The newer Wraiths are coming with a slightly better servo than before. So give it a shot for awhile and then buy the best servo you can afford at that time. Servos are normally a "you get what you pay for" item.

My advice (which I learned from this great site) was run it until it breaks then replace it...

However with that said, my stocker hasn't broken but I'm finding it weak so I'm replacing mine with a high torque Savox.

I'm with these guys...use the servo and upgrade the steering links

How is this servo for a wraith?

Painfully slow. Get the best you can afford, again, you get what you pay for.

Yes, they are pretty good especially for the money, but sometimes you get a dud. They will warranty it though. I run Hitec HS-7950TH in my Wraith and Honcho for interchangeability and durability, plus it's quite fast on 7.4 volts.

I use it in my scx10 and 2wd slash. I bought three. I wanted a spare. All three were good. But I do know about those duds once in a while. Just over 400oz of torque at 7.4 volts.

Solar is ok metal gear servo for $23 but the best route is Holmes Hobbies WP servo or like mentioned Hitec 7950!!! Both of these are huge torque & with cust service that backs them.

If you upgrade the servo, don't forget the BEC and the link to program it. like I said b4, if you're on a tight budget, upgrade the steering links first, they suck ! Upgrading the servo won't get you past this...do the links first

[cotyhamlett]

Hitec has 486oz. And Solar has 417oz And I like hitec. But I'm a Baller on a Budget. I paid $69 for 3.
