Either can be purchased at Hobbypartz.com. Don't let the price point fool you. I have ran these servos for months with daily abuse with zero failure. Both are quick to respond and center perfectly without error.

hey Project dont tell people, i want them all for myself. 5 of us use them for racing; from spec slash to open sct and open buggy. Just try one and if you dont like it your out $18.
The d771 is high speed and the d772 is torque, look at the specs

Always remember "you get what you pay for."

I would stay away from the cheaper chinese made servos. But I am a "do it right the first time" type of person.
For a happy medium I would go with Savox.
If money is no object, go for the metal gear higher end Hitec units.

Just my $.02

It is true but sometimes once a company builds a name they cut cost and in turn reduce quality yet the price remains the same.

So your assuming that just because we experiment or try different product you dont support , Then we are doing it wrong? So apparently you have never done R&D? We are the people that make it possible for you to make the right choice the first time.
Just my .03

I did not proclaim my opinion (read "my $.02") as gospel.
But having come from trying the less expensive brands, then moving on to try the higher end manufacturer's parts I try to share my experience which is what you in so many words just stated, try it then decide.
I feel I shared a fair warning.
Trust me when I say I threw a little chunk of money around over the past couple decades trying to find the "budget servo to be all servos." I only recently got into crawlers/scalers and put this experience to good use.
Do it once, do it right.
The traxxas, tower pro and solar servos I have used did not in any way stand up to the performance claims they advertised.
The once brand that really impressed me for the money was Hobbico.
I dont feel the quality of any of the Hitec and Savox products I utilize have somehow degraded to the quality of a cheap nearly disposable <$20 servo over time whether by abuse or by cost cutting in the manufacturing process.

High horse much? Dayum.

This is a more informative opinion that you should have first stated.

Some choose to follow the path others have made, others choose to explore their own!

SOLAR FTFW (for the freaking win). Solars are just as superior as hitec or savox. Only down side I could say is they are a little noisy when sitting.

I rest my case. Thats my $1,000,000 opinion.

I'll delete my post Kzzican

I thought I try a solar and went to order it and they want to charge me $12 to ship it that's ridiculous.
Didn't they used to have like a six dollar parts option for shipping?

Solars do it right the first time, and everyday for the next year, and all the next to come. Most "cheap" chinese servos are awful, I highly agree. But the Solar line of servos allow me to save my money for other higher end electronics. They are phenomenal servos that center better than all of my hitec's. I have stripped more hitec metal gears than solars.

To each his own, but do not dawg them if you haven't ran them.

Yeah I dunno whats up with hobbypartz.com. They are loosing my business very quickly.

[gbean]

Well maybe I will try a solar servo next time. If i ever kill this 1230sg. It seems very stout after two months of hard abuse.

I ordered one from Nitrorcx.com same company but that site offered a flat rate of 9.99 to ship parts. Hope it's as good as you guys say..I've burnt up all the cheap ones I've used in the past but this has the best specs of all the cheap ones that I've tried. I typically use hitec 7954 or 7950 models. Hope this is similar.

Way to shit all over badgers thread. Nice work.

[gbean]

Yeah maybe a little cleanup is in order.

Maybe the OP can chime in here on servo opinion.

[razors 33]

Sorry guys I didn't mean to start an argument

[gbean]

You didnt start it.
We did.
I'm sorry for feeding the fire.

[ProjectSCX10]

I forgot what thread this was. Oops. Discussion over.
