Default Where can I get a cheap high speed high voltage servo.

I'm looking for a cheap high speed high voltage servo for my F104, SC10 and 1:10 tourer.

Ideas?

What about just high speed (not high voltage)?

What is your definition of "cheap" e.g. how much are you looking to spend?

Ball park figure of say $50, I have used and like Savox's and have seen some suitable ones for $80.

Just curious to know... How low can I go.

A friend bought one of the coreless hobbypartz high speed servos last week, and he said it lasted about 8 seconds before dying. I had ordered one too, but haven't used it yet. Probably a good idea to stay away from TOO cheap..

Why do you want a high voltage servo for a 1/10 electric? They are intended for nitros with a lipo receiver pack. In a typical electric they won't deliver full performance, unless you add a separate receiver pack or BEC. Which seems overly complicated and overkill for most all 1/10 scale applications, regular voltage servos should work just fine. There are very fast regular voltage servos with plenty of torque for 1/10 available.

I was misinformed by someone who thought I wanted to run a separate RX battery.

So I dont need the high voltage servo anymore.

You can get some very good high speed servos for around $60-$70

There are a few between $40 and $50 that aren't bad, but if you can, spend a little more. You can get something much faster with more torque for an extra $20.

Savox has some in that price range. I have an orion(relabled Savox) in my 4wmod that has been fantastic. I also run the Savox HV servos on my eith scale with zero issues.
