Outlaw Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 As per title, my Gelande currently has a servo which is described by RC4WD as "adequate for trails and light crawling" and is "153 oz-inch at 6v". I'm finding it quite inadequate actually, maybe something to do with a large tyre footprint but the upshot is I need a stronger servo. Can any of you guys recommend me a good strong reliable servo? I'm guessing I'll need about £40-60 for a decent one? But that is only a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your servo a std size 1/10? you could try one of these..... £20.69 from Modelsport https://www.modelsport.co.uk/ Savox SC-0254 Standard Size Digital Servo (Speed) SAV-SC0254MG £20.69 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PH001 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Savox 1256TG is all the servo you will ever need. I've been through a lot of others, some have speed, some have torque, some have both but are very power hungry. The 1256TG seems to have some magic ingredient that gives both whilst running from very modest BEC's. Absolutely bullet proof to go with it. Create an alert on Ebay to pick one up for £20 - £25. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwind Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I've got on great with Turnigy 959s- never had a problem with either of mine, even though I outright abuse the torque of them to get out of traps etc. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 The Power HD 20KG red and blues are pretty good for the price. About £13 - £17 delivered off of EBay from Chinese sellers. The red isn't marked as water proof but it uses a waterproof case with o rings and seals everywhere. The blue one is marked as water proof and it as a conformal coating on the board inside. But since it uses the same waterproof case as the red one, it's maybe better if you submerge your rig often They make around 23KG as well at 6v in real world testing The Turnigy 959 is also a great servo. It's not waterproof and is marketed 30KG at 6v but in real world testing makes approx 40KG. Even if you have weighted 2.2's with soft foams it will turn them no problem. But you need a good BEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
