Steering servo - 11-26-2005, 02:01 PM

I was just out running and I heard a cracking when I turn, I cracked the servo case, so I put another one on, but whatever, Im looking to get a better one with more power, I have a T-Maxx that its in. What are you guys running?

I would get an airtronics 94538 Its 200 oz and .10 sec. The Servo is around 100.00

There ar cheaper ones, but they will end up burning out, especially if you go with the lower end hitecs.

The Hitec titanium servos are good also, they are all around 100-110.00

I think that servo is the one that my friend has in his T-maxx. It is amazing and well worth the cash. It would steer harder and faster than the servo in my RC10GT.

Yeah, thats a little steep in price for me, Revo2k was going to sell me a Hitec, I'm not sure of the numbers or anything, he said its around 40$ brand new, he just sent it in to get fixed or something, I hope he lets me try it for a week or something to see if i like it.

Yeah all of these are a little to pricey for me, I'm lucky to get 20$ a week for chores because my dad is so cheap. Hes had a tmaxx for about 2 years and only ran it 3 times since break in because he doenst want to pay for the fuel. Do you guys have any suggestions that is under 50$?

How old are you?? I wouldn't complain about your parents being cheap. I did chores around here for nothing. I always cut grass or shoveled snow for cash and then looked for a job as soon as I could. Just save your cash...

if you get a 645 save the recept. some of them have a cenering prob. after a while it wont center. it will just go to one side. but like i said save the recept and youll be able to return it or get a new one from hitec directly

Yeah... save your cash and do work around the neighborhood. When you are 15 you can get a job bagging at jewel or something. Might not be the best job but it brings in some extra cash.

If you can get that much in a week I would say that you are best off saving some of it and getting a servo in the $100 range. It will last you far longer than two $50 servos would and will perform better.
