Replacement micro servos. Good upgrade suggestions?

[Boongoosen]

Hello,

The servo that handles the 2speed transmission has stopped working.
Are there any durable and waterproof options anyone can suggest, that aren’t made by Traxxas?

PowerHD has a low priced waterproof metal gear servo just for this. The TR-4 servo is available from many places including Amazon, eBay and likely lots of other online stores.

For my 2speed gearbox I got this https://www.agf-rc.com/servo-b11dls-p1670802.html...cheap and reliablebut its only 6V :/

I recommend the powerhd tr-4 also. I’m running them for 2-speed and diff locks. Picked up a set of 3 on eBay for like $57

Agreed I am also running it for my 2 speed transmission and will be using them for my locking diffs once the stock servos die.

I generally used JR servos back in the day or Hitecs. Just got back in a few months ago after 8+ years away. Liking these Reefs Servos.
cheap electronics will aways be cheap, and cheap to replace, but a good servo will last a long while and usually only strip gearsets.

Whenever you buy anything electronic, there is a reason you can buy for next to nothing, and then on the other end, have to refinance. lol

Haven't a need, but been looking at getting the SCXIII kit. will get the reefs micros for it. they run about 55 per unit I think it was.
But if I was going old-school, I'd be dropping 70+ on the higher end JR/Hitec options. But changing times, and smaller wallets. lol

You could actually get them from the brand who makes them ....for way less

This is the list of micro servos I have compiled. I personally have no experience with them nor have I verified they fit in a TRX-4. These are just options I've seen mentioned on TRX-4 and SCX10 III threads.

AGF A20CHS - https://www.agf-rc.com/servo-a20chs-p1671215.html
Align DS450
Blue Bird
emax es08 - fits SCX24 steering
Hitec hs65mg fit perfect but will need some creativity for the servo horn
Hitec HS-81
JX hv1151mg
Onyx S10 Micro Servo (ONXM0210)
Power HD TR-4 - drop-in
Reefs (believed to be rebranded AGF)
Spektrum SX107
Traxxas
