Quite right!

Always Futaba in my cars. BLS451, S9451 and S9550 are the current fleet and have served me well in a variety of cars. The S-series servos are about 5 years old now, I've broken the sacrificial plastic gear in one of them once, so probably worth grabbing a spare first gear for your pitbox if you can.

There have been a lot of faddy servos over the years that promise high speed and low cost, after a little while everyone realises that they weren't up to the job. Savox may perform well but they are power hungry and cause a lot of electrical issues - really not worth the hassle.
