Official Polish National Championship - my Tekno takes 3rd place. Tough weekend, bad weather, different conditions every hour - was a lot of fun! Fought hard, missed just a few seconds for the top spot.
I had no single issue for the whole season with this buggy. Amazing car.

Cheers, I ordered different servos that should fit.
But I had to use spacers with a standard height servo on the saver's side to fit it on top of the horn, I guess that's a fault of Savox servos, but there really isn't room for anything else but standard sized servos on these Tekno kits :
Thank you, ordered. Wish I've tried that before mangling one of the collars on a brand new servo (entirely my fault):
Wouldn't spacers solve that though ?

They have a lower profile than the arm you are showing. I'm also not familiar with the savox 1267...And also not a savox fan at all. I've been told the only good savox servo's the model number starts with a 2 not a 1.
I personally run this servo in both buggies & SCT for steering.

I use the 1267 currently in my SCT and it does fine, no issues with it being too tall or anything..
Savox 1267
Torque: @7.4v - 277.7 oz-in / 21 kg-cm
Speed: @7.4v - 0.09 sec/60°
Should be fine for the buggy too I would think...

I run the Savox 1268. Just make sure you also buy the servo lead extension. They are only a couple of bucks, but the servo lead isn't long enough.
The nice thing about the 1268 is I can run it in any car/truck. 10th or 8th. I don't have to have different stuff for nitro buggy, different for 10th, etc.

the hitecs are nice in that they have a really long servo lead, so it reaches the receiver box with length to spare. When I was running Tekno, I liked the Hitec 7955TG with a BEC set to 7.4V after Hitec said this was okay. worked Excellent.

Specs to look for, minimum 300oz of tq, and .10 second response, or better if you can swing it.
High Voltage servo's seem to be the norm these days, so be sure on what your BEC is capable of from your ESC,
I personally run the Highest dt2100 in both my buggies and SCT. It's right at 412oz and .07 second response.

If your budget is a little tighter, and you can definately run your BEC at 7.4v instead of 6v, then teh highest dt750 is a good budget minded option.

If you prefer savox, the 2273 below hits teh specs whether your running 6.0v or 7.4v

I'll throw in the ProTek servos. Detachable leads on some models with good power and speed. I also like the Spektrum servos. I have several older models that have never let me down. The new S6290 looks really nice.
I also have a HiTec 7950 in my Wraith, good company and quality servo. Not a good one for a buggy, but I would buy another HiTec based of my experience with it.

2274 is what Ty and Cav run. I would run them as well if I didn't already have my 1268. FWIW, they are almost the same exact specs.
Also I disagree that you want .10 speed of faster. I think that for the majority of the world, that only hurts you. Kinwald was famous for running high torque helicopter servos in his 2wd buggies for years. For me, anything faster than .13 is probably too fast and will likely cause me to drive more erratically. I suggest looking in that range, not to mention it will likely cost less to get something in that range.
ultimately it's preference, but I believe if you run something in the 300-400 oz torque with .13-.15 speed, you'll and up driving more consistent on the track.
