Goodluck! In all seriousness this topic just came up a few days ago. Don't remember the member but they wanted a good servo for $40. For that price point you pretty much need to take your chances with the HK stuff. To get a good servo brand new the cheapest you'll find is gonna be about $80, you may be able to find a used Hitec 5955TG or 7955TG for about $60. For a single servo in a Maxx or any other MT you should be looking for something with at least 250oz/inch torque. I just got a Savage Flux myself and I'm sticking a Hitec 7955TG in it in the next couple days, 333oz tourque and I think the speed is like .16 or something like that
Do you really want to downgrade and lose 10% of your steering power? The E-Maxx setup is weak with the smaller tires that where on the original E-Maxx, the brushless Maxx has bigger tires so I'm sure it has a harder time throwing those tires from side to side, I sure wouldn't want to give up 10% of what it has to begin with
i dont even have servos right now... im woking on a project but thank for your help anyways... anybody runing any thing differend that has a low price?
With servos like anything else you get what you pay for, I'd save some more money to get a high qaulity Dig MG High Torque jobber like a JR or Hitec. But if your absolute on getting something cheap heres a option. http://www.hobbypartz.com/radm49gdisew.html
You can alwasy pick up something on Ebay cheap but your guess is as good as mine on what youll actually receive ?
