hi guys im going to buy a savox servo for my durango. the prices vary on the savoxs from 40 to 75 pound. which one (model) would you run?

is there any advantage in running a low profile, they are cheaper but is their a main reason for this. 1251,1258,1267,1268 i think are the main ones to pick from. obviuosly the speed and torqs separate them all but is there a preference.


many thanks.

I'd plump for 1256 full size (we have them in stock!) in a Durango, there's no advantage to running a low-profile in that servo position.

Maybe the weight /speed?

1251MG (low profile): 44,5g (0,10 / 0,09 s)
1267MG: 62g (0,14 / 0,11 s)
1268MG: 62g (0,16 / 0,13 s)
1256TG: 52g (0,18 / 0,15 s)

I run Futaba BLS low profile in my 410. And the outgoing cables are very near the servo saver. Had to bend them to get clear from rubbing them. A std servo dont have this problem.

You don't need to shorten the servo wire if you run it round the back of the servo first

Of course. Hope those will help... A lot of carpet fibers covering the car.

I had one in mine at the start, but have swapped it out for a low-profile KO instead.

Which one????
I really don't know what i want to do......
Savox Low Profile?
KoPropo Low Profile?
KoPropo RSx Response H.C. ?

I'm not sure which one it was, the sticker has come off:blush: think it might have been a 1258, full size one anyway.

Not sure why I took it out at first, but I do prefer the feel of the car with a KO in it, think that's a 2413, bit hard to see the number as the motor is in the way!

I'm running a 1251M. I had to dremel the holder a little so that the wire would clear it but otherwise no problems.

This weekend I stripped the main gear on my new 1256TG out twice on my truggy steering.

This thread is talking about DEX410...

This thread is talking about DEX410...

oh my bad.:bored:

my point is TG do also strips. and with that TG is "for me " is weaker than MG. may it be 1/10th buggy/truggy or 1/8th buggy/truggy. thats why i got the MG.

i have nothing againts Savox, i for one have a 1251MG but opted not to use it on my 410, i use my ever reliable KO. I just use it for my 2wd buggy.

but again, thats just me. peace.

:) cheers!!!

This one is installed in a 410, not the same problem power problems ( but glitch problems ,posted by aradaiel (http://www.rctech.net/forum/members/aradaiel.html)).
