Default What servo do you use? Tenth Off-Road

Looking to find out what the best, good value servo to use? I bought an Alturn 750MG for £18 and I think I'm regretting it...

Ace 1015
Ace 1313 are great servos
Most of the savöx ones you can't go wrong with and they are a great price
Futaba
Hitec

Servos aren't really something you should skimp on as it makes a noticable difference and get a good one and they can last for ages

Just took it apart to see if there was anything odd going on. The gears look lovely quality - all metal and nicely made. However a couple of the gears were rubbing against each other and one was laying flat on part of the plastic casing. Add to this that the whole lot was covered in a very sticky white grease. Very sticky!

So, I cleaned all the white goo off and shimmed the gears so nothing was rubbing and - WOW! Faster, centered well and even noisier than before! Worked though!

I'll still keep a lookout for a replacement. Perhaps a wanted ad would be an idea.
