For 2wd the Savox 1258 works well.

I've been running JX Servos in both my 1/8 Truggy and Buggy classes and they've been doing really well for me at the club level with an occasional win over the past 7+ months I've been racing with them. I swear by their brushless servos, more info here:
JX servos are legit! - Electric Motors, ESCs, batteries, etc. @ URC Forums

You can probably cut some corners and go with a coreless, but if it doesn't say coreless or brushless on the side of the metal case, then I would stay away from the $13 servos.

I've been using a Savox 1267SG and like it, although it's probably a bit overkill for 2wd

I have yet to find a better price/specs servo then this one. Its the same company that makes the trackstar ones. 60$ gets you some amazing specs. Like .07sec/60deg and 344OZ of torque. Also waterproof. Been working flawlessly in my ERevo for several months. Might be a bit overkill for your application, but can always use it in a bigger/4wd rig if you get one.

+2....I use this servo in my '17 Xray XB4 as well as my TLR SCTE 2.0. Awesome servo for the money....same speed and more torque than the 1258 Savox plus without the hum...lol...

The real question is how much are you willing to spend. There's plenty of good brands out there with good high-quality gears and good response times with a good amount of torque. It really just comes down to how much you want to spend.

I've had good luck with Power Hd BLS-1108 in 2 2wd sc trucks without any problems. Sometimes you can find them at wiseguyshobbies on ebay for less than $40. Brushless with titanium gears & .08 with 152oz at 6v. They take a futaba 25t horn. Not waterproof though.

Bump. Looking at a new servo for my sct.$70-$90
ty to the masses.

Holy Necro-bump, that's got to be a record... 6 year old post, ha!

Per my recommendation from post #17 above, that servo remains my personal favorite within that price range, updated link here:

replacement gears here where JX is the OEM for EcoBoost servos:

It helps a bit if you can show us what you have found to choose from...
Beside that, is it an 1/5, 1/8 or an 1/10 model SCT?

Good question. I run 2wd mod. 10.5t team ae 6.4
I was using a Amazon metal red box ebay special 20kg.
Got a protek100ss out of the used box at the shop. Currently using that. Need more better or one I won't break.
in 6 yrs the same rec. I'll look into that. Ty

So prefer you want a low profile servo. The Savox 1251 is a wel used servo.Most Sanwa users like to run a Sanwa servo due the SSR speed, so if you are running a Sanwa then an SSR compatible servo is a better choice..

I run futaba

I run Sanwa PGS-LH II in nearly all my 1/10 including one TLR 22SCT 5.0 (Vision Racing Carbon Fiber Chassis Conversion). The other TLR 22SCT 5.0 has the ProPerformance XTS600-HT. I had switched out a full size Sanwa PGS-XB II for the XTS600-HT. Didn’t need the torque on paper and preferred quicker servo for turf/carpet. The PGS-XB II is being saved for a future 1/8 eBuggy

I've grown to demand solid aluminum case servos as a basic requirement and have been burned too many times with plastic tabs failing on me, nothing worse than having intermittent steering issues only to discover a failed tab after a wreck :(

If I were to buy a low profile servo for myself today I would go with SRT, they offer a 1 year warranty too!
