Steering Servo ??s

[4x4Ric]

Ok, I know this has been talked about, and Ive got a headache from reading lol
I need a steering servo, Im trying to stay under $100 if possible, but have plenty of torque/power for a crawler.
Wondering if this one would be good: HS-7965MG Servo

Id like to get all metal gears for that price IF possible,
Thanks for any help

That servo is a bit weak. Check out a Savox SA1230SG

That servo would be terrible. You want titanium gears and 300+oz of torque. 7954, 7955, 7950 etc.

Thanks for the replies guys, Im trying to stay UNDER $100

I'm running the savox 1231SG's on my wraith axles. 444oz/in at 6v turns the tires very easy. Usually $74.99 shipped on eBay. They are digital and are a bit noisy in a quiet room.

I'm looking at buying a savox 0231mg. It's still a 208oz servo and it's waterproof! And only $43 on ebay

Savox SA1230SG, Mine has not skipped a beat

$75.00

You said $100, but the Hitec 7950 is on eBay right now for $109. It's well worth it.

Another option is a Solar D772. It did very well in my bench testing of it. Mine will be handling the rear steer of my wraith.

No, I have that servo and don't like it at all. It's probably only about 200 in-oz of torque. The one I have is also pretty flakey. For a budget build it may be worth it, but I had no luck at all with it and had to drop money on another servo.

For rear steer it should be ok, but for primary front steer it is not adequate in my opinion.

that's cool, I didn't even think of ebay

I've always run this servo. Right at $100 and over 400 oz on 7.4v. Still over 330 at 6.0V.

Trying to save money always costs you money in the long run.

That's why both of our posts had under $100 options.

Id normally agree with ya, but being on a limited budget, I have to find ways to make it happen..
Called The Crawl Space, and we got some ideas to get me rolling again.
but man, I need MORE MONEY lol

This hobby is so damn addictive, I love/hate it

So wait 1-2 weeks and BAM! You have the $$$ for a real servo!!

I could go on and on..... Would anyone listen?

I've only been doing this for how long?

A stock Honcho works fine!

Be aware that savox's torque numbers are hold numbers, not stall numbers

Don't matter to me, so far they turn my 2.2's very easy.
