Servo Upgrade Question????
 
Steering Servo Upgrade

My question is simple even though there is not a simple answer.
Is there a middle of the road Servo Upgrade that is worth the investment over spending 100+ dollars. Im looking for something with decent torque, reliable, durable, possibly waterproof but not manditory since I can do that myself and not super costly. I know I can probably only get 2 of these so Ill go with torque and durable or reliable..... and not to expensive. I know thats three but Im hoping there is a middle ground here somewhere. Thanks for any help and or advice you all may have. Its greatly appreciated.

well it also depends on what rig your gonna put it in. are you running a scaler or a comp crawler. with a little more info im sure you can get a decent answer.

You might want to look at the savox line of servos, I have heard they are durable, somewhat inexpensive and reliable. The amount of torque you will get does depend on how much you spend but they have a variety of torque ratings.

You could also scan the classifieds for a used Hitec 7955 or 5955, I have seen them go for anywhere from 80-60 dollars"thumbsup" They have 333oz. Or torque at 6 volts which should be plenty for most rigs.

Just don't go too cheap on a servo as it will only cause problems and make you end up spending more in the end if you have to buy a new "cheap" servo every month or so.

Thanks for the help....
The Rig is a SCX10 Honcho Scaler. I wouldnt think I should need 300+ oz. Torque but I guess for the price, if I can find them that wouldnt be bad. Ill take a peek at some classifieds.
