Servo replacement!!

[Pepaw18]

I have a Vorteks and going to replace stock servo. What is a good but budget friendly servo. I have seen and heard about the ones on Amazon. Some are 20kg and 25kg. Will these work on my Vorteks.

Yep

 

[Pepaw18]

Yep

Are they easy to switch out? Which one would be better 20 or 25kg?

Are you sure mine is a 23 servo savo. Thought they needed a 25tooth saver

Look in your manual.. at the parts diagram and see what the number is!

It says the stock servo is 23 and these on Amazon say the require 25. So that way I'll get and see.

This is what I put on mine a while back and have had no issues... You will need the servo saver in picture to fit 25 tooth servo

On jennysrc.com you can get the s652 servo from the 6s line for 16 bucks. It’s great in the 3s line, drops right in and is 23t. Also pick up a couple or more steering assemblies, includes the bellcrank, bearings, link and servo saver for less the 3 bucks. Here’s the links.

Ugh, I tried that one and it lasted 4 runs and the spring broke. Not worth it for the price

Has your 25t softened up over time? I’ve never tried one out. I haven’t ever had a 23t Arrma saver break. They just get weak, the plastic bell crank and link also get weak and bearings crunchy. Which is why I swap them out when steering begins to suffer.
