Has anynoe had any issues with these servos on steering in a buggy? Im looking at new servos and these look good for the price 90 bucks each.

I have been running them for a bit. So far they have been awesome. It's alittle to early to say if I like them the same as Hitec. But if the durability and performance continue I will be buying them more in the future.

I have been running the same servo's for over one and a half year now and haven't had any issues so far. Savox is very popular in Holland, a lot of people use them.

Plenty of discussions here:

Savox Servos

Looks good...

havnt had a issue with savox servos...they are cheap, run reliably... what more can you ask for in this hobby???

The best ever I have used. Blew out 2 hitecs and seen more blown high dollar ones at the track we race at, it’s a real rutted track always hard on servos and I run aluminum clamp on servo arms. I have had only one issue with them and it was a brand new one in a buggy that was setting doing an idle run for brake in, it bunt up just sitting there.

Buy them you will not be disappointed

i only run savox servos,

the first one i bought is still running strong, 1256 (20Kgs) had it on my Ishima to play around and test the srvos since they were new to the scene, took it and put it in my MP9 for a full season and 2 international races, took it off and put it in my ST-RR and still running strong i damaged one savox servo, a 1258 and it was 110% my bad, had it for throttle/brake, after a pit stop, my pitman splashed fuel all over the car and i had no brakes, i bumped the EPA to 100% (normal 58%) and fried it after 3 minutes maybe. would have happened to any servo.

great servos.

Plus from what I understand if you buy it from a local hobby shop Savox will warranty the servo through the hobby shop so long as you bought it from that hobby shop and the hobby shop is signed up on the program.

This means that if one should fail all you have to do is take it back to where you bought it and they replace it with a brand new one on the spot so long as they have it in stock. You dont have to wait for the bad one to be sent out repaired and sent back.

Of course this all depends if you lhs is participating. I dont own any but if my 7955's ever fail (going on 2 years now) I would consider going with Savox just for the reason mentioned above.

anyone use or used the savox 1270tg high volt

What is the spline count on the Savox servos. thanks

25... Futaba

if you have any questions about the brand or would like to look for yourself go to www.savoxusa.com and they all the servos on the site. The 1267mg are high voltage, they just made some alterations to this servo which will make them much better for all applications.

I run 1256 on the steering and a 1258 on the throttle/brake.
The 1258 did quit on me, but that was my fault, I didn't use the rubber-bushing so the potentiometer gave up due to vibrations.
I ended up moving the gears from that 1258 to the 1256 to make the steering faster and bought a new 1258 to the throttle/brake.
I use Li-Fe 6,6V on these with no problem.

Hove ever, I would recommend sealing them up with some silicon and cleaning the gears from time to time, but I guess that depends on hove dusty it is where you drive.

I am using the hv servos and they seem great very responsive. I just out them in though so they need a little more track time.

Currently using the 1256 for steering and i am happy with them. Came from futaba bls servos. Compared to the futabas the savox are a bit nosier but works great.
