Hitec 5954SH, 5945TG, 5799TG hands down!
I orderd a Savox TG-1258 as a throttle servo for my nitro because I can get them really cheap, but my Hitec's are awesome. Been running my 5954SH for 10months and no sign of wear. And I drive with a tight servo saver.

Savox SC-1258TG is a favored steering servo amongst the drivers i know. High speed with plenty of power for an 1/8th buggy.

I've got a season and a half on my Futaba BLS351. Love it...

The problem i have seen with the 58TG's is teeth stripping out in 8th scales.

Everything else is perfect though.

I like the Savox 1256. Also like running the old faithful Futaba 3305. Maybe not the strongest or fastest, but cheap and reliable.

That is what I am running. About to bump up to the 1267 though. I miss the speed.

Savox SC-1258TG here. Has worked fine for 3 months, plenty of crashes and lots of cartwheels! :lol: Buggy is an RC8Be.

XP ds 1015:)

You'll need 160+ oz/in of torque, and a transit time of at least .15 seconds.

Yup. I stripped the teeth on the Savox 58TG after only 2 packs at the track. Some hard landings, but no crashes.

I've never had any problems with my Hitec 7955 or my Hobbico CS-170 or my Associated DS1015. All very good servos.
