I would like to find out what is a good $70 servo I could use for both steering and throttle on a 8ight buggy?

I was looking at:

Hitec HS-985MG
Ace DS1313

There are many good servos around, but DO NOT get an Ace. They are one of the worst servos there is. I had troubles with mine and others have had the same trouble. Sometimes u could get full throttle, then you would only get a quarter and then other times u would only get half. They are unreliable

i run an Ace 1015 for steering and it's an awesome servo. i know heaps of racers that run these servos and they swear by them.

I think i'm running a Hitec 945 for throttle/brake... It does the job.

1.) are you racing?

you get what you pay for, and $ 70 doesn't cut it on the track, get a good $100 if that is your intent.

The Hitec 985 is a great choice. I have had the digital version of it (5945) in my buggy for 3 seasons with no trouble other than the case's ear breaking off after two seasons. I replaced the case for $4.50. The 985 is as good as any servo on the market, at any price. Spend the extra $$ if you really need digitals.

I picked up an Ace DS1313 for my throttle servo and an Airtronics 94358 for steering on my XRAY XB8 - both lightly used on the forums in here for less than $70 each. There are so many servos for sale on here you should be able to find one without much trouble - just shoot for a steering one that has at least 200 oz-in of torque and a fast one for throttle/braking, around 160-170+ oz-in of torque there and you should be ok.

I just installed a pair of 985's in my buggy today. I have always had good luck with Hitec and these servos look like they will be no exception. Plenty of power and speed for both steering and throttle. BTW, I will sell you a JR 9100T for $80 shipped

since this is going into an 8ight I would suggest buying at least 5 servos. You are going to need them....I promise
