Little pricey for what you get.

These servos are the Hitec 5955 with different stickers on them. They are super reliable. I put one in my monster truck per recommendations on this site.

Remember you can use the Tower coupons to save even more.

I paid less than that for my Savox 1230sg

Which do you guys believe is better?

I would like to get something for my TRX4 prior to it failing on me.

After coupons, its $67 for a servo made by Hitec (relabled 5955) with specs nearly equal to a $100 7955. I bought one in 2008 that is still going strong.

Seems like a pretty good deal to me.

That's a good question.

Savox 1290 or go home...

I love these servo debates. Let's keep this one going forever.

In all reality, I'd be totally happy with that servo for $67. Seems like a decent deal and if I didn't have a pile of extra servos laying around I might try one out.

Under 400, and not fast even at 6v.
If it will work for you if will be good, the 1230 or 1231 has it beat, even couponed

Seems like we have a new servo debate weekly.

buy whatever works for you. I was posting this up for a servo that has worked great for me. I have one more on the way. I had a Savox broke. Try getting parts for it. Their customer service, sucks from my experience. I have yet to have one hitec fail on me. I got one that was broke in a truck I bought. had it fixed by them great customer service. So that's what I've been using

You can probably find this cheaper on eBay. But its the same servo as above.

But I am home! :lmao:

This would work well in your SMT10. I put two in my Monster Bolt for 4 wheel steering.

I have one in my Shafty and one in my Pro. I have one on the way for my SMT10. I'm addicted to the power now. I used to be a 7950 advocate. The 2290 just beats it in every way so far.

I actually drove my SMT10 the other day around my basement. It was glorious!
