servo question

[Cork]

I'm setting up my wraith for u4 racing and want to upgrade my servo. Keeping an eye on expenses as well. Any suggestions on a good reliable servo for u4?

Solar Servo D772 High Voltage 0.17sec@7.4v 64g Digital Metal Gear

it runs acceptably at 6v
low cost.. decent life use for a throw away

The D772 runs at it's full potential when fed 7.4v

Sooo

either use a external bec set @ 7.4v
or use a decent esc that offers an internal bec at no less then 6v

My HH BR/XL's internal 6v bec seems to be enough.
tho' that will be circumvented in favor of using an external CCbec set at 7.4v

6v turns my 1/6 scale Wraith build acceptably

Thanks for the info. I think I need something a little more than throw away. I need something that can withstand u4 racing. I don't know if you would use the same servo that you would for a crawler.

Savox 1230, Hitec 7950 or 7980!

I like the Hitec 7954sh. It's 403oz/in at 7.4 volts for around $80 shipped on eBay. It has a really quick transit time also. .12 I believe.

I had bad luck with all kinds of plastic cased servos. Never stripped gears, I was splitting the front cases and breaking mounting ears off.

Switched to a savox 1283 with a full metal case and haven't had an issue since.

Had the Holmes servo been out when I was in the market I would have gone that route. Protek 170t is also well respected, although closer to $200.

I use the 7990th and its held up pretty good. I've landed on the front hard enough to bresk an aluminum servo are and didn't mess up the servo.

Savox 1230, Best Bang for your buck ! (500 0z/in baby) !

I did the 1283. I cracked 5 cases and had 3 gear sets fail in every other nice servo I tried. Goggle the 1283 and look at the gear setup. It's big compared. I even had a guy that "hates with a passion savox" now running the 1283 in his fast rigs bc of the strength.

Thanks for all the input!

+1 on the Savox 1283SG. Graduated from the 1256TG in my 1/8 stuff to the 1283SG and never looked back. So naturally I put one in my Wraith as well
