Default suggest me a decent servo

Just got a chance to mess around with my ridgecrest after the new wheels and tires and the stock servo is struggling.

Its a bone stock electronics ridgecrest, running 2.2 rc4wd baja claws on tss robby gordon wheels. im running 4oz of weight in each front wheel too. Running 5000mah 2s lipos if that helps. The truck is mostly a trail runner that sees a small bit of crawling.

Could someone suggest me a decent servo in the 30-60$ range if thats even possible. Wouldnt mind spending more if it wasnt for my charger taking a crap 30min ago and having to buy a new one tomorrow.

Buy a take off charger from a twin hammers. If you can't find one in the for sale just post a wanted add, and maybe toss one in your local thread. sooo cheap.

You can find the Hitec HS-645MG for about $30.00. However, it isn't a very strong servo and might not last too long depending on where and how you drive.

The Hitec HS-7954SH would be a better servo but is in the $77 dollar range and you would need a BEC which is another 20 bucks.

Define decent.

I run a Futaba S3051HV and a CC 10 amp BEC. The servo runs fine at 7.4 volts, but really doesn't feel all that strong. It's $40 price tag is what got it the job.
