What’s a good servo to replace my red cat thunder drift servo? My Redcat was barely driven and the servo still died after only a hand full of runs. So what’s a good servo for it that will last longer than the standard one?
 
If you bought it new you could go through the warranty side of things. Otherwise for an on road car I'd go with a hitec 645 mg servo. I've used them in monster trucks and they are nice on the cheaper side of 30 bucks. If you want to go with a savox 1258tg and those are nearly indestructible. However they run upwards of 75. Just my 10 cents worth
 
Id go with 1 of these I have been running for years never had a problem. Id also add a servo saver to that. a hd 1 with be fine with a universal fit...

you might need to set 1 with a throw thats under this 1 unless you have endpoint adjustment,,a Kimbro servo saver will work

this will take up the crashes and impacts you have in drifting
