Servo for Cat SX

[RobW]

Hi

Am in process of buying a Cat SX lipo. Can anyone tell me which decent servos fit without any messing around - have not driven a 4wd buggy for about 15 years so a bit out of touch with how quick/powerful I need. Will be run on a bumpy astroturf track.

Thanks for any help

Rob

Got a Sanwa in mine with no problems

The Team Orion Servos are great, Super Super Fast - http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFun...n&ItemID=31191

or you got the cheaper low profile savox servo only 0.02 seconds slower - http://www.microtechracing.com//prod...EAR&cat=SERVOS

My Sanwa I have to say is too quick so I have slowed it down on the EX10

Looking back I'd go fro something slightly slower

My 1258 Savox works well in my Cat, but when using lipos it's not deep enough for the lipo to rest against it -this is when using the Atomic Carbon Lipo retainer. I've had to put a 5mm or so thick spacer onto the back of the servo for the lipo to rest/locate against. I did have an AE 1313 in there and that was the correct length. I found that servo a little too slow though.

What you need then is the AE ds1015 which is what i had in my recently sold cat LiPO, worked very well and is for sale pm me for details.

You are correct, but I'm happy with my Savox now thank you!

Using Savox servo without problems. GM servos should be good as well.

I use the Futaba 9551 low profile in my cat.

I run Hitec HS-7955TG for carpet and astro-turf. I also put a little dab of automotive clear goop under the servo and use clamp to keep it snug until it dries.

What servo horns are people using with the Savox servo?

Futaba

Been using a ACE servo there mint never had no problems with them either and fits a treat

Highly recommended

If you dont want to put a load of cash into a servo then i use a BLUE BIRD BMS 630MG in my sx, fits well used it for a year with no probs whatsoever and costs just over 20 quid
