If you can, find a proline steering servo, they are great. I use the Hitec 5955, 333oz of torque, I love it too!!!

The only thing that stopped me getting the Hitec 5955 was the price- $110.... good servo though by all accounts.

i just picked up a 5955tg from an ebay seller (store) that has them for $89! i think he still has that sale going for a few more days, too.

for those that have the 5955, do you notice it 'beep' a lot? the instructions say it's normal and that the servo is just trying to center itself (it happens mostly under load), but it's soooo noisy! esp. compared to my old 645mg.

edit: here is the ebay listing. he has crappy feedback score (98%, not bad, but not perfect either) but i got my servo within a few days.

MD 500 scale heli - castle HV-45 on 3s
Eflite Blade 400 heli on 3s

I find Hitec digital servos to be noisey in general when compared to other brand digitals. Airtronics is nice an quiet.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

I have both the Aitronics that Mike sells and the Hitec. The Hitec is more noisy, but I found with the Hitec if you adjust your EPA to perfection it creates less "beeping". But the torque you get is by far worth the noise IMO!!!:027:

This is very true, mostly at stand still or when your checking things out.

Big (powerful) digital servos are noisy.

Not too bad! Never had a JR servo though, how do they hold up?

I had the 9000T in my emaxx, then moved it to my LSP, it is STRONG and have not had any problems with it yet. I do alot of stupid things in my trucks, so it has held up well IMO.
