Nobbi1977 1793 Posted March 6, 2015 We get a few threads wanting cheap as chips servos and I run them in my basher buggies and trucks but I am going to start my CC-01 and want something with a bit more fine control. I do not have money to burn but something that could come in about £20 posted should be doable. Any suggestions and links welcomed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveB 151 Posted March 7, 2015 Alturn every time. You can get a very nice metal geared high-torque servo for £18: http://www.modelsport.co.uk/alturn-usa-high-performance-race-servo-high-torque-/rc-car-products/359784 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Need to count the pennies now, a few things ending this weekend on eBay, if I do not win them I can start the Unimog :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drcarlos 57 Posted March 7, 2015 I'm trying out a tower pro mg high torque from eBay. I usually buy Carson standard servos but this was a whole pound more @£5 delivered i went for it. My boys hyper h2 has no servo saver it strips plastic gears so it needs something better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have the tower pro ones for my bashers, they are good but a bit slow and imprecise for a slow speed crawler I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XV Pilot 1936 Posted March 7, 2015 Another vote for the Alturn here. Given your needs and pricepoint, it should do the trick nicely. I haven't had any issues with my Alturn servos. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobbi1977 1793 Posted March 7, 2015 Great. About to order but thought about pinion. There site is terrible to navigate, any idea what steel pinion I need? I am going to start out running an 80t motor I have in the box Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XV Pilot 1936 Posted March 7, 2015 I have had excellent service from the mod .6 16t RW Racing steel pinion I have been running in mine for the last few years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GregM 1109 Posted March 7, 2015 I can recommend Savöx metal geared servos, even though they might not fit within your budget. I think a waterproof servo could be useful for your CC-01? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveB 151 Posted March 7, 2015 Alturn is waterproof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
