|  Steering servo upgrade
How's it going guys, nutternugz here. Got a quick question, getting ready to upgrade my servo and was wondering what all of your thoughts were on which way to go. Running a Nightcrawler, pretty stock. Only major mod so far was a motor swap to a traxxes Titan motor. ...And by the way had a great time at RCH last Friday, you guys are awesome to hang with and i learned a lot, looking forward to running my rig with you guys again. |

Hi Tec HS-7950 is the best in my opinion. They aren't cheap but they are awesome. Most of us here run them, but some run the JR8711's I just don't have any experience with them. |

X2 hitec 7950. You find them online for about $125 but a worth while investment  |

X3 on the Hitec HS7950 but remember once you get a big servo like that you need a BEC as well to power the monster. Plan on another 24.99 for a Castle BEC.....Just want to make sure you do it right the first time. |

If you don't mind paying full retail for the HiTec HS-7950 and a Castle BEC, look at a few of the local area stores. I purchased my HiTec HS-7950 and Castle BEC from Colpar Hobbies (west store location). They also programmed the BEC for 6.0 volts (increased from the stock 5.0 volts). |

True but even at 6 volts its got over 300 torque and will probably last longer since it won't be maxed out.

I wasn't sure at what voltage I should have it programmed. Since I run 7.4 volts (2S LiPO), I thought that was a good compromise. Even at 6.0 volts, it sure beats the 100 ounce of torque that my previous servo put out! |
