Hey guys! I can't even tell you how many servo gears I have gone thru on my ERevo. I have it set up for single steering and use the Traxxas 2075 servos BECAUSE they are cheap and waterproof. BUT, every time I run my truck, I blow the gears. I think it's because of the absolute butt ripping power my truck has, combined with Badlands. I think the speed of the truck and grip of the tires is what's doing it.

SO... rather than having to keep replacing $4 gears, I think I'm going to just get a better servo. My concern is... should i go back to a dual steering servo set up or stick with the single?

BRO swears by these cheap servos on Ebay... so I think I might give one a try when they are back in stock.

I wonder if the HiTech 5625 or 645M's would be sufficient if running just one?

I can also buy my buddy's Ko Propo PDS-2368 servo for cheap. But I still can't help but think that even a $150 servo isn't that much more bulletproof then the $20 servo's Bro abuses daily!

Either way... I need a better servo, but I don't want to break the bank, nor do I want to keep blowing servos! My ERBE is down all the time because of it!

Thanks!
