Default Turnigy Coreless 959

Picked up this SWEET looking servo last week and but yet to install it. quick run down
spec wise looks decent..

Modulation:
Digital
Torque:
4.8V:166.0 oz-in (11.95 kg-cm)
6.0V:200.0 oz-in (14.40 kg-cm)
Speed:
4.8V:0.20 sec/60°
Weight:
2.65 oz (75.0 g)
Length:
1.58 in (40.2 mm)
Width:
0.79 in (20.1 mm)
Height:
1.45 in (36.8 mm)
Motor Type:
Coreless
Gear Type:
Metal
Rotation/Support:
Dual Bearings






Wondering if any other members are running them or have in the past, and if they have had any issues I should be aware of!?

Plan is for it to go into the 2.2. I seem to be destroying the cheaper Tower 959's(siezing? burning out motors?) so figured this would make a reasonable replacement.
Main question I have.. should I run some kind of servo saver?! or am I just going to be wasting turning strength!?



If it all turns sour and it turns into another dud.. least it will make a Wicked looking paper weight

TIA.

Or at least an awesome servo case with which to rebuild other parts in! Been wondering about it. Keep us updated

Nice man, I'm going to have to check on out. I have been burning up the Tower Pro's as well! I've gone through 4 of them in my 1/8 buggy (electric) this season and in every one of them the gears were stripped.

I don't mind running cheap china servos but I've gotten to the point where I see the value in buying a $100 servo. I do want to try one of these Turnigy servo's though.

How much was it?

I never tried one of these, so I don't know.

1-It looks cool
2-Having 200oz @ 6VDC is too low in my book for a 2.2 rig.....I would do a HiTec 7955TG at a minimum.

Even for cheap servos, killing a few of them, plus crawling time lost, adds up quick to getting a single better servo to start with.
