id imagine some servos are sold on the name and little to do with performance.

whats the torque spec on that?

 

[evan03]

290 i think. ill go look it up and be back with firm number.

its doing pretty good in the rocks for me. itl steer the tires into a wrinkle.

for 8 bucks its been amazeing.

heres the spec sheet on it. i was shocked that its only 208oz at 6 volts wich is what im running it at. im finding it very crawlable it can be stalled out but you kinda have to try to stall it. man i couldnt imagine a 500oz servo that everyone seems to run.

i have read reviews where people run this servo with 2s lipos with good results but i havent seen tourge specs at that voltage

Get something better than the T-Pro MG946R 55G High Torque Digital Servo. This is one component on the Wraith that you cant really cut corners on and where the phrase "go big or stay home" applies. If you don't mind changing them out every so often and the lack-luster performance, they are a cheap way out. I am figuring on spending upwards of $100 on my next one because thats what I believe it will cost to get a decent servo for my money pit... er, I mean Wraith.

I sure would if I could afford it. Savox is big money to me
