| Re: need some help picking a servo
The "CS" series of servos are rebadged HiTec servos. They lack a little adjustability of the true HiTec, but most people won't notice anything but the cheaper price.  I know Tower Hobbies carries the "CS" servos.  I'm guessing your rig will like the 7955 (or CS equal), you will be borderline on needing an external BEC. I suggest an external BEC when you hit the ~200inoz servo rating. I use HiTec servo's in my crawlers (as well as my son's), while I have had a couple of issues, the customer service has been great. |

Heres one for under a $100 HRC37954S HS-7954SH High Voltage Ultra Torque Dual BB - Hitec RCD Inc. Radios You can find them cheaper if you look around and this will handle 7.4 volts |

I'll put one in for the cs-170. I run it and several of my buddies run this to in comp rigs as well as scalers.
