Best servo for XB?

[ChuenouXiao]

What is the best servo for the XB? Regarding the steering servo and the accelerating and breaking servo? Hitech? What kinda of torque should I look for? I want precision when it comes down to steering...and a lot of torque. I want to corner very well. Please give me the best you know of out there in the market.

For the XB, I'd go with a Hitec 5755 for steering and 645 or a 5645 for throttle/brake.

Steering:

Hitec 5755MG (Rhino) Digital Steering Servo

Throttle/Brake:

Hitec HS-645MG Throttle Servo

OR

Hitec HS-5645MG Digital Throttle Servo w/ Metal Gears

I have the HS-5645 MG Hitech for throttle.... Why do you choose these servos?

I've had nothing but good experiences with the 5755 and the 5645.

What are the stock steering servo spec difference comparing to the Hi Tech Servo you are talking about?

How come Ol farte from 7075rc isn't responding? He mentioned something about reminding him about thread size when ordering adapters. I ordered two HPI adapter for my XB (other for my bro in law) and there's no way to contact him about my thread size. I don't know my thread size!

 

[Deluge1]

Measure the diameter of the thread with a digital caliper or micrometer. That'll give you your thread size.

I run the 805bb for my steering and couldn't be happier...

They are a lil cheaper then then above mentioned, I also have dual steering though, not sure if you do...

I use the same throttle servo mentioned as well, Good Stuff !
