Kpowell911 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Im after 3x metal gear servos for 2x Revos. I need 2x Steering and 1x Throttle. They dont need to be waterproof or anything fancy, just better than RTR stuff. Any recommendations? Are any of the Amazon Prime ones any good? Dont really wanna pay much, around £20 each I guess? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 If you're not in hurry then Aliexpress will have a JX servo in various torques and speeds, I've used various without issues, get the Pro version for faster speed, such as https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1943129663.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.7125741641JMvU&algo_pvid=c8480ce5-b337-4374-a70d-ae807c01fdda&algo_exp_id=c8480ce5-b337-4374-a70d-ae807c01fdda-3&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"66387439505"}&pdp_npi=2%40dis!USD!23.55!13.19!!!!!%402100bdd516603357341418379ec237!66387439505!sea&curPageLogUid=wK6gK5Bql7zh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I'm not a fan of the Amazon specials/Red DS servos and in both instances gave them away and opted for super old hitec servos which continue to do a great job. I found the red DS things just way too slow, but then again I have been running nothing but buggies until recently. So I guess for crawlers and other form factors which don't call for speed they're fine. I think with all the nice stuff you have you may end up a bit underwhelmed with the Red DS type servo. I second JX servo, had a 46kg in my 8T, no issues. Quick enough, decent torque and reviews seem decent too. Failing that I'd buy something used off FB/eBay.

I didnt get on with one as a steering servo in a Kraton EXB, I gave it away as you did. Im thinking it may be ok in a seldom used revo?

Shergar Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 You can get a Power HD for a just few quid more than the amazon ones (now they have shot up in price). https://servoshop.co.uk/index.php?pid=HDLF20MG&area=Servo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
