savox servos, r they any good?? can u trust them, cauce i am looking at the 1258tg for my 1/8 buggy.

Don't ask Mark this question Sidney...LOL. I like mine, bought them 1 year old used and have had them 1 year myself. I use the 1267 and 1268 though. But I suck and never race so you can draw your own conclusions about them.

I wouldn't use the savox TG servos for steering. Throttle is ok, but the high impact life that a steering servo sees will munch those Savox Ti gears. I've gone through two very easily. The SG (steel gear) savox servos are much better for steering.

i have also found 1233sg. .07/180 @6.0v???? sounds good to me????

that sucks buying something that doesnt work!!!!but urs do good!!!! u just need to race more steve, and call me right now, i texted ur cell phone my house number.

I have the 1267sg and I love it so far. I've had it in my Losi SCTE for steering and its been in there for a full season of indoor racing and all this outdoor season and so far no issues with it at all.

I can't speak for the tg servos but
I looked on their website and can't help but notice that whenever they have a real high torque servo it's a steel gear not a titanium gear one. That was the reason I went with the steel gear.

i will stay away from the tg servos, and go with the sg.

I use the 1267 for throttle and 1268 for steering and never had a problem

I run the 2271 on my steering for my ve8 and my d8 all year run the 2270 for throttle on the gas car absolutely zero issues!!! And I practice twice a week and race two weekends a month every month.. Love my savox servos.

1268 and 1267 had them a full season with ZERO issues with lipo receiver pack!

THIS.

O yea lipo is a no brainer with these

The 1233sg is a tall servo so you will most likely have problems with it fitting in the car. I made the mistake and bought it not knowing it was tall, tried to install it in my truggy and was what its called, tall. Maybe you can use some spacers and long screws but that would make your linkage high and probably uneven.

I ran a Savox 1258 for a day. Only because I switched to HV servos and went with Hitec. The savox worked fine, and I haven't had problems with it but I've seen a few people have their Savox servos fail on them. Not saying they are bad, they are good servos with good specs, I only ran mine for a few minutes so I can't say anything about durability/lifetime.

your doing something wrong then... i use savox in all my cars, 1256tg and 1258tgs... NEVER EVER had one die or strip gears... first i've heard of one tripping gears...

i was just started to look at the size and ur right on the size.
