what torque steering servos do ya'll use and what brand. the feller at the lhs was trying to sell me a, JR 135 oz. i beleave it was, for 33 bucks is that a good deal?

BENDER · 08-23-2005, 11:34 AM

What rig are you going to use it on? That should be plenty for a TLT, but it's probably not enough for a Super Crawler (TXT, Clod, Maxx).

I run Hitec servos myself, 645mg's and 945mg's are popular.

mudbogginredneck · 08-23-2005, 11:37 AM

i'm gonna run it on a txt

chafey · 08-23-2005, 11:56 AM

not a bad servo for the money,but you would probably have to run a saver on it. if you want really torquey servos get tg's or 1/4 scale

Maxx4life · 08-23-2005, 02:11 PM

i use a hitec 645 mg servo with a kimbrough servo saver on my maxx crawler. it has pleny of torque, but i've heard if you run a servo horn on a 645 you will strip gears.

I run Hitec 645s on my clods and TLTs. The LHS sells them for ~$40 each. For the price They cannot be beat.

mudbogginredneck · 08-23-2005, 07:55 PM

ok thanks ya'll

The Blue Bird servos are very high quality considering how cheap they are. I just got their BMS-660 for my clod......200oz, heatsink case, metal gear, ball bearing. A cool feature is the see through case, so now you can check the gears without having to strip it down.

onefstsnake · 08-24-2005, 10:41 AM

Only the best.

yes 333 oz at 6.0V

You can run 7.2V as well through it for an amazing 416oz of torque.

I have a few, best servo Ive had by far!

TwistedXT · 08-24-2005, 01:19 PM

for for @ 50 buck you can run a 805BB

from Hitech with 383 Oz. of torque, but.. it doesnt come in that

pretty blue case

kwj48 · 08-24-2005, 02:47 PM

I've had 4 JR servos and they have all burned up. Plus my lhs won't warrenty them so I had to send them back to JR. I finally went with Hi-tec http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0001P?&I=LXNZ36 and they seem to be going strong so far.

onefstsnake · 08-24-2005, 02:57 PM

BTW the 5955 is not a 1/4th scale servo.

Arvin · 08-24-2005, 05:28 PM

5955's are the best servo's I have ever used. Well worth the money and time installing it.
