You don't know until you've got one...

You don't know just how bad the stock servo on the Venture is until you get one. My son drove mine into a shoe in the house and it wrecked the servo... so much for that servo saver huh?

Most RTR rigs' servos suck; interestingly the Redcat Gen7's seems to be the best of the bunch. LOLZ

Anyway, I recommend the $12 JX 6221 20kg servo (normal or 180deg) from Banggood:

If you don't want to wait the ~2 weeks from China, you can buy them from the USA via eBay for $19.

I ended up throwing a similar servo in it that I found on Amazon for $20.

It's actually the third of that servo that I've bought so far. None of them have died yet so I'm pretty satisfied with them.

I know what you mean about the hexfly servos. My son's Everest 10 has one and it's surprising robust.

Mine was bad out of the box but I added a new servo when I placed the order hearing how bad they were.

Redcat, as mentioned above.

Mine was still working great when I replaced it, and never once was it unable to turn the tires on the trails.

Don't want to upset you,but redcat is a toy.For sure i will never ever have a redcat

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but they're all toys.

I agree on the stock servo. The TRX-4 servo had set a low water mark (125 oz-inch in a C2 truck compared to ~150 oz-in in Axial and Vaterra RTRs), but HPI managed to outdo them. 90 oz-in is laughable even in a C1.5 truck. But like others have said, it’s the first thing to replace anyway.

If you're earning money by playing with toys, then congratulations! Your criticism of the Gen7 still isn't valid. It's 95% the same as an SCX10. To consider a Gen7 a toy but somehow consider an SCX10 otherwise is foolish.
