|  Savox SA-1283SG Servo
Just installed one last night, set my CCBEC Pro at 6.0 volts. Servo works great & has a ton of torque. But it is loud as all get out. It is digital so I expected it to be loud when turning. But it has a constant buzzing noise unless it is 100% dead center. Which is not easy to obtain unless you lift the wheels off the ground. Is this normal  |

I will agree with epic fail that its just a trait of the Savox servos. I run them in all my race vehicles and they are very good and dependable.

Ok, thanks for the replys. I will stop worring about the servo noise. I have to say that so far I am loving the power of this Savox. I have always bought Hitec servos before this & was worried about switching brands & trying something new. Time will be the true test now  |

Most servos of "standard size" can run warm when worked, but should not feel "hot to the touch". | |

Is anyone running more than 6 volts to them. If they would take 8+ volts and live like a hitec I would be all over these.

I'm currenty running a Savox 1268 in my SCX with aluminum wheels and 1.9 Pit Bulls straight off of a 5000mah 2s battery. It is loud, and does run a little warm, but has performed flawlessly during the last two monthes. The output shaft is just as tight as the day it was new, and I probably have twenty or so hours on it, mostly rockcrawling. |

I just installed one of these last night and had the same concerns, It is a noisy little bugger, haven't really worked it up yet to notice a lot of heat. (I'm hoping the aluminum case can dissipate a lot of it.) Couldn't beat the price, so I jumped on it without reading any reviews. Thanks for the thread! |

About 30 packs through my Savox SA-1283SG so far, it's doing great. I am so happy with It I ordered another one last night for another build.

Yeah, 400+ ounces of torque for 130 bucks is not a bad deal- plus I'm hoping the aluminum case can take a little trail rash.

Been running one for about 4 months, little noisy and works great at 6v. And I found mine new for $79.00 |
