IMHO

I have run MG645s as throttle servos in 1/8th with KO gear without problems.

I have the opposite opinion to Dan regarding HiTec servos and run them exclusively in all my cars (and have done for something like 8 years) except the FS which has a Futaba 9550 in purely to make instalation easier.

The hs-645 might not be digital which could be why you're having problems. my futaba 3pk won't work with analogue servos.

+1

Making it 2-1 to the "don't ever waste your time with a Hitec servo" camp.

Unless you are running the KO radio in high-response mode, there shouldn't be any problems.

Hitec servo's are just terrible. Invariably if a car has a radio problem, there is a piece of Hitec equipment in there somewhere. Stick with real Japanese quality brands like KO, Futaba and Sanwa.

Excellent Rog, just to keep up with our, "I couldn't disagree with you more..................." :)

thanks for the replys guys the hi-tec servo was just to get the 1/8 up and running but did'nt work so have a savox on the way :thumbsup: give that a try any comments on the savox servos

cheers paul:)

Strange :yawn: i ran a hitec in my S4 for a full season without an issue and infact have one for my throttle servo right now in the 8th also without a problem.

Inconsistency is one of Hitec's most consistent issues.

savox are awesome fast torquey and bombproof

I can honestly say that I've never had a bad HiTec servo or reciever and use them in my planes as well as cars.

That said in a money no object world all my kit would be pure Futaba.

Savox servos seem to be very good from what I can gather from those running them.

Well I've had plenty of issues with Hitec stuff and for me it's clear, never again :thumbdown:
