Default dig servoe

Servoe? whats that? Just fyi it's spelled servo. And yes many people like to use the HS-81 servo for a dig because its small but still packs a punch.

I think it's around 50 in. oz. for the hs 81.

15 in. oz. isn't going to cut it, it might work for an hour or so......... go with the hs 81, it's perfect for that use. Should be around $30-$35. Mine lasted over 9 months before it died.

I tried an Eflite micro servoe on my miniwheeler style dig setup and it lasted about 15 minutes.

I've switched to the HS-81 and have been running it for months with no problems.

I would go with the JR DS8711 for the dig servo(403oz), but that is just me Mike, I am running a metal geared Z590 that has 80oz, and it has plenty of power. It is a fullsize servo, which I like, as it adds some weight on my rear axle, but to each their own. Get that tuber done yet?:-P:-P I'm waiting

What's wrong with the servos you have Mike? To big to fit the tuber? I came over and snaped them pics and forgot about that slave unit for the Runner.
