[nmore1]

Hello everyone and i apologize for the most asked question in these threads.. so i recently got back into the hobby, built the rc10 40th. looking for a good servo.. no real racing or anything maybe some weekend indoor/ outdoor stuff. a main recommended the ecopower WP120T.. some recommend the protek 160t.. any help would be great. i will probably go with a hobbywint quicrun 10bl1120 G2 4000kv

thanks and have a great long weekend!

Power HD B5S is my favorite servo right now. Although ProTek. Savox and the famous and top NitroPro are all top notch imo for a vintage rere

Oooo me check out

Also the warranty nitropro has on their servos are also a no brainer.

If you don't want anything fancy and want something older but still usable (if only running standard 6v bec), xpert 4000lv has great specs. Have that xpert in my 4wd and the powerhd I mentioned above in my 2wd.

Or on the cheap, 9imod servos on AliExpress are pretty darn good.
Anything on Amazon I pass on automatically bc on how slow and how much lag they have. Fine for a basher but for a race kit, it don't deserve it imo lol. Because I had a cheap 25kg hexfly in my Losi 22 before I got the powerhd because of funds at the time and I did 2 races with that in and I was like holy moly this thing is slow. Have to turn like 2 seconds in advanced to take the turn right lol.

Every time I see that Ecopower WP120 servo mentioned, I have to bring this up...

Lots of rebranding goes on in the hobby. You can save a chunk of change with the JX Servo above... if you were to go that route. Ecopower just rebrands items... like their servos. I don't know if there is anything special about the WP120T, but the JX Servo CLS5830HV has very close specs and is said to be the OEM for that WP 120T servo. I had a great many years of abusing the JX Servo CLS5830HV, but I think it came to its end of life cycle the other night.

I'm kind of surprised someone recommended that much of a servo for a 1/10 scale 2wd buggy. But, going overboard is the name of the game, it seems, nowadays.

You won't find the servo anymore. I just wanted to show the servo that I used in my B4 to race with.

It was a rebranded Hitec servo. A fantastic servo for my "middle of the road" racing budget... back in the day... twenty years ago. No servo saver; high traction clay... it held up just fine. Heck, 82 oz-in/0.13 sec is almost laughable compared to what a person can get a better specs for less moolah nowadays.

There are tons of great servos out there. I could go on and on about specs, rebranding, spare gear sets, and why supersonic speed is not everything.

Happy shopping.
