| Hitec Product Specs Just look at the specs of the servos in question, then compare the prices................the decision is up to you. |

I'm running the Tower Pro MG 955 in my super crawler (2) and my 2.2 (1) and to this point I've had no problems. That being said the Hi Tech 645 seems to be the standard issue crawling servo and work very well. |

There are two versions of the MG 955, You may have got the high speed instead of the high torque.:?

I think you might want to check the BEC rating of your ESC. Make sure it is supplying enough power to the servo. It is rated at 200 oz. at 6 volts.:?

i've read some not very good things about the TOWERPRO servo. you really should read this thread: TowerPrg MG995 seems if you order two you might get lucky enough to get one that will work for more than a week. and they take a long time to get. for the headache that comes with the TOWER servo i would have to say just get the HITEC |

I've read it and posted several times. So far I'm a month in. 1 COMP (2nd overall) 2 GTG's and numerouse practice runs and they are both running great. So I guess I'm lucky?

Several sessions, gtg's and a comp and not a single problem to this point! Put one in the 2.2 TLT and I'll do some more "testing"! |
