Need a cheap steering servo mg996r?

[Joat]

Friend needs a cheap steering servo , I have kinda been out of the scene, so is there a servo like the mg996r thats the newest and greatest for the price?

[Charlie-III]

What rig? If a crawler, what is it? 1.9, 2.2, Super, Scaler?

Or, non-crawler, like a buggy or SC truck.

I would think he would want a fast response time, this is rated at .20

YEP right there. Ive always run these on all my rigs, they say HV but heard of them burning up on 7.4 or more. I run all mine from a BEC set @ 7.0v even.

be careful welding next to them though

they have an aluminum casing, rubber seals around the case and output shaft, are waterproof and have butloads of torque at 7 volts.
also they costs about 20-25 bucks shipped.

and being slow they are nice for scalers, i know i dont want a zippy servo, its just not scale!!

did i sell you yet?

So then this servo is a good buy? Something you'd put on a MRC? Wraith?

[squatch71]

have one on the kids slash 4wd with a summit tranny..crawls and speed.

have one on both of the wifes scalers, TLT and MRC foundation

and have one for a back up.

good servo for price.

I run the Solar on my MRC but I do not comp it.

I run Hitec on my comp rigs.

[Sh0rtBus]

My MRC isn't exactly for comps, as I'm pretty sure the comp scene around here is dead. But I do want it to be plenty capable, which it definitley seems to be with the Low Pro chassis and other mods I've done. Currently rocking a 625MG for steering duty, but was considering something with a bit more oomph, as my front wheels are fairly heavy. Saw a 7955TG in the classifieds for $65, but haven't gotten a response from the seller, so was just looking at other options.

What would you do? Solar D772 for $20-$25 or Hitec 7955TG for $65? Also worth noting...I'm a proponent of fix it right the first time.

[johnnyh66]

well, like I said... I run the Solar in my non comp MRC and it works great.
I run Hitec 7950's ($150) in my comp trucks... and they work great.

[Justynkace]

I have the solar servo in my rig and it works great. I also have the low profile version in my Touring Car and I race with it, and it has not let me down yet.

If you want cheap but worth owning... HiTec HS645MG
