Outcast Cheap decent steering servo

[robl45]

I had ds3218mg steering servo that just died. I was about to order another one, but wondering if anyone had any other recommendations? I'm looking for 20 dollars or less.

Yep, that’s about it for a $20 unit.. Sometimes they die ... ??‍ But usually pretty decent for $20.

 

[robl45]

Yes it was fine, figured it would last longer though, my son doesn't drive the truck much. But it works fine to control the backflipping he does

 

[Rcproponent]

Did you set the end points? If you exceed the allowable by the car. Basically, the servo May have more more swing than the car does thus putting extra strain on the servo when the cars limits are hit. Does this make sense ?? Haha

 

[robl45]

Yes of course. I got 34 years in Rc. The kid just beats the hell out of this thing.

I've been using DS3225 25KG servos with good luck and recently ordered a few SPT5435 35 KG servos to try out and so far they are working well. Paying about $13 a servo from banggood - just buy a whole bunch and keep them in the parts bin for when one dies.

don't get the coreless versions at least the 25kg coreless blue servo from DS a lot of give before it holds. I would have recommanded the ds3218pro because its fast and claims 23kg at 6v but mine has trouble turning on the ground on a dead stop and you can hear the servo fighting the tires
