Looking to upgrade my steering servo for my SC10 from the RTR one it came with.
I purchased a Futaba 4px and am looking for a servo to match. Suggestions? But it does have to be from Tower as I have a bunch of cash from there.

If you have a big "bunch" of tower credit and really want a servo to match that level of radio: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&P=9&I=LXENCF
If you want to spend a little less: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXTCX9&P=ML or http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXFCBD&P=7 or a little less still: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCLRW&P=7
I'm not really confident/sure enough in what Tower sells in terms of anything cheaper than those to give a cheaper recommendation.

You bought a nice quality radio, do the same with your servos. The XP is a SOLID product. I've used them in all my 1/10 stuff and in my 1/8 scale on 6.6v Life without issue. I'll be the first to admit that it sucks to spend big money on servos but it pays off in the end. A high quality servo will out last several vehicles over its lifetime. I honestly replace ESC's, because of upgrades, more than I do servos. I have XP servos that I've been using for 5+ years without issue. I don't have an ESC that's more than 2 years old
FYI, the Reedy servo would be fine as well
