I've seen those fail as well but go with what you want. Your money not mine.

ive had the same result with 2 out 3 savox servos i have had. the 3rd one i used twice, once on steering on buggy and once on throttle on truggy (1268), sold it after second use due to having 2 others go bad, well one died completely and other will not find center and is so hard to drive. im sticking with my Futaba S9157 and BLS351 combo. did get Hobbico CS-170 (just rebadge hitec 7955) for the losi, they were cheaper and have Hitec quality and longevity.

but like others said, other people have great results with them with zero issues. i had issues and i dont know why when i havent had a issue with any other servo ive used.

I have tried them all, none are perfect, if they made things to last forever, and everybody bought them, then, what good would it be for the business? There will always be something newer and better. The average RC guy stay into the hobby less than one and a half years.

Be patient for your return call from Savox, it was a day or so after I emailed them before they responded, there a business, like others, they will get back to you.

Default Lio low voltage cut off in starter boxes.

Ok so I have Lipos in my starter box now and would really like to install a low voltage alarm or cut off.
I have searched here and have found a few threads But not really helpfull as most of the replies are "you dont need one".
But I want one just for insurance and would like some idea how its done.
Has anyone here got a pic or guide as to how any info would be much apreciatd.

I runa low voltage buzzer. I know alot of guys who went threw a few lipos before getting one. I often forget to unplug my battery and get a call while i am at work from the GF saying my damn blue box is beeping again.

Here is one on the Bay. $4 shipped is dirt cheep insurance on your battery.

It just plugs right into the ballance port on your battery.
