truck servo needed

[lbrown251]

So the servo in my truck is junk do i have to put the same type back in or can i buy a different brand

what is your truck? and what servo are you using?......in short yes you can buy a different brand servo, to replace your current one.

Id recommend buying a Savox brand servo. If you tell us what truck you have we can recommend a specific model(s)

For future reference you can make things a lot simpler by giving the type of truck and which servo. Throttle/brake or steering.

Sorry its for the steering

Okay, thanks.
Is the servo shot or just really weak? If it still works you can save it to replace the throttle servo when you need it and upgrade to a higher torque servo for the steering.
You might want to look into the Hitec MG-645. That's a good servo for the money. You'll get a few more suggestions, so just hang in there.

If it used to work okay but you're having a problem after changing things, disconnect it and see if you can find any resistance in the steering by moving the front wheels side to side by hand.
Most stock servos have a hard time steering if the truck is sitting still on the ground, but will work fine once it's moving.
