I'm in Regina and order from Amain quite a bit. Super saver shipping is cheap and not too terrible for waiting time.

If you want fast shipping and still save $$$, HobbyKing sells Trackstar and BlueBird servo's, both of which I've had in a couple cars. Best value for servos......ever.

Last order (ESC + motor) I made on a Friday and got here on the following Monday.

for sure. i got advice on considering a rcomg D3-ST-BF30S but the specs make me think it might be excessively fast and it's off the charts for torque. basically i'm just more concerned with having something that has great build quality, can take some water and will out preform the stock traxxas 2075 which i found a little on the slow side.
i keep going back to savox servos but they're notoriously power hungry, loud and have a tough time playing nice with anything that doesn't have a strong internal bec.

Who recommended that servo? 1st off, its more or less designed for crawlers or maybe 1/8 MT's and its just a tad over the top for torque (450 oz/in @ 7.4V)....not to mention $140.

If you want a waterproof servo, theres not a lot of selection....but if you can waterproof your choice of servo, that would give you a lot more to choose from.

Or just get that Outerwears and no more worries.

yea, not to worry. once i saw the specs on that thing it scared me off. my brother uses and outerwears and is very happy with it.
in the end i ordered a tekno big bone center driveshaft, another stock chassis, and a savox with a spectrum cap from amain. for piece of mind i just went with what i've seen a lot of and will report back how everything worked out.
