ae-2 servo the same as a ae-3?

i assume you are taking about the steering servos, the ae-2 in your thread title is the esc number 
the axial web site says the as-2 has 130ozs of torque @ 6V and the as-3 has 132ozs of torque @ 6 V yes the case is a little different but i have also seen some specs on other web sites say the as-2 has 90ozs of torque @ 6V i would think the axial specs from the axial web site are the right specs but you could send axial an e-mail to confirm the actual specs, just a thought.

Both servos are weak sauce. Just grabbed a savox 1256 and saw what i was missing. A good servo may end up being expensive but worth it to replace frustration with performance.

The AS2 servo, for what it is, is not actually that bad for a RTR servo.
There is a link in the electronics section that you will have to search up,
and tells of a ball bearring mod that fits right in, (standard sized)
and eliminates the slop of the OEM bushing.
Its that inital slop, that causes them to fail far too soon.
Post that link here, if and after you find it! "thumbsup"
As far as the AS3, thats news to me...
Havent bought an Axial RTR in quite a while. (nor would I ever again.....)
go figure?

Post up the specs on that servo, please.
Where you bought it too!
Oh, and whats your idea of an expensive servo?
Thats a bit objective, but your right.
Ya kinda get what you pay for, when it comes to servos!
(if you avoid over-priced, under-powered Futaba stuff anyway LOL!)

I have a few of those AS-2's,
and I cant swear for sure they have all of 130 ozin of torque...
But they sure as the sun shines have more than 80-90!
(European markets may vary, was it USA RTR/KIT specs you found?)
Save for the bushing mod, they are close to a 35-40 buck
Hitec HS645MG on specs.
HELL, I was going to shove the two extra AS-2 servos I have
in my stock ClodBuster on axal mount plates,
just to give them a shot at glory! (MOA/4WS)
Wouldnt waste my time doing it if I didnt think
they could handle a bit of that......
They took quite a beating in my SCX's and Wraith,
enough so, that they were going in the Clod anyway?

X1256tg. Titanium gears, 277 oz of torque at 6 volts, 79.99 at lhs. Most Ive ever spent on a servo so I consider that expensive. The only thing is its digital which is codespeak for noisy as all getout.

Cool, and thanks.
Think I might have to look into these a little closer.
Glad you mentioned that codespeak issue also.
I have a few Hitec digital servos,
and damn they are LOUD too!
Would almost think they were busted or something
for all the noise....

That is a super deal. I couldnt find those anywhere for less than 100. They wouldnt be discontining it, would they? At that price you could grab three and have a replacement every five years!

For a short while Savox is doing a promo on their new SA 1230SG servo. 500 oz/inch @ 6.0 volts.
Savox SA1230SG Digital Servo
I'm currently running a 1268 and consider it plenty strong, but I'm tempted to try out the new one that I presume is the same as a 1268 with different gearing to trade speed for torque.

Be careful of the depth of that new Savox. 45mm might be too long to fit some applications. Helluva deal, though.

I installed a castle BEC for the first time. I set it to 6V with the castle link.
After set up was complete my AS-3 axial servo seemed to be a little louder than without the BEC. Started to do some light crawling everything was working fine. 5 minutes in the servo stops working and upon inspection the servo was very hot. Now I am afraid to run my new 7955TG not knowing for sure if there is something wrong with the BEC of my installation of it, or was it just to much voltage for the already weak servo?
Should I have been running the AS-3 at 4.8V ?
