| Servo choice?
I searched and found nothing. What servo are you running? Full Size or Mini? Why did you choose your specific servo? Thanks

I have the Hitec 5645MG (its digital). 166oz torque @ 6V. Has worked great and it comes with a aluminum arm, just have to drill out the hole to take the stock ball stud.

I just installed the Hi Tech 5245MG Digi Mini (ran it today for the first time actually). It's great, way better than stock and I prefer the smaller size in my DMG tube frame, I think the full size servo would look funny in there.

im using a 645mg and it works ok i guess. ill probably eventually go with a 5955 or something similar....maybe a little overkill, but i like the extra power when its in a bind.

right now a 645mg becuase it was $30 and wouldn't strip out like the stock one. probably going to switch to a mg mini next though.

running a hobbico full-size servo...not sure which model but its equiv to a 645mg. the stock one is ok, but having a 645mg on a MRC is like having 400oz on a 2.2....its just so much nicer.

Hitec 645mg, works great on this little rig. I have even used one a 2.2 with good results (a little under powered on a 2.2 but didn't burn up or strip). I think anything more is overkill for this little rig.

I'm using a Hobbico "Super Torque BB MG" and it works great with my stock ESC, if found it in my spare parts box so I don't know where it came from or how much it costs. Remember you will need an aluminum servo horn or you will just strip out plastic ones.

I use the 645 because its much better than the stock, is fine to use with stock electronics, and I found its pretty easy to waterproof. And yes this is my losi mrc |

| I too am running a HS-654MG Hitec steering servo with good results. The stock one is just to weak & wimpy. |

I ve tried the mg225,mg5245 and the 645,the 225 aint much better then stock, the 5245 noticable improvement, burned out when I starting adding weight to the rolling stock, 645, makes fitting a batt on the front axle a tight fit, but can be done with a small 2s2p setup,but well worth it and cheaper then the 5245,also tried and true servo for crawling, If I was gonna go another route I would prob slap in a Toward pro mgr946 from JPcustoms, 180oz for $18 ,metal gear too, doing well in my cr01

| Cut up a piece of lexan and use the top two holes in the stock servo posts. Thats what I have for mine, think its 3/32" or an 1/8" and no flex at all...besides the steering linkage.
