So i think my servo went out today. All it does when i turn to the right is humm and i hear kind of a grinding sound coming from the servo. the quetion is, What kind of servo is good? Will the aftermarket servo bolt right on? will the new servo wires fit right into my electronics? My stock one sucks a$$. fill me in fellas,

You can go with a Hitec 645.. you will have to purchase an axial servo plate....easy bolt on... would also rec. buying a BEC from Castle...

Buy a HiTec 645 and just make a mount yourself...search here and youll find tons of info on it. You can replace it with the stocker or the HiTec 225 which is a direct bolt on but youll end up turning them into a pile of worthless plastic again in no time.

Get the Hyperion HP-DS16FMD or Hp-DS16FCD there both a direct fit and plug right in. The FMD is metal the FCD is Plastic.

I picked up a Hitec HS-5245MG. It drops right in, just had to drill out the hole on the aluminum servo horn to fit a 3mm screw and away I went. Sure it's not a big power house but this thing Losi rig is a light weight rig.

645hitech.... you won't regret it

in my past mini's I had issues blowing the small size servos. It seemed smart to just upgrade to a large 1/10th and cheaper too. As everyone mentioned a 645mg did the trick. If your worried about making a mount we did that for you too. Either option will work, just don't go back to the stock servo to save yourself the headache.
