External bec

Savox 1257tg . Do I need external BEC or glitch buster to use this servo in talion.

Check the values of you're esc.
The servo works between 4,8-6V and 4-5A. If you're esc have enough power (A) then you need nothing.

Savox servos seem a little power hungry, I would just run it, and see how it works. It's not a HV servo, so you don't want to push more than 6.0v

You will need an external BEC:

BEC Voltage 6V
BEC Current 3A

Not enough according to this chart

Cool , thanks. I'll wear out stock one 1st.

Servo specs

• Speed @ 6.0V: 0.07 sec/60°
• Torque @ 6.0V: 138 oz-in / 10 kg-cm

I would recommend a different servo, stock servo has more power than that.

i did not notice that!
But indeed this servo fits my Fury, which is 1/10th scale.

Well noticed @Timritchieblue!

Concrete/asfault/street basher my talion well be, running solo most of time.stock servo should be sufficient? Is there a better servo that doesn't need a glitch buster. Best way to add buster to my system, already have fan plugged into stock ESC.

I cannot recommend a specific servo, however there are basically two reasons to upgrade the stock servo:

1. if there is a delay noticeable between you giving the steering input, and the car actually changing direction
2. sponge like steering, because the servo has difficulty directing the big wheels in rough terrain. You need more torque

The first one can be solved by buying a faster servo. And speed = huge increase of power consumption. More torque does not necessarily.

The stock 1/10 servo is for me too slow. But I occasionally race my Fury, where this is very noticeable. The average basher would not even notice a thing. So this is very personal!

Is there a better than stock servo that doesn't need a glitch buster? Don't be shy.

I would work on stiffening/replacing the servo mount before spending a lot time looking at replacement servo specs. I got a fast high torque servo for my monster typhon all it did was flex the servo mount "faster" I swear the extra speed made it handle worst because the flex was even more pronounced than before. The NERO is way heavier, but because there is no flex or binding in the steering geometry; it actually carves corners better than my outcast or the monster tyhpon.

I run a Hitec 7954 if mine. It will have a BEC soon, but I also use the HW MAX8 ESC. It seems to be doing fine so far.

1210sg im using without glitch buster and works awesome....had to replace stock servo cause big tires and plastic mount striped the stockservo....no problems after alu mount and the 1210sg

Hello,

To chime in, I just ordered the aluminium servo mount, but I want a more torque servo.Something not to pricey. Does anyone have any recommendations? Or do you think the stock servo will work with the new mount. The car just wasn't turning right on grass. To much resistance

@Yodaman
Do you already checked the servo saver?
My Big Rock have that while steering in both directions because of the other wheels.
The servo turns but the saver gives the play. I fear to make the saver too strong that the result will be a damaged servo.
