Default Option to DS1015 servo

I have one on order but apparently they are backordered until the end of January. What would be a good substitute from either Hitec or Savox ? I prefer not to use a BEC. Here is the setup it is going in

2wd SC
Tekin RS Gen2
4pls

Thanks

Honestly, unless you NEED it before then, it's worth the wait. But the Savox 1258 isn't bad. It's not the same specs but it works very well.

Why not just get a BLS451? Only slightly more than the DS1015 and they require less maintenance/last forever in comparison to a brushed servo... You don't need the extra torque for a 2wd.

I unfortunately need it now. Order a few days before Christmas then realized the backorder issue. I've owned the servo before and loved it, that's why it was my first choice. I have to look at other options now though.

The protek for 119 is very good and a great warranty.

Kind of locked in to Hitec, Savox, Futaba, Spektrum since this is what my LHS's have at the moment
