Questions?? Savox vs. Futaba vs. ASC Servos

Hey,

Sorry if a thread has already been started on buggy servos.

So I am looking to get a new servo for my 2WD buggy.

I have done some research and found what servos people run, my question is just what do you guys think will be best.

So for Savox it seems that the 1257TG is best for 2WD buggy, although I have heard of Savox servos being glitchy and having a lot of backlash or play in them. Is this true?

For ASC it seems the DS1015 is the most common servo. I like the simple looks of it and it matches the brand of buggy I am driving (B4, from ASC). Although it is slower than the Savox. What happens if you drive with a crazy fast servo like the Savox? It seems many Pro drivers use the DS1015 also.

Finally its the Futaba. I love my Futaba radio so I may consider a Futaba servo. I know that Maifield recently switched to Futaba? What servo is he running in his 2WD buggy? How are Futaba servos in general?

Right now I am just running a 645MG that I had laying around and it is VERY slow. It is hard to drive my buggy fast with such a slow servo.

Thanks for reading my huge post.
