What Servo
 

Now the kids have grown up and flown the nest, Im starting out all over again.

Im just building an Associated B44 and was wondering what servo you guys in the know would suggest would be the best for the steering ?


In addition - what servo would you recommend for a TC5R Steering ? I have an old Acoms thing and its...well...... (you can fill this bit in yourself)

thanks in advance

For TC racing where weight is quite a big issue, low profile servo's are the ones to go for. I'm pretty happy with my Savox SC0252. Not sure on a servo for off-road, but I'm happy with the Savox SC1258 I occasionally run in my SC10.

I use a futaba brushless bls 451 in my b4 and its the best servo I have ever used, much better than the savox I think and much more precise, a little bit more expensive but not that big of difference.

My advice for what it's worth is spend as much as you can justify on a name that you know is good. Top of the range should come in £70 - £100 ish.

ive got the savox 1258 and think its great. Fast and strong. Gets my vote anyway

ACE 1015 around about 50-60 quid ish great servos

Savox SC-1258 and Sanwa ERZ-WZ get my vote.

Savox is now in my Cat SX and fits perfectly. I'd prob go for the Savox

MKS HV380. Stick it at 12V - lovely! (0.03s transit times anyone?:woot:)

Though more relevantly, Ace servos are good, but I'd definately recommend the Futaba BLS servos (451 would be closest to your needs). You'll find that people tend to buy one brand and then stick with it if it's successful. Any of the following with specs around 0.08-0.12s transit times, and 7+kg/cm torque would be absolutely hunky-dory.

-Futaba
-Sanwa
-Hitec
-JR
-Savox
-Ace

I'm sure there are some others too, but it's damn late.

For the B44 Savox 1258 - super fast and ultra reliable.

defo the savox;)
