Big Rock Servo - Traxxas TRX2075x compatible?

[TheNewbie]

Hello,
I am quite new to the rc world and just ordered the Big Rock V3.
Read some people recommend having a spare servo or upgrade the stock servo right away. A friend would sell his Traxxas servo for a few bucks. (https://hobbiesdirect.com.au/Traxxas-High-Torque-Metal-Geared-Waterproof-9kg-Servo-2075X)

Is the Traxxas TRX 2075x servo (metal gear) a good option?
What else do I need to make it work with the Big Rock?

Thanks for your help

Well, it is a fairly weak servo at only 9kg/cm, has only average speed at 0.17sec @ 6v, and it is a 25t servo while the stock servo is 23t which will require you to buy a new 25t servo saver also if you use this servo. But most aftermarket servos are 25t and unless you buy another Spektrum servo you will need a new 25t servo saver anyway.

How much are you getting for it? You can get a 20kg servo on Amazon for $16 (or less if you buy them in bulk).

Ok, thanks for your quick replies. I can buy the Traxxas servo for 10€, but does not seem to be worth the hassle.

There are a lot of servos from unknown brands to choose from (https://www.amazon.de/s?k=servo+25kg&__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&ref=nb_sb_noss_2).

Any recommendation for a newbie?
