Are there any servos out there that are better for the price than the Hitec 805MG? for around $50?


Something I've noticed about metal gear servos, they always seem to have one nylon gear in them, so when the car suffers a catastropic collision, the steering servo still fails.


Also, I'd like to be able to reuse the factory servo horn if at all possible. Does anyone know which brand servos are compatible with it?

Thanks Deluge, I looked into the S3306, the Hitec seems to have it beat on all angles, except price. Do you know if the factory servo horn wil work with the S3306MG? How about the Hitec 805?
 
The stock servo horn won't fit the Hitec. Might fit the Futaba, can't guarantee it though. You're better off using the horns that come with the aftermarket servos. The stock horns are weak. It didn't take long for mine to strip out.
