|  Servos?
Ok, I have 3 servos I'm looking at and want some opinions. #1) Hitec HS5645MG #2) Hitec HS645MG #3) Futaba S3305 Whta do you guys recomend? Or is there another that you prefer that's not listed? They are gonna be used in a (Super) Clodbuster and I want to be able to turn my wheels right NOW! Not turn a little and then when I start to move they turn the rest of the way, I hate not being able to turn. So please give me some sugestions. I was also looking at them spendy $114+ servos but don't realy want to spend that much unless I realy have to. T.I.A. |

The 5645 lasts a couple of runs in the rear of my clod, plenty of power, the 645 one run, not much power, again in the rear, the futablo, i don't think would be much better than a 645. I would recomend a Hitec 5955! Or a airtrontics 94359Z, both awesome servos!

You could always look at the Tower Pro servos. They've worked really well for a lot of people, plus they're cheap. There's a few threads about them here.

All three Twin crawlers out in the shop have a 359's on each axle. VERY nice servo IMHO. 645's are for Hot Wheels  |

Hitec= http://www.hitecrcd.com/homepage/product_fs.htm Airtronics= http://www.airtronics.net/ATX_servos.htm I have had one of my 5955's for over a year now, still strong, no problems! And i beat it hard! I just got the airtronics and so far it is awesome! Seems to draw less power because it is analog. And yes, they are both ALOT better than what u listed for a super! |

I will say this, i see alot of guys using 5645's, 645's, 945's, and 985's and they seem to work well, i have a 985 in my beater crawler , and it works well, I was just giving input of what i like the best!If u get either a 5645 or a 645 plan on rebuilding it often! |

Quick shipping and freindly to deal with. As far as I know the only difference between the 358 and 359 is that the 359 has the heat sink built in while the 358 doesn't. Both are 200 oz.,an extra $5 is worth it if it'll help the servo live longer. I've been beating my 359's(turning Kong sized LST's and Moab XL's)for probly close to a year and they are still like new. Kongs are a little much for them honestly,they still work decent with them though. They turn Moab XL's pretty darn easy. Last edited by Reflection; 10-20-2006 at 10:48 PM. | |

well I forked out the $$$ and went with 2 5955TG's. I seen all these hong kong specials but still don't think I would have been satisfied with them either. So now I just have to wait for them.

I would go at least 1.25-1.5, mine are 1.5 i believe, a little to much but if i ever need long ones i got 'em! They come threaded for standard but i tapped them out to metric.
