| Servo Suggestions?
I am looking to finally plunk down the $$ for a decent servo. My rig is a WK axled, Axial chasis & transmission basher. I am running the stock WK radio/receiver and ESC with a 3300 mah split pack battery. I have killed several 150 oz- 230 oz servos. Any suggestions on a 400 oz + servo in the $100-$140 range? One that will last me for awhile. Thanks, Ryan |

I just put in a JR8711 a couple weeks ago and it is pretty sweet. http://www.jrradios.com/Products/Def...rodID=JRPS8711 It can shove your rig around like a ragdoll so make sure you have some beefy knuckles and c's to handle whatever high torque model you decide on. |

Whichever servo you do buy be extremely careful running it with the stock radio. I have the feeling you are killing them because you cant set endpoints with that radio!! That will burn them up in a heartbeat!! I run the Jr 8711 and a HV JR8711. Love em. But i wouldnt even think of running them on a system i couldnt set endpoints. |

You are killing me, now I need to upgrade my radio before I buy the servo? This hobby keeps getting more & more exspensive. So now I guess I have to rethink the stages in which I am going to upgrade this 'toy'. My wife is going to kill me. Quote:

Better to do it that way than burn up a 150 to 200 dollar servo!! My wife just rolls her eyes at me when i start talking rc. ( Or big nerd language as she calls it) | |
