Hi I am using the MG995 on the esavage. The stock servo simply cannot make it.

The MG995 is alot stronger than the stock servo. The speed should be enough for u unless U wanna make very fast and sharp turns..... that is if your truck wun topple over at the kind of speed that it is capable of.

[LittleGiant]

BUt do take note that the servo will overshoot or oscilate at every position.
It can be still used for trucks though.

Hmmm... Did some research and found that the digi 4 range of servos by multiplex seems to have very good specs at good prices (cheaper than futaba or sanwa about 25% less for similar specs).

How are mutliplex servos like? Reliable or not? Any known problems to multiplex servos?

[khpan2003]

thk LittleGiant, i intend to use this 995 for Savage also

so far most ppl advise is use the sanwa VR ot VX for the steering.. saying is good and cheap.. but both range at >$150
