are the splines the same as the one on the revo?

I get those servos at my LHS around 10-15% lower in price. The site must just be showing MRSP. They aren't exactly cheap, but you get what you pay for. And even if the servo has a different horn than the stock Revo, you can either get the servo horn lit (has lots of horns for various servo companies), or just use the included horns and modify as necessary.

Let us know how those HK servos work, I'm curious.

sure will do.... think the 181 oz tq is enough? that just seems weak... i wonder what the traxxas ones are rated for?

[brushlessboy16]

Traxxas have a 25t spline count, identical to Futaba. most of the HK servos have a futaba outputs so I would beleive they are drop in

I think the stock 2055's are 80 oz-in, but not sure.

If it's in an E-revo the stock waterproof servos are rated at 125oz/inch torque. I could never justify money on a servo myself but when I built a 1/8 truggy to race I figured I wasn't gonna skimp out on anything, I went with a Hitec 7955TG. Awesome servo and it will throw the tires around no matter what surface your on, even if you have the wheel wedged up against a wall it will push the wheel and the weight of the front end and it does it all so quickly! I understand that it's hard to justify....Until you have a good servo!

I don't know, the reviews are pretty mixed on the HK servos: they state it centers pretty good, but it's very rough and noisy and not good for where precision is a factor (steering), but what the heck give it a try?
I use Hitec servos, and they are good thus far.
