Need help choosing a steering servo
 
Just got an xray xb2

I run a Futaba radio system. 4pls transmitter with
Futaba R204GF-E High Voltage 2.4GHz S-FHSS 4-Channel Micro Receive

I saw this Savox servo and like the price.

Concerned about the "brownout" thing they have in the description.

Anybody have experience with this combo?

I have never had any issues running savox servos with Futuba radio gear.

I'm not sure exactly which servo you're referring to(the link is not working, & using copy/paste just took me to the list of ALL Savox servos at A-Main). but I have two of them now, both in buggies(first one is this: https://www.amainhobbies.com/savox-s...1251mg/p183313 , & this is the other: https://www.amainhobbies.com/savox-s...1mg-be/p467063 ), & I've been very happy with them both so far, no brownouts at all(& I also use a 4PLS radio with the R204GF-E receiver, & Hobbywing V3.1 Stock Spec ESC's for both). If you're looking to save a little on servos, I'd give those two a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed....:cool:

xpert servos work awesome!

I use the Savox. For the price it is nice. I have also used a ProTek RC 100SS. Another cheap servo but it works. But for a little more I go with the Savox.

thank you guys.

I've been using Protek servos in my 2 buggies.... now I need another one for my dirt buggy. I've had good experience with the Protek ones but thinking of getting a Savox since I've seen a lot of happy consumers here. Does each Savox servo come with an aluminum servo horn? The Protek ones have it.

All the Savox servos I've purchased had the normal assortment of plastic horns.

The Savox brownout is fairly well documented. Spend a few more dollars and get a glitch buster/capacitor. Or you can build your own for a few dollars.

Protek 100SS
