Servo suggestions for 1/8 Truggy

[Fornia455]

Coming off buying a Losi T Nitro RTR in Sept., I'm about to start building an Associated RC8T3.2 nitro kit, and was wondering about suggestions for servos. Running off road at a track here in Florida, I've upgraded my RTR to the Protek 130 (throttle) and Protek 170TBL (steering), but want to keep those in place for the 'back up' rig.

I've got good local/easy access to the NitroPro stuff, but open to any suggestions. Thanks!

Personally Id probably run a Savox SV1272SG - High Voltage Coreless Digital Servo .10/416.6 @ 7.4V in it.

@Greywolf74 So you'd run that Servo for both steering and throttle?

Sorry I forgot about the throttle/brake servo. For throttle Id prolly use a Savox SV1254MG - High Voltage Coreless Digital Servo, Low Profile, .085/208.3 @ 7.4V.

Brushless, made in the USA (Florida), and arguably better than the Savox. https://www.promodeler.com/DS635BLHV

I have two of these and they are extremely fast and powerful and dead silent. Once you try one you wont use anything else.

Interesting. Quick glance, but they’re a good bit heavier than most stuff guys run in 1/8 off road.

That DS635BLHV Servo looks awesome but at that price I could buy another SCX24! Seriously, I don't know if I will ever get that serious about parts, unless my budget drastically improves. If I could afford to splurge, heck yeah I'd but the good stuff.

That send it servo is only 90 bucks an that is a damn good price for a servo that would out last your platform..

A send it servo was the only thing that was still working in my kyosho after the collision ,just can't beat stainless steel
gear servo!..

Yeah, if you’re worried about weight then these may not be your best option but if you want strength, speed, and accuracy then these are solid. I also like that they’re not made in China and anytime I can avoid sending my money to the CCP I like it.
