Default Servo question

I'm going to put the rear steer kit on my axial crawler. Just wondering what servo I should get? I'm not looking for the best servo out there...something cheap (price wise) that will do a decent job.

Any suggestions?

A quality cheap servo is a Hitec 645MG. They work great for the price and are very consistent.

A Tower Pro is cheaper and also has a higher torque rating, but they are very hit or miss. You either get a good one and it lasts, or you get a crappy one that glitches, or slows down once it gets warm.

I would by the Hitec 645MG is you are looking to spend around $35 or so.

The search button is also located in the top right section of every section here on RCC. It works really well.

make sure you get one that is strong enough to keep the wheels centered. that is part of the reason i no longer have rear steer. it would allow the wheels to turn when i turned the front wheels and just go straight.or they would stay tuned and the rear would track sideways. i just ditched it, gonna get a dig instead
