I've been reading and hearing great things about the Savox servos, but I have to say that my Hi Tec 5955TG and 7955TG servos never let me down...ever.

I've had a Hitec 7954SH in my AX-10 for over a year of superb performance running straight off of a 2s Lipo. Paid about a hundred bucks, and it has been worth every penny. Mud, snow, massive rock fields, and this thing never misses a beat. I've also had great luck with a Savox 1258 in my Blitz, it is super fast and very precise. I would trust a Savox servo any day. |

Thank guys, I did some searchin on here and found a thread on the turnigy servo so I thought I'd link it up. Turnigy or MKS HV-767 Servo? Anyone tried? Sounds like the 30 bucks you save would be better spent on a hitech. |

the 7954SH is a solid servo it is great for the money, I also found mine for about $80 shipped, I ran one in my sportsman AX10 up untill I sold it and I kept the servo for another build it's a great servo. I also ran one in my XR10 for a few months and only recently upgraded to a 7950, i'd defenatly go with a servo that is not turnigy, i've had good luck with hitec, and savox servo's are leaving a good impression too. in a crawler, I wouldn't even consider less then 300 oz-in, (unless its a scaler, then that much power really isn't needed, but i'd still probably go with a 7954) |

They are nothing special but the Savox 0251mg is a great servo. Especially for the price. They have no problem turning my 2.2 RC4WD rock crushers or tossing my overweight high lift around. Unless you really want the higher end servos you could get a 0251 and put the saved money towards something else.

I ran that on my wheely a few months ago. But at 7v it stripped the aluminium robitronic horn from all its teeth.  Also I had some glitchy thing that the servo tried to center so it was shaking all the time. Other than that a stong servo. | |
