I recently got a CEN Reeper 1/7 monster truck, and first off this thing is a beast on 6s! it's almost half the price of an Xmaxx and only a bit smaller. It seems very well designed and I drove it for a good thirty minutes at a concrete skate park with nothing breaking at all. I did fill the center diff so it would wheelie a bit more, and I threw in a spektrum radio I had laying around, but other than that I have changed nothing. It only has one problem, the servo is severely underpowered. It's a Savox standard sized metal geared and it only has 12kg of torque. Which at a standstill on pavement can't turn the wheels at all. So what would you guy's recommend for a standard sized servo for a large scale basher?
 
I've never heard of that brand before but it's good you're having fun, my personal experience with my 1/5 scale losi is the stock one broke and I bought an AGF servo and haven't had problems since, definitely would recommend it for a 1/5 scale but I'm not sure how it would work in a 1/7, could you maybe provide a couple pictures of servo location?

If anything I would also recommend looking into a JX type servo, I run a pair of them on my DBXL and it works everytime and I haven't had any problems, I'm not sure if they make them for the 1/7-1/5 scale range though
 
The servo that comes in the truck is a standard 1/10th size servo, and it doesn't look like a bigger one will fit. I'm looking for something cheap as it's just a basher
 
If going with goolrc servos is what you want to do then go ahead, but I myself have personally had really bad luck with anything electric-wise from gool
