KO 2123 = Fantastic servos

I`ve got one in both my cars and loads of others seem to use them.

Can pick up a second hand one from Ebay for approx £40

Yup, and they'll fit any car on the market!

I think KO also has a low profile servo for those who prefer that brand.

I personally think a fast strong servo is probably the best thing you can do to help the handling of you car. In that case: Jr 9000s and 9100s
Both digital, metal gears. 9100 has 180oz torque, 0.06 seconds --9000 same speed but only 128oz. both at 6.0v.

blue bird seem good ones, they look cool (see through) and are cheap and fast with metal gears.

they would probably not be very good with an off-road though

Yes, that's right! The 9551 has now taken over for the 9550...

Used the servo today. Seems pretty good. May not be as quick as some, but plenty quick enough for me. Quite heavy though? Car seems v nose heavy (lipos in a B44 certainly not helping!).

Don't forget the Sanwa ERG series.

Ultra strong, ultra precise and above all : ultra reliable.
