servo help you all decide

[wyomingcrawler]

going to get a new one was set on the hitec hs-7980th then saw it was not a stock fit then looking at the hs-7955tg then talking with my buddy who runs a savox sa-1230sg which has way more torque at 6 volts?????? now I'm not sure what to get he has been running it for well over a year in his R1 any opinions would be great

[sic1to]

HH $89.99 or Hitec 7950th $150 is best imo! Both have ti gears with tons of torque. Both stand behind there product! A good Budget(throw away/bash)servo at $23 Solar D772 metal gears & listed at 417oz 7.4v

The Savox has metal gears not titanium. I have owned couple 1230sg servos myself...no comparison to either listed above!!!

Hitec 7950 was my choice and i stand by it. It's a great servo and has destroyed two clamp on horns so far lol. Don't pay $150 for it though good lord I don't know where the last poster buys things. Right around $130 at RPP and can use $10 off coupon.

I couldn't keep 1230 front cases together. I switched the the 1283 (?) with an all metal case and problem solved.

The HH servo is stronger and cheaper, with a metal case. Had it been out when I needed one, I would have gone that way.

I'm going to try one of the $23.00 solar servos just to see what they are about. I'm not expecting it to be as precise as a $150.00 servo

I bought it 3yrs ago(still working like new)so ya know! & I purchased it out of town on the spot to run next event from "Hobbyclown"...no other choice!

The Solar D772 is a great servo for $23 running 2 now & still doin well!

A lesser servo can destroy clamp on horns because they don't hold well.

Another vote for the Solar D772.

HH it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great customer support bad to the ****in bone motors and i need a new esc that I'm getting there anyhow thanks for the input

[Perkolator]

just remember that if you switch to the solar and are used to a hitec servo, you're going to need different spline count servo horns. needed to install one from my trail spares, but damn if i didn't have the correct arm to run it! 24t vs 23t

I've been through 3 solar D772's.... they last for a while but one of the press fit (gear inside of a gear) gets loose and just spins. So now i've got 3 sitting here worthless...I tried brazing them and soldering them back together. No luck.

I was running 2.2 bfg's on 2S w/BEC for all 3.

Is the Holmes Hobbies servo capable of 3S? It states 2S (8.4v max) on the site.

[lala4fire]

you're right, the bec will handle the voltage flow to the servo (I guess they're stating for worst case - no BEC scenario).

I thought the barn floor was gone.

Hobby king hxt10kg for 9 bucks running on 3s for budget servo. Turnigy also has some new track star labeled servos in the 300 Oz tourge range.

I run a savox 1268 bought it for 90 size helicopter it found a home on crawler. Love it and super tough.though I did split the case cart heeling done the street on 6s. 5 bucks replaced the case.
