| Servo is on the outs, need help!
ok first of all ive only been into this hobby about 2 weeks so im about 2 noob it up with this question. Ive got a HSP 1/8scale crawler and my steering servo is starting to "bind up" (well i think thats the term for it). It sounds like the gearing are spinning but im not getting any wheels turning. I am assuming it is because the standard one just isnt strong enough and i need to upgrade, which i am willing to do. I would just like some advice from u nice people first as too what i should buy before i walk into a hobby store or order something online and be completely dissapointed! I am not into the most extreme thing out there i just want a good, strong servo that will last me a while. Thanks in advance |

Hobbyco cs170 is a rebranded hitec with 333 oz tq. After that any name brand (hitec, JR, Futaba) with steel gears and 300+ oz. tq. will do the trick.

you could always go with the hitech 645, good torque and speed, only about 30 bucks
