i use a 2271 in my 1/8 buggy and the 6.0v bec works it fine.
it is so fast it looks fast watching it on my slo motion videos

Hey have you all ever experienced a servo just losing motor torque. I just bought a 2271 for my throttle, I installed it set the endpoints, went to the track to practice and the motor just lost torque. There are no stripped gears just the weak motor. I am running a sr3300t reciever and a lipo reciever pack

some times u can get glitching when your transmitter is too close to the reciever. if you try moving back from the car a bit and it still does it u need to make sure rx battery is a good battery and has enough charge in it to make sure.

if you have a fully charged battery and it is ok (not faulty battery) and you arnt too close and still does it then thats the last resort in being the servo at fault i guess.

hi just wanted to get some of you guys opinions on this i have tried the hv servos with lipo etc and also tried the 6 volt with the 1258 tg servo in my 1/8 buggies which seemed ok however the hv servos seem to draw alot of power and i am wanting runtime. im now using li-ion 7.2 v battery with regulator to get longer run time. and i like the fast steering response of the 6 volt 1258's and 1257's

im just wondering is the 1258 savox servo enough torque (12kg)for steering a 1/8 buggy or would i benefit from a higher torque steering servo? ive never really run a higher then 12-13 kg-cm torque servo in my steering.

whats you guys experiences with these. and did going higher torque give you more consistent steering? the thing is here if i go up in torque usually i lose speed and i dont like a servo i have used before in a hitec 5645 mg servo with speed of .18 seemed sluggish so i guess its a compromise of everything using 6v with li-ion for the run time. and a fast response of 0.08 with and be in mid range torque levels of 12 kg-cm with the 1258.

Installed sc-0251 yesterday and it fried my mamba max pro. Great servo for the money but was told by a castle tech you need an external bec.

I use a 1258 on steering, have done for 3 years and no problems, more than enough, especially with todays lightweight buggies. In a truggy it won't be enough.

Everyone uses the 1256 normally on steering, but I find that extremely slow in comparison to 1258, I mean there is a big difference between 0.08s and 0.15s! Try the new Brushless serves 227X? if you want high speed but even more torque.

Has anyone had to use the warranty program with a recent SAVOX servo? I ask because I sent off a servo to Hitec and one to SAVOX the same day two weeks ago for warranty repair and I received my Hitec back last week.

Joel and I have emailed beack and forth a couple times, but I am slightly concerned with how long it takes to get a resolution from them.

Thoughts?

From what I remeber, as it has been about 6 months, it took about a month to get mine back. I would say you are a week to 2 weeks out from getting it back unfortunately.

Hello, I'm looking to buy the SB-brushless servo savox 2271SG, this servant savox is good?

They say give servants savox problem, is this true?

Thanks for the help!

I have 2, and am very pleased with them so far.

This is what I put in my upgraded Losi 8T 2.0 RTR. For t/b & stearing 3 weeks ago. And So far I love them the Torque. Awesome in Stearing and the Breaking.

so ive been doing some reading and come to the conclusion that the SC-1258TG is the servo of choice for th/b in 8th nitro off road and all round for nitro onroad just would like to know is it up to the job for steering in nitro 1/8th buggy or should i just got the SC-1268SG witch will do both buggy and truggy cheers Ashton

PS
anyone run the SB-2271SG yet is it worth the extra paper its like double

I run a couple of the 2271s and REALLY like them. So fast on hi-voltage, and unbelievably strong. It's worth it to me. I usually spend more once. Then keep the parts for a looooong time though.

What size servo horn screw is used I have one thats almost striped out and need to replace it.

Well I have blown through my second 2271 in 3 months. First one quit working same day I bought it and the replacement servo Savox sent me stopped centering itself today

Looks like I am out a servo for another month while Savox tries to remedy the problem. Anone else having issues with the new HV line?
