Please school me on servos

[Stealthshooter]

Hey guys

I'm needing some schooling on servos. I was wondering what the dif is between brushed,brushless and coreless? Which will be best for the steering on a super class crawler?

Thanks much

Hitec 7980. That is all you need to know.

That's funny because not 10 minutes ago narrowed it down to either the 7980 or the 7990. What I didn't know is if the Magnetic encoding was worth the extra $40?

I doubt you'll notice the difference on a crawler.

And yeah, Violator is right....7980s on a super.

7980 on a 2.2 Berg, 7980 on a wraith, anywhere I can squeeze them in. I have never been like " man I wish I did not have some much steering power." Just set the endpoints so you don't rip off the knuckles and your golden.

Or so you don't rip the servo out of the servo mount DAMHIKT

That thing is a BEAST! Mind where your fingers are when plugging the battery in or you'll be looking for a container to put your finger in on the way to the ER.

I've had good luck with Savox 1230SG's that are 500oz @ 6v. They are taller than a standard servo, but are half the price. I need to pick up a 7980 to give it a shot though.

Did I hear correctly that all the Hitec servos use a weird 2.something mm horn screw? Or is that only on the micros?
