I race Clodbusters on carpet, and needed a high power servo. I came across OMG servos, and have been using them for over a year now. I told Tony my application, and he sent me this one. HDT065150B.
I have never seen a servo turn clod tires like this. Ive used Spektrum, JR, and Airtronics.. WOW!! It is amazing. My times decreased, and I got to drive more aggressive since the servo wasn't slowing me down anymore, and I still use a servo saver even tho Tony told me not to use one. The rated oz is 208 at 6.0v. yea.. Its more like 300!!! I do use a Castle BEC to power my servos, just makes sense.
OMG is getting more popular in America's and for the cost, its worth it. If you want to try something different, they are the way to go.
They are on FB as well if you need to contact them.

They're an awesome servo! But the same price ($99 Amain) you can get the Hitec HS-7954SH instead. Basically the same servo with the same 333oz @ 6.0v rating but is rated for 7.4v with over 400oz! I run a HSR-5980TG which has the 7955's titanium gears but is HV capable with the same ratings as the 7954 and a slightly different case. I run that sucker in a LST XXL without a servo saver and it takes anything I throw at it.

Running an external BEC is a must to get the most out of a servo. I've tested servos for amp draw and saw average draw around .75amp with spikes over. 1amp. I went from an internal esc Bec rated at 5amps to the 10amp Castle ( set to 6.0v) and saw a very noticeable performance increase that was well worth the price and effort. Things only got better when I set it to 7.4v!

I'm running hitec 5645 servos in all my 1/8 scale stuff. With the cam style servo saver mod in my savage ss it's spot on.
