for around $70 I would get the Futaba S9451. Granted it is $10 more than you want to spend but it is a great servo! I just ordered 2!

I hear alot of people talking about the JR Z650M. That will be my next on probably. It is .05 sec. faster than the one I have now, so it will take some getting use to.


$49.99 at Horizon

A lot of people use the Hitec 645MG for steering. $40 at ServoCity.com. If you are going to race you might want to consider something with a quicker response time.

Thanks alot guys, the Futaba S9451 would be the best bet, pay a little more, but will last the time the buggy lasts!...thanks

I say HS-645MG unless you are racing.

Servo

The Hitec 645 is fine, you can get it at tower for 36.99. Make sure you use the screw that comes with the servo and not the screw that is in your exisiting servo, I had a problem doing that.

use the hitec 945 181 in/oz at .13 sec

I just popped a JRZ650M in my Storm as an upgrade for the steering. I couldn't pass it up, the price was great, less than $40.
