Axial wraith good servos for $60 or under

[Hypergarage]

I'm looking for a decent servo for my wraith. Not looking to spend too much money... Maybe $60. Any suggestions?

Solar D 772 is about 23 bucks

I just ordered one of these:

Tower Pro Digital MG968 servo

Seemed like the best budget choice. There's a thread on it in the electronics forum.

Look at savox servos... great for the price. I use all hitech pricier but indestructible. I got a 4 year old I let bash and not a difference since I bought them

If it's not metal gears don't bother...

I use savox servos in my other truck and I love them. Would you recommend a certain savox servo?

I will 2nd this.

The 2 I own have taken a beating and haven't given me any issues. I know of someone else that has had great luck with them also. Their shipping is a little slow, but they can't be beat for the price.

I ran one for 1 week while I plasti-dipped my savox and the metals gears stripped out of it after a small drop after a small jump.. Never again...

I ran the early production Solar D772 servo...
and it worked and held up acceptably on my SCX-10.

But their current production run is no longer the same.
and for starters the center gear can be a failure upon delivery.
As the primary and cog gears are not compressed properly
and if they spin free of each other... the servo (steering) fails.

Is what happens when ya offer/sell an inexpensive servo
and try to produce it at even lower production costs

I personally will no longer purchase/run the D772's
as they are not what they used to be.

Better and more powerful and near the OP's budget
is...

the Savox SA 1230 SG @ $ 69.99 most everywhere.

monster 500 oz/in of torque @ 6v
^ and very close in performance to what is claimed by the mfg'r.

Many folk complain that the Savox 1230 is digital noisy (centering)...
but compared to my prior D772's... seems less so to me.

I would definitely run an external adjustable BEC
if choosing the Savox 1230 servo...
or any hi torque servo rated above 300 oz/in.
Obviously the voltage setting would be dependent
of what the servo's requirements are.

Here's a video showing my Savox 1230 SG at work
turning 5.80" tires on a 6th scale Wraith based platform...

I'm purdy happy with it...
so I purchased another for back up

Obviously I'm not hammering down and abusing things...
so if that's the intent... I can't say how durable it will be.

That's good to know then. I must not be hard enough on my rigs then since I bought these recently

I have one of those servos that is at least 10 years old and still going strong. Survived abuse in a few monster trucks and 1/8 buggies and now lives a relatively easy life in my SCX10.

I ran the D772's for acouple of minths... they just didn't seem to wanna do work turning the wraiths 2.2's. They also do very poor with weighted wheels

Savox 1230 ftw!

my daughter and i both run a savox 1231 sg in our wraiths. 69.99 USD 444/6.0v

Just depends what your doing, just crawling or trail/bashing around? For technical crawling with bigger tires and a heavier rig, you cant beat the savox 1230 for 70 bucks. But you will need a bec so thats another 20 bucks. For trail/bashing around the towerpro 968 should be enough (still get a bec). Im running the tower pro in my 2.2 losi which is 4.3 lbs and just technical crawling and while it does a good job (for now, putting my hitec 7950 back in), I can stall it out. I also run the tower pro in my yeti xl and it does very good and turns the huge tires no problem.
