I'm just curious if anyone has had any experiences with this solar servo. I couldn't find a lot of information on them myself. Other than people saying they are a little overrated for torque. I'll be running it at 6V with a rx pack. I'm planning on using this servo as my new steering servo for the Maxx. It's not a savox servo, but it looks like it will be a lot better than the traxxas 2075 servo I have now.

That price sure is cheap enough, even if its not that great at least your not out a ton of money. And I am sure it would be an improvement over the stock servo. In this hobby it is like any other you usually get what you pay for.
 
Yeah the price sure is nice, but scary. It looks nice on paper. With 6v it has 368 oz/in. I have read that its over rated though. Even if it was only doing 250 oz/in thats twice the torque of my current steering servo. The speed is .2, but whats that mean?
 
Not sure about speed. I am not that great with servo's man. I am old school heck I still use Am radio gear with trucks. I prob will eventually go FM though.:D
 
This is from another forum:

Those numbers got me to buy 4 of the solars. My Savox 1283 is rated for 347oz/in at 4.8 v and the solar is nowhere near as powerful even at 6v (I run a BEC in my crawlers and can compare the two). The other Savox I used on my ST-1 was a 1256 (222oz in) and even it turned the tires better in the grass than the Solar. FWIW I bought 4 of the Solars, all the same story.

The 0.2 is the speed it takes to move the servo 60° (under no load, I believe).

Ya I hear ya man,I know all kinds of stuff but just really starting to learn servos myself,...... At .20 for steering is ok if there's torque to back it up

It's looking like I should just go with a nicer servo. I thought I could get away with it but the more and more I read about it, it sounds bad. Thanks everyone.
