cheap meaning not worth a crap??? I can sell you one for 5 bucks...will glitch like a mutha...perfect for what you want...


Ohh you mean one that will last you a long time?? Hitec is a good start. Heres a good one to start with...soon there might be more to follow...unless they all think you should do some searching....

wholy crap dude...where in my post did I say that a high price servo was the best. And where in your first post did you say that you just burned up a hitec. Maybe next time be more clear. You just asked for a cheap servo.....

Default servo on the cheap

In case nobody else has said, Towerpro MG995 servo is very inexpensive, will get the job you want done. It has 208 oz torque, for less than $20. Check out hobbyparts.com
Hope this helps.

I wonder if this plastic case will hold? Anybody had tried this? Not bad for 2 servos for 17 bucks.

I understand dude....no worries

BUT, I would be weary of a 15 dollar servo...is it worth trying..sure you bet...would I...I think so...for 15 bucks, why not...anyone know if they are waterproof?!?!

These servos are NOT rebadged TowerPro MG995s. These have more torque, faster response times, and are less prone to jitter than the MG995 is.

They are closer to the MG946R, but still not exactly the same.

I'm using a Crawford servo in my SCX10 running 2.2 DNA wheels and a Handbros steering kit. Went crawling around today and thought for sure that I would smoke the servo a couple of times but it held up great.

are these servos digital or analog? seems like they'd be good for running in a cc01/scx10/random 1.9 scaler.

I would stay away from them. i have tried them two different times. all four lasted from 30min to one month tops. the gears go quick and in no time they start to twitch since it cant stay centered once the gears start to wear. you are better off with a lower powered Hitec645. it will last much much longer and the power diff is almost unseen, i don't know how they tested that other to 200oz. the hitec seams stronger in the hold.
