I run Hitech Servo's in my trucks. My XL has the MG-685 and some of my others have MG-645(lil cheaper side) these are all metal geared. I have had no issues with them. As for the XL SF-5 I heard they have some plastic inside of it still. Think it was TBasher that somehow stripped his. I'd say get a MG-645 or if you have the cash MG-685.. . Of course other companies make metal geared servos like ACE(can be pricey) JR(about Hitech's prices)..

Hey Anthony, you'll get a lot of good advice from the experienced peeps here on that question... just wanted to say welcome to hpisf if i haven't already & say that the paint on your street car is pretty sick bro...nice r/c's

Side note.... you have a fusion 28.. [jealous meter on]

 

[anthonysavage46]

i love that fusion 28 it cost me a small fortune in parts as its so fast it crashes into everything with the larger wheels the fusion will reach 100mph 😀
were can i get the mg-645 or mg-685

www.amainhobbies.com has the HS-645mg servo, But i bought mine at my LHS www.hobbyfever.com. Ebay will have them as well. Part numbers are HS-645MG and HS-685MG(more torque, but more money)

 

[anthonysavage46]

the hs-645mg is a good price but no hs-685mg on ebay 🙁

 

[Shaun]

ya cant go wrong with the hitec 645mg its a good servo for the money!!!!

 

[anthonysavage46]

i have got myself a 2700 mah hump pack will the 645 mg work ok with that hump pack?

 

[Shaun]

i don't see why it wouldnt!!!!

 

[Mickey]

anthony as long as that 2700 mah hump pack is 6 volts the hitec will be just fine its also what i run for steering servos in both of my trucks

 

[Judicator]

I'm sorry anthony i dropped the ball its HS-985MG not HS-685MG

 

[-olllllllo-]

personally, i use and recomend the ace ds1015. i would think with that beeeeg truck you might want a great servo.

unless the $$$ scare ya, it was about $100.00


i run that for both servos, no probs at all.

i use a brand called jr sport i think it is its cheaper then the hitech. Works great for me stripped one in the three years i have used this brand. My lhs carries them Hobby town usa. if you are interested i can get you some more info on this servo
