looking for a servo for my touring car, any ideas what i should buy?

:)Two things is there a problem with space and what's your budget, previously ran the Sanwa ERG WRX which is ultra fast but £110.00. When I got tight for space with my Tamiya TB Evo 5 I switched to a Futaba 9550 low profile servo - £80.00 or thereabouts.:)

get a Ace servo mate thats what im using in my TC :D

Although there is nothing wrong with the Ace servo, it's intended for 1/8th nitro, if I was buying a servo specifically for 1/10th touring I'd probably get the low-profile Futaba S9550/9551, or maybe the standard equivalent S9451/9452.

Although to be honest a standard Futaba 3003 works really well in touring car anyway, for a whole lot less money.

When I started out I used these. They were 4 for 12quid delivered on eBay. At that price it didn't matter if they got smashed (which they did)

I've always run KO's in the past but have recently tried the ino-lab HG-D760MG in my 4wd which has been really good :)

Same specs as a top end KO, all metal gears and half the price :thumbsup:

buy std acoms servos (as16/17) and connect the positive to the 7.2v of the esc with a 4.7 ohm fet choke (50p from maplins) and you will be more than speedy enough.

But lifespan is vastly reduced. But if they're cheap, it doesn't matter:thumbsup:

run em in my 8th ic car too good servos http://www.flighttech.co.uk/index.as...rvos/index.asp (bottom two) any trakpower or flightpower stockist can get em

I use ko propo servos as a rule, but the hotwired acoms are fine.

here is a link to the chokes

I'd recommend a Bluebird BMS-631MG myself, fast, strong and under £25.
