| High torque servo
What is the best high torque servo out there for a 1/8 scale crawler that is reasonably priced?

Define "reasonably priced". Are you looking for a 1/10th scale servo or can you fit a 1/4 scale servo?? |

I have a Patriot(HobbyTown brand) 1/10th scale on my mini that's around 400oz.(if I remember correctly), that I got for around 70.00 for new. I haven't had any issues with it.

I've had great luck w/ a JR Z9100T that's 2.5 years old and still going strong, it wasn't exactly 'cheap', but the long service life I've gotten out of it makes it worth the $$.

Hitec 7955 on 7.4 puts out 403 ounces torque. Less than 100 bucks

I've been running the JR DS8711 in some of my crawlers and WOW!!! Nothing stops it. Yes it is pricey but well worth it in my opinion. As much money as I've put out on cheaper servos I could have had a few more of the better quality servo. It's been a year since I switched to the DS8711 and have had no problems.
