|  A few questions.
Whats up guys. Planing on buying an scx kit (regular) soon and with it a dx3e and an fxr/35t combo. The dx3e includes a servo (S200) and it is rated at about 100oz. In. At 6 volts. Would this be good enough or should i go for something a bit more powerful? (Traxxas 2075, hitec 645mg) any input or reccommendation is welcome. Thanks Mike. |

Better to go metal gear from the get go and avoid issues. The traxxas servos suck and either strip gears constantly, burn out, or both.

250 is overkill on a scaler, unless ur plannin on weighing it down with lots of tube work. Metal gears are always a plus , but that will get you by till buget allows a better one. Just dont add tomuch weight and dont try to move rocks with it.

The Hitec 645MG is hands down the best servo for the dollar.  |

You can never have servo with too much torque.... Buy the best servo you can afford  I run a Airtronics 94780M in my Hilux (423 Oz/In @ 6v) and a HiTec 7955TG (333 Oz/In @ 6v) in my Honcho... |

I agree with matt above. I have never put a servo too powerful in my scx. Having a servo with over 300oz of torque makes a huge difference in driveability. While something around 150oz will work fine, more is always better. |

So since ur on a budget ..................... Get the 645. Not disagreeing Matt, Im running the same servo you have on ur honcho on my SSS. Just he is on a budget so Im assuming the $110 is outa the question.

That's why I always say: "Buy the best you can afford"Tower Hobbies has a 333 Oz/In servo for $85 which is an alternative to "name brand" servos. I think it's actually made by HiTec, but I'm not sure... http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXPHD6&P=ML | |
