Hi has anyone used a 8th scale servo in the 5th scale 8s kraton? All 5th scale servo seem pretty slow. Let me know what you guys run cheers

Nope.
It is NOT a thing.
Too small. K8s is like 30+ pounds.
And def. will NOT fit.
You have to spend beaucoup coin for a True 1/5 scale servo that is somewhat fast. The K8s is not that fast, so you don't really need a lightening fast servo. You want Torque. 100kg at a very minimum. .11-.17 would be considered fast for a 1/5 scale rig.

I run an 1/8th scale servo in my XRT and it rocks. I wish I could put one in my kraton 8s too lol.

The 80kg 180 degree one is the one I get. I actually JUST ordered another one to put into my Rovan F5 1/5th scale on road rig. I already have one in my MCD XR5 which is also a 1/5th scale on road rig and the wifey and I both have them in our traxxas XRT's. Amazing servo for only 60$ Much faster than the 60$ 1/5th scale servo everyone recommends around here.
