Default Servo issues!

Think I'm in need of a decent servo.

Anyone got any decent ones going spare?

Or should I just get one of these? http://www.jemodels.com/petrol-model...ategory_id=638 they look pretty decent and reasonable.

Any advice?

Darren

savox are good, the bigger version is a bit quicker and stronger plus you can buy spare gear sets. im using anderson servos now cause im sick of breaking gears

Alturns are great darren,super quick and very strong,just dont seen to work with the dualsky esc,even with a power cap fitted,far to much glitching.

I've heard good things about the Alturn's also so I would give those a go if I was you Darren.

The savox's are popular but I do seem to hear a lot of niggling issues with them especially the low profile models. That said I haven't used one myself, I'm still rocking a 15 year old K.O propo fet that will probably still be working when I'm long gone!

I've been using the Alturn LP also, no trouble up to now and you can get two for the price of others.

I've got a 1251 had no problems with it. Also have an Alturn which seems just as quick - although did manage to strip a low profile Alturn in a big crash, but wasn't using a servo saver. Didn't stop me buying another though. Also used a 1258tg on my 4wd, but it kept drawing too much power (even with a capacitor fitted) and caused constant brown outs with the rx.

Get a second hand KO fet I'm using a 2123 in both 2wd & 4WD bought them both for £15 each. They're still superb. You expect them to be for £90 when they were new. I've heard or centering issues with savox

Also alturn is too slow at 0.14 sec that's why it's cheap, 0.06 sec is more the speed you want
