Default Savox 2290sg redcat Gen 8

I'm interested in getting a 2290sg savox servo due to the overall overkill of torque and build quality. I've got a castle creations 20 amp bec to power it...

My concern is how much stuff am I gonna mess up using this servo? Will I snap and bend steering components left and right?

As long as you set your end points properly you'll be fine.

I'm sure part of it depends how you use it too.

I wouldn't worry about it, I have a half dozen powerful servos and have never broken a thing. As mentioned above set the end points and you should be good to go.

Sheesh, thats not even the SHV500?
Must be something else going on or maybe they are axial rod ends?

Breaking end links when you other wise could have stripped a servo gear seems good to me.

The only potential issue I can see is how the front of the gen 8 is setup and if that behemoth of a servo would flex the actual servo mount and cause damage. That's a question I can't answer but something I would most certainly keep an eye on and try and somehow brace.

The mount shouldn't be an issue, its nowhere near as flimsy as an SXC10.2 mount.

I have an SSD link kit which uses 4mm rod ends so Im limited to Traxxas ones and hard to find RPM ones.
