Welcome back to the hobby!

I'm a local to Thornhill and currently race an E819RS as well, looking forward to running with you soon!

If you're not in a hurry to buy the servo, I would recommend visiting the track this weekend for RC Pro and see what some of the fast drivers are running. If you look for me (my name is on the back of my shirt, I'll be happy to introduce you to all the HB Team drivers, I typically sit in the center of the main pit room) I think all of us are running something different so you're going to get a very wide range of opinions and options to consider!

The majority of locals are running Savox, I don't know the specific model number but if you go into the shop at the track, they will get you the right one that most folks are using.

I am currently running an SRT 9032 in my eBuggy and have used this servo in the past, it's been a VERY stable servo for me.

I tried AGFrc servos and found out that they are the OEM where there are many rebrands who use them, more info here:


The Good, the Bad and the Ugly about AGFRC servos

In my eTruggy I am currently running a NitroPro CT2 servo and that servo is also a beast... note that NitroPro is a rebrand of AGFrc but NitroPro has upgraded all the flaws that I listed in the link I just referenced. Nitro Pro is a solid brand who stands behind their product with a solid warranty.

I recommend always having a spare servo because you never know when one will fail (regardless of brand) at the very least I would carry a replacement gear set. If you don't like the idea of carrying spare parts, then I would get the same Savox that most others are running at the track, I know the shop does a good job of keeping a bunch of those in stock.

See you at the track!
