After ongoing investigations, I went for the Futaba BLS 551.
It is brushless, low profile, plus good speed & torque (almost got a 451, but its not low profile).

I have a Sanwa MX-3FG radio.

Maybe a Futaba of some sort?

The Sanwa servo's that came with the radio were functionally ok, but the teeth strip too easily.

Thanks

Only available online from A Main at present (everyone else is out of stock).
Selling for around US$85.

(2) Also, I just discovered a Hitec 645 in an old off road buggy at home.
Torque is 133 and speed is 0.2; slow-ish but I'm not sure how critical this is.
Not digital either.
