Default servo upgrade?

I just suffered my first breakage, snapped the arm off my rear servo.

What are some low priced, but decent servo options.

*can't use the search, kindle doesn't like it*


Thanks

Hitec 645 is one of the best bangs for the buck.

I like Crawford Performance CPE-SER4 under 25 to your front door. Cant beat that with a stick. I have a few differant ones to choose from i am going with a traxxas 2075 for the rear for now and the cpe in the front. Ordered some 12 dollar all metal servos but still waiting on them to get here from China :( I got my traxxas from ebay for like 15 delivered. Also there are some good used ones if you can find them on here or ebay for not to much money.

I bought a 200ish oz metal geared one from ckrc a long time ago for like $18 and it is still in use today. Id say it was a great bang for the buck.

I'm running Mayhems from ZNO, little spendy$30... but bullet proof.

I would love to use the search, but I can't even start typing before the kindle fire I am on kicks me off the "search bar" and my keyboard disappears. It's weird but other forums with this layout do the same.

I have been looking all over but my knowledge of what is compatible with what is limited. I have been working on all the needed mods using this forum. Soaking up as much as I can.

I have decided to get the ckrc mg946r, looks like a good price for metal gears, even though I am going to reaplace the plastic arm with metal.

That's the one I have, it's actually on my scx scaler and I've beat it to death for a year or more.

Got the mg946r installed with the aluminum arm too.

Feels so much stonger and also seems to give me a tighter turn radius


Very happy with this upgrade!
