| I prefer the Hitec 7955. Its a great servo will cost you around $120 bucks has 333 inch oz of torque at 6 volts. You can find them cheaper around $100 and used for around 70 to 75. I prefer Hitec because their customer service is top notch. They will replace or fix your servo no questions asked. I know some people whose servos were not even under waranty and they got them fixed for free. The only down fall is that through the peak season during the summer their turn around is a little slow but usually not more than 2 or 3 weeks. Most of the time though its about 2 weeks. In the spring and fall and through the winter though it only takes about a week. Buy a good servo now. Don't buy a cheap one first. you will end up replacing it anyway. Just spend the extra money and get a good one. Also you can pick up a servo programmer for them for around 25 bucks that I highly recommend. You can set the voltage cutoff and end points as well as a lot of other things for their digital servos. |

| Hitech TG is probably best bet for your money, we have them at our shop for 109.99 I think, but same for the JR 9100T, the JR has bit more Torque. We've had good luck with both of them though. A good servo has a lot of Torque, at least for a rock crawler application. The more torque, the better the wheels turn when you're in a bind. For a good comp setup, you want more then 300 oz for sure. However, no servo is completely "bullet proof" and proper EPA (steering end point adjustments) are still required. So if your TX doesn't have EPA settings, upgrade that first or you'll very likely fry your new $100 servo. RTR radios generally don't have EPA settings. Good Luck |

| For $119.99 you could get a 423 Oz/Inch @ 6v. the Airtronics 94780. For the money it's the best performance you can get.  I have seen them going for $109.99. |

| The hobbico c170 is pretty much a rebranded 7955 for $90. The JR 8711 is a real 400+ for $140. I got a nice used 8711 for $65 and it put a big smile on my face |

| +1 on the Hobbico CS170, I have one in each my crawlers. at 333oz and $90, it is more than enough for my Berg and 16oz wheels, and doesn't need a seperate BEC. I do run dual speedos which does boost the current ability to the RX. Most of the JR's I've seen seem to develop a stutter after about 10 months, I've seen this on 3 seperate rigs. |
