My Servo barely even moves my wheels unless I move it multiple times on remote it’s like a spectrum I think it wasn’t my car but it has a blue case around it and it is not the best looking for a upgrade
 
these are the specs of OEM servo
Id get something little stronger than the 104 grams ,ake sure it has no more travel than the stock 60 degrees unless you have a radio with endpoint adjustments
Time for you to use I net servocity will give you some good servos if you can fill in needs

Is the Traxxas 2255 servo any good?
 
Is this for an actual T-Maxx 3.3 chassis or for a classisc T-Maxx chassis with a 3.3 engine? If it's for the classic chassis I found the servo saver was also on the weak side. Putting in a super strong servo would be hindered by it. The 3.3 chassis uses a different steering setup.
 
I agree. I wouldn't recommend to be without one unless for a specific purpose like a speed run car.

The Classic Tmaxx chassis servo saver reminds me of the ones I had on my Tamiya's back in the day.

If I had to do it again I think I might look into something like this as an upgrade.

I ended up modifying the Tmaxx 3.3 chassis setup to work on my shorter classic chassis.

Reefs 400 raw, it'll cost you about $140.00. I have a Reefs 500 raw in my Outcast 6s. You get what you pay for.
Also recommended.
Yeah racing 33kg (I have one in my Sledge and it works well).
Savox 1211 G (my daughter Tekno MT410 sports one of these).

A servo is not a place to cheap out, it'll make or break your ride.
