can't thank you guys enough for the help.
Alright, so i'll lock in the savox servos, 1258 & 1256..so that's done
This doesn't seem too important, but which of these 3 servo horns would best suit the 8ight-T? does it matter? because they are different lengths..

Now..to this engine
Would a B5 Pro be better still than a B6? because they are priced like B5 -> B6 -> B5 Pro
Now at this price range, would the Werks still be my best bet? How are they against say a Rossi P5XLT?

Sweet, i was wondering if they would work..i'll grab a couple..

I'm rapt I just found the 8ight-T locally for $650 as opposed to 700 everywhere else in Aus..

let's put it this way: they're good when they work but their endurance is poor.. never managed to make a savox servo last more than a year and a half.. it just never happened, and I tested MANY
as a side note we race in all weather conditions including 12 hours races so we put more stress to them than many would but trust me savox is "cheap" for a reason.. there are no good servos for that price IMO you need to put more $$$ to get something that will last.. the closest that is really good is ace and hitec.. if you have more money sanwa, futaba (especially the brushless ones) or even kopropo will last forever
savox are all about the specs: speed and torque but they aren't efficient at all they are noisy, less precise and much more power hungry than the other brands I mentioned
too many people go crazy about speed and torque but what REALLY matters is the precision and this is not given with numbers, compare a 1258tg to any futaba brushless available and you'll see what I mean
I don't think i'll be putting the servos through as much as you would though, not even close..i've been reading a lot of good on these servos, the only negative thing i've heard (until now) is the noise, but I don't see that as being an issue at all tbh.. i'll see how I go with these for now, then if they give out on me, even after a year, I can always upgrade, and the extra cost won't hurt as much..
