Steering servos
 

Looking to upgrade my steering servo for my SC10 from the RTR one it came with.

I purchased a Futaba 4px and am looking for a servo to match. Suggestions? But it does have to be from Tower as I have a bunch of cash from there.

If you have a big "bunch" of tower credit and really want a servo to match that level of radio: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&P=9&I=LXENCF
If you want to spend a little less: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXTCX9&P=ML or http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXFCBD&P=7 or a little less still: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCLRW&P=7
I'm not really confident/sure enough in what Tower sells in terms of anything cheaper than those to give a cheaper recommendation.

$40. willing to put some with it. Just lost in the world of servos. Everything looks the same.

Thanks for the advice.

Forgive me for being dumb, but what's the difference between those two besides a bit of tourque

The Reedy servo is newer and if you were to ever run Nitro, can handle a higher input voltage. The XP is a very proven design but otherwise, flip a coin.

You bought a nice quality radio, do the same with your servos. The XP is a SOLID product. I've used them in all my 1/10 stuff and in my 1/8 scale on 6.6v Life without issue. I'll be the first to admit that it sucks to spend big money on servos but it pays off in the end. A high quality servo will out last several vehicles over its lifetime. I honestly replace ESC's, because of upgrades, more than I do servos. I have XP servos that I've been using for 5+ years without issue. I don't have an ESC that's more than 2 years old;)

FYI, the Reedy servo would be fine as well:nod:

All IMO;)

The Reedy RT1508 says Input Voltage 6v to 7.4volt

The XP DS1015 says Input Voltage only 4.8v to 6v

You were a bit more specific, but Mark covered that.....

Yeah, I have a couple Futaba BLS servos that are years and years old and work fantastic - the only thing other than some tools in my box that are that old - servos are a get what you pay for proposition.

Thanks all!
