kind of expenisve though:\

bluebird servos aren't that great. Noisy, twitchy, generally inaccurate, wanders on home position, burn up or strip out for no reason.

I know it's cheap, but buying 2 or 3 to get half the life out of one good one kind of isn't worth it.

What vehicle are you putting a servo in?

T-Maxx 2.5

Definitely the 94358. Great speed and torque for the price.

I tried a bluebird in my Revo. They suck. They can't be anywhere near the 200oz they advertise. Anyway, broke down and bought a JR 9100T with 370oz of torque and have never looked back. That servo is so fast and strong it's amazing. I also have a Hitec 7955 333oz servo in my Xray Truggy and it works pretty well too. It seems to be a little smoother than the JR, but the JR has noticeable power and response over the Hitec. I have a 2070 in my T-maxx and it works OK, but really if you want a good servo that you can depend on, spend the extra bucks and get a hi-end good servo. You'll be glad you did. Both the JR and the Hitec I run are in the $120 range, but worth every penny. You can find some good deals on them here and there if you look around.

Good luck,
Curt

Tower has that one discontinued. Got a link for it that still sells it?

I like the hitec 985MG. 172oz/.13 sec @ 6V. Sealed as well. Not a bad servo at all for $70.

That's not too bad either. Is it sealed with o-rings? One on the output shaft at least?

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

The actual servo end that sticks out doesn't have an O-Ring, but the part where the servo opens up does.
