Hey Gary, here’s a thread which has some good suggestions. https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/kraton-8s-servo-options.20691/ I run a 70kg from Banggood, most will run the very similar one from Primal RC. You will need the 1/5 scale receiver box/servo mount from Arrma as the stock one is too small for a proper 1/5 scale servo.

I use the primal rc one and have no complaints

I've just got this one...
Not tried it yet, just waiting on a few parts before my install begins..
Don't forget, if you use a true 1/5 servo you'll need the servo/receiver box too ARA320553...??

And they also have this one...

Still finishing my rebuild, but do make sure to pick a waterproof one- many of them aren’t (like the Spektrum above), though don’t necessarily advertise it

I'm not sure, it doesn't say right on it so Id say no. I usually only go through an occasional puddle and its been ok. Mainly like it because of its 8.4volt rating.

All of those China servos are same poop with different sticker on them .

Compared to all the servos not made in China? I suppose Taiwan or Malaysia maybe. I suspect the same is true of the vast majority of servos. All I know is the $15 ones I get from Banggood beat the hell out of the stock ones that come with any RTRs I have.
