anyone have any suggustions on a good servo thats under $100?

JeremyH · 08-25-2010, 08:46 AM

The Hitec 7955TG can be found for about $100.

benoj · 08-25-2010, 09:35 AM

there is also the hitec 7954 for around $100 and there are rebadged 7955tg's like hobbico cs-170 and towerhobbies ts-170 which are about $90

CS-170, 333oz works great for under 100

version_three · 08-25-2010, 10:30 AM

I've been looking for the same thing for a while now... i gotta say, it's probably worth it to pony up an extra $20 or so and get the 7950th for 400+ oz/in @ 6v, and the ability to go 7.4v for even more if you want.

yjdavid · 08-25-2010, 12:31 PM

I have both the 7955 and the 7950, I'll say if you can spring the extra few bucks it's worth it for the 7950, but the 7955 is awesome too.

mrG · 08-25-2010, 01:05 PM

CS-170 is what i use and its under $100, does the job. But the other guys make a good point of spending another $20 and getting the hitec 7950.

I ordered a HS-7980TH yesterday for $130 shipped (new) it's a freakin brute.

Torque oz./in. @6.0V - 500, @7.4V - 611

It's a big servo for sure but I'm looking forward to making it work on a LCC.

I recently picked up a Savox 1268 Servo. Can do up to 7.4v @ 360 oz-in.

If your dead set at $100, the Hitec 7955 is a great servo. I run it on both of my Losi's and have zero complaints about it. If you can come up with another $20 or so, then I would go with the Hitec 7950.

You'll always want more, so get the strongest servo that you can afford.

BC-Brian · 08-26-2010, 06:41 AM

That is very true. You will always want more. I have some JR 8711's (and I love it, have never had any problems with any of the 3 I have), but I have been eyeballing the 600 oz-in.

yjdavid · 08-27-2010, 12:09 AM

I also run the 7980 on my super, and if you're really into power then this is the one. it is a beast in size though for moa applications

TheOther · 08-27-2010, 05:24 AM

7954SH
more torque as a 7950 and enough for a 2.2'' Rig.
The 7XXX or 79XX series are easy programmable
