Hi guys i`ve just bought myself a new 1/10 4 wheel drive buggy for racing but i need a new steering servo, i`ve only normaly used standard one but did upgrade to a fast one in my 1/18 shark.
I have no idea what makes or speeds are out there i`m just after a cheap fastish servo,
If you could help with model numbers so i can have a look out for them, thanks Jamie

Futaba or Power HD

Both have similar specs but the Power HD units are a considerable bit cheaper! None of the problems with centering or excessive power draw that some of the other (especially the budget) brands suffer from!

Consider the servo an investment, I've had the same servos in all my cars for the past 10+ years until recently when I have changed only as I wanted to go low profile!!!
