Ok I'm tired of my stock servos so I'm looking to get the best servos that are out....throttle servo and stering...doesn't matter how much they are moneys not a problem :)
Thank you guys! :cheers: :hammer:
 
look in to Hitec..also for steering make sure the servo is metal gears in it also i have a AE s2008 servo that was in my Maxx and it worked very good..for the price..oih one more thing since money is not a problem you minus well upgrade the whole radio system
 
Hitec 645mg/5645 is a good place to start. High torque and can be had for around $40/$60 just about anywhere online. Just remember that in most cases when you go higher in torque you drain RX power faster. I'd get a 6V nimh rx pack along with the new servos.

Here is my drug of choice for steering servos on a Buggy or MT.
http://servocity.com/html/hs-5945mg_digital_torque.html

i have this servo for my steering 181 oz. torque at 6 volts, and speed is .13sec. scored it brand new off ebay for about $68 shipped.

i have a futaba s9450 for the throttle/brake 111oz. torque at 6 volts at .10sec.

hi-tec i beleive its hs-5745 is 250oz. of torque but will run your battery down quick. this much torque is for super beetles. huge traucks that need power to turn.

get didgital as they are faster. they run down the batteries faster, but are much faster. just pick up another 1100 mah hump pack for about $10-20.

i have 2 hump packs. i believe fasteddy makes them

so if money isnt a issue go with high end futaba and hi tec. futaba s9350 is high torque and quick at like .08sec response time something real close to that. but not cheap.

I like to aritronics line. I'm using a 94358 and its awsome. All the power you could ever need and its fast too .1 sec.
 
I went through so Many headaches w/ learning how to set up digital servos...I tried these
hi-tec:645MG / 5945mg / 5645m.... great analog servo but I had 2 bad digitals right out of the box in a row...the first one I killed myself so I cna't blame them.
Then I found my true loves
JR 8611 for steering
Tank of a servo never failed me in 5 months of serious abuse
and
Futaba 9451 for throttle...same thing never failed me yet...thought I had one go but it was my Tx.....just read A LOT before installing digital servos...all your linkages have to be set up perfect or you will be cooking anything you use.....digitals are great cause you can use better radios and take advantage of the faster Tx/Rx rates....
