12th servo help
guys, looking for a decent servo for a 12th pan car (not gt12), anyone have any suggestions? or even better one they would like to part with?

It depends on your budget, but would recommend looking at speed over torque on a 1/12 servo.
I currently use a savox sh-1357 in my 1/12 car and highly recommend it. It's super quick but is a bit expensive at about £40. I used to use a hitec hs-225mg (now my spare), it's a good servo just not quite as quick but is half the price.

The key to a 12th servo is that it is reliable and it centres well. That usually rules out anything other than the Futaba or Sanwa servos. The Core seems good (I used one in a GT12) but its spindle position means it won't fit the majority of 12th chassis'.
Futaba is by far the best choice. S9650 or its latest replacement the 9760 (I think). Hitecs suffer from centring problems in the medium term and Savox are too power-hungry for a 12th installation using 1S - it will rob you of power at best, and cause shutdowns at worst. People will disagree with this, but as any review of servos in a 12th meeting will tell you, Futaba and Sanwa are there by the scores; the others not so much to not at all! HTH |

1/12 servo's galore!
The Futaba S9650 is the time honoured choice along with the Sanwa HR141 and its digital version.
I have also used the Futaba BLS651 digital brushless version of the S9650 with more torque but a new Futaba is now available, the S9670SV! The Core is a good low cost little servo but needs quite a bit more space than the Futaba or Sanwa, there is also the KO RSx12 of course, so the choice is yours. Sorry if this is repeating what others have said, I just wanted to expand the choice a little to help your quest! |
