on the cheap used for 1/10 2wd buggy, I really enjoyed the JR 9100S servo I had. lightning fast on 6V. I would however NOT use this servo in something heavier as you can get the "JR Shake" on a hard impact.
Right now I got on a Savox 1251MG on the cheap as I wanted a low profile servo and it does about what I would expect, however I am definitely used to the faster response of the JR so I am going to be looking possibly for another servo and put this in the spare buggy I am going to setup.
As a side question, what low profile servos offer HV capability?
And what servos that fit this topic are sub .08 sec of transit?

@Cain, why do you want/need a low profile HV servo anyway? While the posted servo technically meets your specs, are the torque numbers enough? I'm just curious about your need for a low profile servo and HV..it's not a normal combination.

To say a servo destroys lipos is a pretty Ballsy statement and ridiculous.
I use thatbservonis everything 1/10 2wd & 4wd buggy, sct, stadium truck, 1/8 Buggy and Truggy. With Futaba 4pls and futaba r304sb reciever. Have not had 1 issue.
Sounds to me you have other issues.

Not super budget but I'm really liking the KO PROPO 30205 HV low profile servo in my RB6.6

I think Cain stated it was due to now having esc's that can output 7.4 at the Bec
But for me I use the solar servos (770,771,772) and billdelong has done a number of reviews and showed that 6 volt numbers are a bit exaggerated. So I run 7.4 volt because I can and you get more torque. Plus since i pull from the balance plug I don't need to worry about the Bec being over taxed (especially on my basher emaxx that probably has a 2 amp Bec)
Still run my 770's off the ESC Bec at 6.0 v as it's plenty quick and more then enough torque for 2wd buggy but if I had a 7.4 volt Bec why not (Minot)

I don't know why everybody is a hater. I think the Savox 1258 is the best servo that you can get for the money. All the new RXs have enough power so that power hungry servos like the 1258 don't cause brown outs. If the 1258 is good enough for Cav it should work for most of us. I, myself, am not too picky but I mostly use the KO RSXs but those cost more than twice what the Savox does. Once again, this thread is about what the best "budget" servo is. That's my $.02.
PS: I'm not singling anybody out but the idea that a servo could destroy a lipo is kinda like saying the world is flat. I'm just saying......
