What car is it some cars you can fit larger servo's in. Some cars only take the smallest of small servo's.

If it's a Blaze or Shark variant then the Ino-Lab 261HB is the best you can buy, if you need a smaller or cheaper servo then the Savox 0257 is the one some people use.

You also want the micro XRay servo saver to go with it.

Thanks, I have the Xray Servo Saver, just need to get the servo itself. I'll have a look at those suggested, thanks.

Installed the Savox servo tonight to ready to run. however, the servo saver collars that come with the Xray kit do not have a small enough splined hole to fit onto the tiny splined shaft of the servo. I've had to run with a servo horn, so lets hope that the metal gears hold out as the previous servo with plastic ones failed in the first heat!!!

Does anyone know anyone who does servo savers specifically for the Savox servo SH-0257?
