Drop in fit steering servos.

[Tisane]

Ok so my steering servo just went up in smoke
No matter how much I've looked I cannot find a definitive answer to what servo/s will simply drop in with no issues or mods.
So who has changed out their steering servo and what servo did you use.

i wound up with an hitec HS805MG servos the drop right in no problem and they are steel geared only thing is they have bigger and less teeth on the gear so stock servo arms don't work and they are only about $60/servo

 

[Marky]

Savox is essentially a losi servo and drops right in. No issues and performs flawlessly. Well worth the $$. Fewer teeth on the horn spline but the stock Losi 5t horn mounts right on, is aluminum and comes with a threaded arm.

Cheers for that guys I had a feeling it was going to be a toss up between Hitec and Savox.
I popped down my local shop and they had both Hitec and Savox, I've gone for the Savox 0235 for the moment, when funds allow I'm going to grab a 0236 and swap them, using the 0235 for throttle and brake and 0236 for steering.

in order to see the full potential from the Savox servos (0235, 0236, 0240, 0241), you'll need to obtain a 7.4 LiPo battery to replace the stock 6V battery. When selecting the a battery, be sure the size is correct for the battery box and the connectors are the same. Another solution is to get a larger batter box and battery:

I have 6 V stock battery.The other servo is...stock. Can be any problems if I use LiPo ? I read on other forum..."do not use LiPo" battery on DBXL.Tks.

The stock Spectrum servos in the DBXL are not rated for 7.4V LiPo.

I use 7.4 in my stock DBXL and it was fine yes is not rated for it but it does work

 

[Whoduh]

Same here. 7.4v lipo. No issues.
