i use both, 2 x 7955 in my practice buggy & 1267-1268 in my race buggy, i like the fact that the savox have steel gears as opposed to ti coated alloy of the hi-tec. i use 1450mah LiFe & the power drain is very similar from both. the steel gears won me over for the race buggy as it's one less point of failure, & the 1267-1268 are lipo safe as well.
