I have been looking at several different models but I cannot really decide on which servo to use to upgrade my blitz.
I have been rockin the team associated high end servo with something like 200 ounces of torque. It was the single greatest upgrade I have done to date on my slash. it handles the track so much better now.
welcome mrshortcourse!
Been agonizing the servo choice for my blitz too! It comes down to 3 factors for me: price/torque/speed
Basically get the fastest/most torquie servo you can for your budget. The 2WD Blitz prolly won't need 201.4 oz/in of torque that a 4x4 would but I wouldn't go much less than 120oz/in - the more the merrier here! I think speed is more important if I had to compromise. No sense in having tons of power that isn't delivered quick enough. Also, I'm only considering the ones with metal gears for durability reasons.
Do you know what servo comes stock in the blitze RTR?
i run a 2056 waterproof servo in my rustler VXL, i think waterproof servos are a must because they will get moist running in dirt or mud as well as a servo saver is a good combo in any truck!!
Ive been using a Traxxas 2075. Its endured countless hours of bashing and two Wisconsin winters with no problems.
From experience I would recommend the Savox 1258 to anyone. 12kg of torque & 0.08 sec/speed
but they come at a cost of about £50 which is around about $75 I think :)
well worth it though in my opinion!
I have a couple from savox and can't say a bad thing about them
Spektrum or Savox has good 1/10 sized servos for cheap. Or even turnigy now.
I use the S6040 Digital Surface Servo - High Speed. They have a high torque version too
High speed has
167 oz/inch at .08
Titanium gears
$79.99 Horizon
the High Torque version
278 oz/inch at .15
Titanium gears
$84.99
Pricey, but you get what you pay for with these
i run a high torque servo in my truck its a tpro from hobbypartz never let me down slow but i like the torque it gives to move my tires
