Have you guys used this yet? Its the stock steering servo out of the XL I am thinking about getting it for my x and using the SF-2 for my throttle/brake servo. Here are the specs on it Vs. the SF-2


SF-5...

FEATURES: Excellent response and high driving torque
Extremely precise neutral position. High precision POM (polyacetal)
resin gears allow smooth operation without backlash. Connector
pins are heavy-duty plated to prevent poor contacts. The plug is
designed to prevent incorrect connection.

This is all i can find one the SF-2...

the resin gear part scares me but 314oz isn't bad at all.

not compared to 90oz lol and they go on ebay real cheap from the chop shops.

Give HPI time, and I'm sure they'll offer an upgraded gear package... For the price, I'd say that's a good upgrade for the savage.

the stats you listed for teh SF5 dont make sense. Its says 314oz/in but it also says 8.9kg/cm. 8.9kg/cm is only 123oz/in not 314/in. A better upgrade that wont break the bank is the SF50. Its 166on/in and its a stock part for the a bunch of HPI's models now so its cheap. And it already has metal gears.
