single servo setup..........but on a budget.

[jokerjustin]

well just like the title says im looking for a single servo setup to replace my stock setup.... i think these are finally losing a little power and seem to have trouble self centering...

what are some affordable servos out there? i just cant convince my self to buy 100$ servo.

Hitec 5645 is a decent servo for around 50.00

What car. If there is room for a 1/4 scale servo go that route. If not check out hobby city's servos- very economical

equates to 180oz/in of tq.

plenty for your truck

How much torque do you need?? I use the 1013 in all my larger stuff, truggy included and it works perfectly fine. There is also a 1015 with even more torque.

Hobbycity servos are awesome. You could afford a dual servo setup if you wanted. Check out the hxt 12kg servo while you're there. I've owned a bunch and they never have failed besides the mounts... use washers for sure. They are a litle noisy and power hogging, but they are strong and the metal gears won't strip. They cost under $8.

If you want to compete with hitecs and stuff get something like what BLBoy suggested. Those look really nice.

You could always do what I did...bought a new $110- servo on RCTech for $70- shipped.

You can get great lightly used ones for $30-40 as well

Something like this? http://www.rctech.net/forum/r-c-item...cs-servos.html

I used a hitec 645mg on my 3.3 and it worked pretty well

I like ACE servos personally. High torque/speed at not so high a price. Pretty beefy built too.

ditto.
although i dont think my ACE 1015 has the optimal amount of grunt. a little slow to turn the wheels at a stop but it seems to be going ok so far.

Beg to differ on that.




my ds1015 has seen a buggy, 2 revos, 10th scale's etc.

Has plenty of power to toss around MT wheels on all surfaces

yes plenty but i can hear it starting to load up on grippy surfaces when vehicle is stationary.

but no matter what...it is DAMN fast!!!

[jokerjustin]

im not totally against deals with people ive just never had a good experience with it... i just like the comfort and security of going thu a company

[jokerjustin]

i was looking at the analog ones..... 90$ for a servo is hard to justify... but then again so is a 1000$ rc car.. i think im ganna give one of those hobbyking servos a shot and if not save up for the ace one...

are the splines the same as the one on the revo?
