Those servo's are bad to wear out quick and get "gitters"

You can get the upgraded version of those,with a little more power and support a vendor that helps support us.....rather than a strange chinamen....JP Customs

I've had some of these for about 2 years now, and they are still going strong. I have yet to break one. Not the best for a comp crawler, but they work great in my scalers.

A better option is the Hobbico Ti geared ones at Tower Hobbies for 89 bucks. Same specs as the Hitec but 40 bucks cheaper.

Same here. I've been running them on different rigs for a couple of years with little problems. You just need to set your steering up so there isn;t any binding. The problems they have it the Top part of the Gear case wears out fast sometimes.

Yup, the Hobbico CS-170's are killer!

Exact same thing as a Hitec 5955
