Default Recommend a Servo

I was out bashing the WK and destroyed the servo.

I'm looking for a fairly cheap but stronger unity to replace the stock one.

The only one I see on Tower is the 475HB... that would work right? I need to order a few other things from Tower so I'd like to get everything there if I can.

The HiTec 985MG I have on my WK rig hasn't failed me yet, while 2 others (including a Tower Pro 945MG), have crapped out on me.

Not the cheapest I'll agree, but you get what you pay for IMO.

This isn't a crawler, purely a basher. And I can't spend $40 on a servo right now.... maybe someone has an HPI SF-2 out of an Emaxx for cheap?

Tower pro, hitec 645, futuba s3305, or even a hobbico c170 would all work great.

Ha - I just tor it apart... the servo isn't busted, the "servo saver" broke. The pinoin on the servo was just spining in the plastic. Thanks for the help though guys! This is an easier fix than what I thought!

For the money i would go with the t/p 945 from jpcustomrcs Its a digital servo and will burn up very quickly if you steering isnt setup right. I ran mine on my super all summer with no probs. If you do go with the 945 just make sure your servo maxes out before your steering does.

This is what I use in all my rigs. Cheap, quick and a 3year warranty!
