I'm in need of a steering servo for my axial ax10 build. I want a high torque and good quality one so I dont need to replace it anytime soon. so, I've been looking at these two. can you guys plz post your thoughts on each? the hitec is cheaper but the JR has a little more torque. also I've read somewhere that the hitec has a liftime replacement warranty. is this true? and does the JR have a warranty similar?

I'm a JR man myself, but thats just me. Both would probally do what you need for a long time, if setup right.

Both good choices, I run hitec servos.

Here is a better Hitec for the same price. HS-7950TH

I like the hitec stuff. They have always had great customer service too if any problems, no questions asked

I have the new hitec 7950 and love it. Best power for the money IMO

TCS has them in stock with super fast shipping

Go w/ the Hitec 7950 the most power for the best price! Servo city, free shipping $120

I've been running two JR 8711's on two different rigs for the past two years now and have not had one problem out of them!

I prefere the 645 hitec there reasonably priced, I just removed the jr out of the night crawler and a 645 for sale if your looking pm me.

Yes, the 645 is reasonably price, but thats because it is not in the same league as the two servo's he posted. The 645 has 133oz, where as the jr 8711 is 403oz and the hitec 7955 is 333oz. Huge different!!

I run the Hitec 7950 and am very pleased with it.

If you buy a good HIGH torque servo, you wont have to really think about it any more. You will be wondering if it was worth the money as your crawler glides across the rocks going where ever you tell it to go because your steering has the power to do it. VS Thinking about your servo all the time and mad because its broke or you cant make it through a gate because your servo wont turn the wheels.

7955 all the way
