linkage to servo than normal ride height}
I just blip the throtle or wiggle the wheel to center the
tires and linkage and it quiet.

Tech Adept
if it was a jr after two years it would still be under warranty

KO Servos are hard to beat.

I switched my servos and put the JR9000T on brake-throttle and the Ace 1015 on the steering. The Ace has 200oz. at .108. It is much better to drive now. Steering feels a WHOLE LOT better to me. The JR seemed just a little bit too slow for my taste. I drive the Losi 8 and the faster Ace fits me better. So, I'm going to stick with the faster servos for steering from now on. What are the ratings on the 9000S? I almost chose that before I decided to give the 1015 a try. But I pretty happy for now.

JR 9000s has at transmit time of .06 at 6 volts with 128oz. of torque.
It is super quick and it will help you be a better driver too. also anything with less than .10 for steering of a buggy makes it hard to drive IMO. Unless it is a truggy and then you have to sacrifice speed for torque. I too drive a losi 8 and it is perfect.
