Best servos for the $$?
#16
if you did not like the savox servos thats fine thats what is awsome about this hobby so many choices ...LHS told me about the trade/swap in if you break a savox servo which is a reason I tried one to begin with ...I have not had to use the option yet though

7955, these may be a little more pricey but u need to weigh out the cost of a raceday breakdown and over all used value of your equipment. A 7955 will usually sell in about 10min on this site also the warrenty is outstanding, some may dissagree but I havent any issues with them at all. Do some homework and u can find some good deals out there on the new ones usually for around $89 used around $65

i have use most high-end servos, the ones I like best are the futabas bls series but theses are pricey, Jr 9100t and s are fast and torquey but do not seam to last and do not centre properly after some use, the Hitec 7955 well not...its the workhorse of rc, when you do not know what to use can't go wrong with the 7955. I have been using Orion and Savox servos for the last year (Orion and Savox are the same) and have to agree that they are the best bang for the buck, specially the Savox branded ones.

See sig. I've been running the 5955 for 3 years, the 7955 for 2, never an issue, and I'm HARD on steering servos (see avatar)

p.s My definition of "bang for the buck" on servos:
I bang into stuff all the time, and I haven't had to spend any bucks to replace them yet. Why would I try anything else?

We haven't had any to come back but all we have to do is send it back to HRP and we get a new one in return.

In a few years of rc racing i have tried every servo known. Several months ago i spoke with a few different hitec reps and techs. Through all the servos of all brands i have burned up and many with a great replacable warranty hitec is the best out there hands down for 1/8 offroad. Specically the 7955. Only thing better is the 7950 and with all the reps i have spoke to they all recomend the 7950 on lipo for both throttle and steering. good luck

Used to be the Ace servos. I ran the 1015 and that's a mean servo. Savox looks to be the new hot servos. I switched to Hitec 7940 and run LiPos with them and love it. GL in your search. So many choices.

When truggies first came out, there were none of these 300oz monster servo's being used.
