Yes the RR comes with a 5mm pinion.

Any opinions on the savox 1210sg servo?

I did not know that. Thanks.

You're probably going to want more power than that servo offers.

Check this out: ProModeler - 470oz-in, Std, BLS #DS470BLHV

I don't have any personal experience with that servo, but a lot of people love it.

I only ordered the savox 1256 based on what others were using so I would think the 1210 would be plenty.

That's the servo that I put into my Yeti kit. I feel that it's got more torque than a higher speed type of vehicle needs, but I wanted it from a durability perspective since I intend to eliminate the servo saver. To do that always requires a durable servo.

If you elect to keep the servo saver, I don't think you need that much torque, nor that much durability, since the servo saver will actuate long before you reach a decent servo's torque limit, and the servo saver, as the name implies, will also protect the servo from getting the kinds of jolts that can ruin them.

That promodler seems like the way to go! I did see a mention of waterproof but I’m assuming it is?

This might be a little off topic and please let me
Know if I should start a different thread but my lhs said that the rock Rey is not much of a crawler and wouldn’t do well in my local rock races which he said is mostly crawling.

Yes, it's waterproof. It's got 13 o-rings, plus the board is conformal coated.

Right from the website:

We also pay close attention to things like dust, water, and exhaust-oil resistance. How? Through the use of 13 O-rings for sealing. Why so many? It's because truly protecting the insides from the environment means using there must be an O-ring everywhere, at the splined output shaft where it exits the case, where the three case components come together to become one, and even beneath the 10 individual screw heads!

For example, what if while you're flying a pop-up rain shower develops before you can land? Or maybe you love to fly off water! This means protecting the servo's guts from the environment is important, right? After all, we know how pernicious water can be with respect to getting inside the servo. And this is important for all users . . .even if you never intend to take your servo underwater! But if you do plan to play submarine, then read the askJohn article regarding how to make them more water-resistant with a couple easy steps.
