I've broke one 16kg savöx (Savöx SC-0251MG) and one cheaper 20kg-version copy (brand Power HD or something) with my bully axles. Their gears are not the strongest material, but they'll last longer if you run plastic servo horns. I didn't break my second 16kg version when using plastic arms and it lasted 'bout 4 months. After that I bought a better Airtronics 'pro' servo. Especially the SC-0251mg is a good deal for the price but if you can afford to a bit more expensive Futaba's, Hitec's, Airtronics' or some other good brands servos, buy them instead of Savöx. |

I just started using the 1268 (277oz/in @ 6V) in my AX-10 and it works well, as good as any other servo. On the down side it seems that the Savox servos are a little more power hungry but if you're running them off a BEC then it doesn't matter except for run time. I'm using a Hobbico CS-170 in my Bully and that is holding up well considering that it was in my Losi for nearly two seasons. |
