Hitec HS-646WP

[CiLyX]

Is this servo fully water proof? Does it need a Bec with the Holmes hobby esc?
Is it worth the 37 dollars I'm going to pay for it?
Cheers Leigh

Dunno,
Yes,
And probably not

What kind of application is it going to be used in?

Edit: looked it up says its it's waterproof and if it does fail hitec usually has decent customer service, but it only offers 133 oz of torque @6v and you would need a bec for that. I would think in most crawling applications you will need a higher torque servo. If you're on a budget try this its a great little servo and almost 100oz more torque for 2 bucks

In my honcho with 2.2 pitbulls and widners. Stock will hardly turn it so I'm upgrading

[CiLyX]

It's either that or a 7955, and go all out lol

[boosted4lyf]

You're gonna want something with ATLEAST 300oz of torque

[CiLyX]

7955 it is! And that will defiantly need a Bec?

I like hitec but have never had an issue with Savox and you can get this
For 75 $ 500oz of tq!

Yes you will definetly need a bec and a castle link, or access to one so you can program it to 6v

[CiLyX]

I have both already from my XL2 so il just use that. Think I will go for the 7955 it's 24kg servo that Savox is 14kg and that water proof hitec is only 11

I run a hitec 646wp on a honcho with 1.9 boggers(no wieght) and a cc bec @7.2v. It's been in the river more than I can say and the servo is definatly waterproof, and no it's not a torque monster but it does work very well in a modest trail truck.
