Good Servo's?

[JThiessen]

So sometimes they give dummies way too many options! When ordering HiTech 7955 or 5955 you can get it with either 90deg rotation, or 180. I assume that 90 is "normal" for our application, right?

I have a jr ds8611a in my revo, 320 oz and I find it pleasant overkill.

The Hitec servos are the one thing I can get locally for a reasonable price. I use 2 5955tg and love them but the 7955tg has replaced the 5955tg now.

Yep, 90 degree is normal.

I ran the Airtronics 94358 in my REVO with single steering setup. 200OZ torque @ 6v. Great servo, that was 3 years ago and I still am running that servo in my buggy

For big tire apps: JR DS8711--403 oz in, .15 sec @ 6v
For LPR setups: JR DS8717--196 oz in, .06 sec @ 6v

Yes, the DS711 is an air servo, but it works and it works well
Yes, the DS8717 is a cyclic servo, but fast and nearly 200 oz.

I love JR's stuff, and their guarantee. They have never let me down. Don't curse me out, but I am a Nitro guy. Just totally love all the great RC Monster parts. I originally bought the DS8717 as a throttle servo, but it will be the throttle and steering servo on my next ride.

That second servo (DS8717) is a crazy fast servo from the specs. That would make a good buggy steering servo.

It is wicked fast. With the Slayden steering mods, it really whips the steering from stop to stop and has a GREAT turning radius. I never even thought about it as a steering servo until I put them in the truck the wrong way! I had a 403 oz throttle servo and a .06 sec steering servo! Long story short, when I realized what I'd done, and flipped the servos, I really wished that I still had the DS8717 as the steering servo. Next build will be 8717's on the throttle/brakes AND the steering. Plus, its a MG servo, so you can run the extra stiff servo saver spring.

My GTP is brushess, and I have a steering servo to match!

Futaba BLS351

It gives 208 oz./in. and 0.12 sec. at 6V. I've noticed, also, that it doesn't buzz as much as digital servos usually do. Which I find very annoying.

Edit: While writing this I found them on sale at RC Mart for $105!!!

I am going to try running a lipo rx pack without a regulator next. I have a 359 and have heard success stories going direct. That'll make it a really fast torquey servo. I had to steal the bec for my crawler and have a couple small 2s lipos so why not? Ifthe servo fries, I'll go get a Hitec then I know it'll be safe hehe
