Felony Suggested Servo replacement for Felony

[Mr.Vylan]

I have another post started that involved an issue that was ultimately caused by the factory Servo.

I'm now left with the decision to :

1. Purchase the factory Servo
2. Purchase an aftermarket Servo

The question is, does it makes sense to stick with the factory part or upgrade. And, what does UPGRADE even mean?

Upgrading your servo will give more torque to turn the wheels and be slightly faster. If running the blx esc get a servo that gives you all it has at 6.0v. Im a big fan of overpriced Savox servos. The 1230SG is a pricey beast that delivers 500T at 6v. It is taller than a standard servo and will require spacers or a different servo mount. Plenty of other fine servos out there in the world that I know nothing about. Im sure others will chime in. If being waterproof like the factory servo is of paramount concern, make sure your new servo is listed as such.

Sounds good and I'm also a fan and owner of Savox products. I was surprised to see that the stock servo is analog.

The only issue with this servo is that it is 6.4mm taller.

AR390139
40mm wide
20mm deep
38.5mm tall

Yup. You either have to make some spacers or get a servo mount for a "tall" servo. The other alternative would be to find a standard height servo with high torque/speed.

You can get faster speed and the same torque for a fraction of the price on Aliexpress with the chinese servos. they are waterproof, aluminium and take a beating. I run them in my bashers and take big air jumps and they keep turning my wheels without issues. They are super cheap sometimes 2 for 25. ?‍

Located the correct size and will not need to modify. Thanks for all of the advice.

I run the 2270SG in my Neros, Kraton EXB, Infraction and Felony. Top notch stuff.

I run a Futaba S9373. Look for something with more speed than torque than what you'd use on a Kraton or a monster truck with big wheels. I'd look for at least a 0.08 transit time with 300+ oz of torque. 0.16 is SLOW

yeah, that is a great servo. basically what I got.

What servo did you end up going with @Mr.Vylan?
