Best servo for the Kraton EXtreme Bash Roller

[Mr.Vylan]

Ordered my Kraton EXB Roller and I'm looking for recommendations for the servo.
I have the Spektrum SR6100AT Receiver and therefore need a digital servo.

I'm not opposed to getting a different receiver but want gyroscope technology. Since I use the Spektrum RC DX5C 5-Channel DSMR Surface Radio I also use the above receiver for the AVC.

considering one of these.

This would be my budget budget choice.

This is the one I just installed in mine. Haven’t ran it yet as I just put TL on a bunch of screws and going to let them cure before bashing, so it’s not an endorsement yet, just sharing what I went for.

 

[Mr.Vylan]

I ran across this on another post. Is the Hitec a viable option based on the comment below?

"Savox are ok, but their not near as smooth as a hitec. I have the Savox 1230, 1231, not brushless, not HV. just depends on your budget."

If you go for savox I highly recommend the 1212 it’s much better than the 1210 while having waterproof abilities

I'm pretty sure that is the one I have in my MT410 (just rebranded), and it is doing a stellar job.

It does say low price:
Low Price: $139.99

Protek 170TBl is a beast with way more torque you'll ever need, but pricey. Ive seen 1/5 scale guys run these in their rigs with no problems. The Protek 160 is less expensive but I don't have any experience with that one.
I have a Hitec D951tw in my Tekno MT410 and its has been flawless and takes a beating. very quiet too if that matters at all to you.

I have a few lower torque Savox servos and they've been great but they are super noisy and fidgety. Not sure if high torque ones act the same.

Hitech D951tw is just awesome in my Mt410. very quiet and smooth operation even using super grippy tires.

I too am looking for a new steering servo. What are the latest reccomendations? Any amazon ones?

These may be worth a look. Maybe wait until he does a review on them but the price is super low.

He is a little late to the game, these are recommended and have been used by many already.
Use the 25kg or higher, some prefer the 35kg version.
I'm using the DS3225 180 degree version, don't get the the 270 version.

There are many clones around, the one at the link has the most reviews and have 3 of them myself. Even if you blow 2 of them its still cheaper than a Savox.

I have the 1210 in my exb but be aware that I had to take the dremel to the aluminum servo mount to get it to slide into place due to the location of where the wires come out of it. Works well but is pretty noisy.

Running the Hobbystar 4521 high torque waterproof with a standard fit GKA servo mount. Bomber setup. On BLX185 @ 6v it’s 347 oz, jumps to 444 oz if your esc can run 7.4v. Picked up my for $35 on sale but now looks like $50. Still worth it. Lots of LHS folk talked me out of Savox...

I'm running a Protek Black Label 370tbl waterproof servo in my arrma kraton exb. It fits with no modification needed. It does sit on the floor though.

Savox is a waste of money... Your paying for the name, you can get the same performance for less $

The mid range Power HDs or the JX eco boost are great servos. Buy from AliExpress & you’ll pay around 1/2 what Amazon charges
