With the exception of my touring cars, ever other rig I own from crawlers, 5th scale, MT's and SC use Hitec servos.

My Losi uses a 7950 and it has been rock solid with no issues. In fact I have never had a problem with a Hitec servo period.

I'm sure the JR is a fine servo as well, but I am a Hitec guy and voted that way.
 
I've run pretty much nothing but Hitec for the past few years with few exceptions. I do curse Hitec every so often b/c sometimes the servo makes that digital noise like a crackling or something. I have a 7955 for steering in my comp rig and a 5645 for dig. No issues with either. I run a 985 in my 2.2 Rubicon scaler w/o any problems. I have ruined a few like a 645 in a scaler and a 5955 that I first used for dig with my DX3R and wasn't smart enough to set the endpoints and fried it. I still need to see if Hitec will fix it for me. I do not have any experience with JR but do plan on giving them a try in the future. So I say Hitec."thumbsup"

I sell both and they are really great products. But the 7950 is selling like hotcakes. So I think everybody is pleased with it. "thumbsup"
