Savox 1257 is a good benchmark for stats, but what ever brand/price you like. I recently got a solar d771 while my savox was being sent for repair. It's stats are better than the savox 1257, but from experience I don't believe them. That said, for $20 shipped you can't beat it as a back up or cheap way to get into a buggy. Absolutely no complaints other than stats are exaggerated, more like .1 speed & 100oz tq (adequate, but not spectacular) than the .06/189 listed. So far, it stood up to 3wks in the buggy (2 race days & 3 practice days) w/ 0 problems even with the avid steering blocks which are supposed to be rough on servos. Now that I have my savox back it's going back in & the solar will stay a backup. for a pricier option, I recently put a radiopost red in my 1/8 ebug & am unbelievably happy with it. The radiopost blue would be incredible for a buggy, but it's almost double the price of the savox & over 5x the price of the solar.
Edit: I'm to long winded ^^^ he beat me to it.
