Mini 8ight servo options

[Pulse]

Hello,

I'm looking for a good servo for my M8. I'll use it mainly on a 1/10 astro track and want a servo that won't need to be replaced in the future because it's too slow or lacks of torque.

What would be the best options?

Hi
Savox SH1257mg micro servo, fast, good torque,just need original mount opened up slightly to fit
Inolab Hb 261 not metal geared but strong and fast, shorter than mount so new hole needs drilling after cutting bottom off mount

Hello,
I use a Graupner DES 678 BB MG in my Mini 8ight. It's fast and fits the original servo mount perfectly.

+1 for the Savox

Also use a Kimbrough Servo saver - top row of holes trimmed off (Desc: "Kimbrough #114 Servo Saver for Futaba 25 Spline Drive" on Ebay)

...but these Savöx Micro Servos do have a 21T Spline!?
Does a 25T Spline Saver fit properly?
Cheers,

The savox is definately 25Tooth! Check Savoxusa etc.

I'm running it with the WHITE 25T kimbrough. The RED 21T kimbrough may fit if you force it on but not recommended

You are right, so i got a wrong information.
Problem solved, thanks!
Cheers,

Thanks, I heard about the hitec 5245mg, 225mg and 245mg too, futaba 9650, Airtronics 94820...now I have even more choice

oh yeah and the servo saver too, I know there is a Xray that would fit too but I can't remember the part number

The Xray Micro servo saver is very nice! The part number is XRA382500.

I like Xray stuff in general, thanks or the info! This said it costs three times more than the Kimbrough which I find a bit crazy

Just ordered 2x gens ace 1550mah 25C so the M8 should be on the track very soon . Can't wait! It's weird havin many 1/8 and 1/10 cars and be so crazy about a 1/14. That's because I tried a shark two years ago that I fell in love with
