check out towerpro 995mg, very cheap. Never had one myself, heard they are okay for the price.

209jeep · 02-03-2009, 11:36 PM

how well does it do

some87 · 02-03-2009, 11:38 PM

i got a few jr z650m's for like $15 each used off ebay. great servo for 1/10th i even used it for gas on my 1/8th. i just go with any jr servo that says torque and that has metal gears

yep, cant beat it for the cheap price... but thats only if you want to be cheap.

remember, with servos, you get what u pay for. a hitec 5955 or equivilant will last you a really long time.

209jeep · 02-03-2009, 11:43 PM

what about this one

your best bet is to get a new hitec. they are great servos and last for ever. even when they break hitec does a great job at fixing them. but get a servo thats fit for your rig. you dont need a servo thats pushing 300 oz. of torque for a 1.9 but you do for a super.

209jeep · 02-04-2009, 12:00 AM

well i have a clod with 40 series xl tires

some87 · 02-04-2009, 12:23 AM

lol ok then your going to need a good servo. i would say around 200 oz. would be good. i ran a 255 oz. in my 1/8 buggy and it had no problem

209jeep · 02-04-2009, 12:25 AM

ok so the 995mg would do just fine at 12k torque

Ryan33 · 02-04-2009, 12:44 AM

I'm sire it would work, but like the other guys said, you get what you pay for. From my experiance in the hobby, cheap stuff means buying good stuff later.

wether its a charger, radio, servo, whatever, if you plan on staying in the hobby you will eventually want good stuff so buy good off the bat and save yourself money in the long run.

209jeep · 02-04-2009, 12:51 AM

i will down the road but im on a budget i have $205 including what i paid for it

I have been using the Cirrus CS704MG servo on everything but my steering on my comp rig & have been very happy, 195 oz, metal gear. The only thing I have noticed is they do not like fm radios.

209jeep · 02-04-2009, 02:43 AM

and that would work on a rig like mine?

kyrel69 · 02-04-2009, 06:25 AM

I have had good luck with JR's You can get them on ebay for good deal.

209jeep · 02-04-2009, 09:40 PM

i use them cause im on a budget aswell, but i just ordered my last 2, im going to step up my servo next time around. I have went threw 4 of these this year and i got them for like $22 for 2 shipped. so if you dont mind changing servoes every couple months and allways have one for backup then these are the ones for you. they work as good as you cant get for a $11 servo.

209jeep · 02-04-2009, 11:47 PM

hey anything is better than the hpi sf-2 that was in there 90ozs lol weak

JamisonWorkshop · 02-05-2009, 09:39 AM

Hobbico CS150 200 oz. at $40.00 works fine. I fianlly broke the gears from a 3' drop face first on the front tires.
I use them in everything. I did just upgrade to the Hitec 5990 but I could have also bought 3 of the others for the same price.
