Default Steering Servos

Hi all, I've been reading around and come to the conclusion the Savox SC-1258tg is the steering servo to have for 1/10 buggies? Is there anything else on a similar par ie quality/speed? I wanted to spend around £40 on the steering servo so buying new it's a little over my budget. I'm looking around for a decent used one but if I don't find anything what else is there to consider? Or should I just bit the bullet and buy one new?

Thanks
Nick

Haha cheers bigt, I used hitec's in my helicopters and I agree, they are great servos! I'll have a look at the 8330sh but price wise there isn't much difference? And it runs at a higher voltage? (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Cheers

Futaba all the way for me. Bls451 standard size, bls551 low profile.

Savox are power hungry, hitec had a poor reputation in the past.
