My Hitec 5645 (a puny 164 oz/in) is doing an absolute fine job in my scx10. I never find my rig limited by it's torque, nor have I ever felt like it needed more in any instance. The need for such a torquey servo boils down to how heavy your rig/tires are and how mindless you plan to drive it.

I used to run a 5645, true you can run it. But get the wheels bound up. It frustrating. In one my scalers, I run hobbico CS170 brand new they around $89.

Absolutly amazing servo. Run this on my scx10 and as it's servo winch!

400 something oz of torque at 7.4 volts, so you have to get a bec to unlocks it's potential

Hey i like that. Whatcha guys think?

You get what you pay for as far as servos are concerned. I'd recommend a Hitec 7955, 7950 or 7980. Look for one used. The Hobbico 170 mentioned above is a good servo too. I have not had luck with cheap (crappy) Chinese servos.

Ussually in my case too.... But i run it in my honchos with mashers and it has plenty of torque., it's also waterproofed, i took it apart. Dipped the board, then dipped the whole servo. It's lasted well

[Lemonlegs28]

Hmph. Maybe for now, ill get myself the esc then get a new servo a bit down the road?

[Lemonlegs28]

Yeah im just going with the sidewinder hahaha thanks man. What do you use for a servo?

I have hitec 5645's in my mog, my sons honcho, and my wifes jeep scalee...had them all for over a uear now...and no issues at all with any of them...I also bought a solar d772 servo, figured for the price why not.. it's "ok". I dont believe it puts out the torque they say it does, and I have a bec....but the reason I took it off was because it was very loud and noisy..when just sitting still it drove me nuts...so it's in my backup parts box at the moment...

It does not have one, the puller has such string magnets and hard brushes, don't buy that crap
