I used this $79 Ace Digital DS1313 servo on my truggy and it worked great. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/manufacturers_id/44/products_id/5994 I now use the DS1015.

thats prolly a great servo bruce but im down to like no money....so JR is the biggest bang for the buck right now
blue bird!! - rocco79 - 07-21-2006
Hey theres that "Bang for the buck" phrase again....
Jr's are great.... If you have the money airtronics has treated me great too... I like the speed and power of the ace sevos but ive seen 4-5 fail... Broken servo cases.... A 6 buck fix but it takes you outta the race...
blue bird!! - kevinF - 07-21-2006
thanks rocco......well im trying to get some jobs mowing lawn and once i do ill definately look up the airtronics
blue bird!! - satoch - 07-21-2006
Traxxas Thrasher, please tell me what you mean by, "best bang for the buck". It's seems there's some confusion as to the meaning of that phrase.
blue bird!! - FreeRideFrosty - 07-21-2006
It sounds like he has about $50 to spend and wants the best servo for that price.
I look at best bang for the buck as "If I buy a $100 servo I won't need to buy another one."
blue bird!! - satoch - 07-21-2006
So it's not the cheapest servo, but the best value for the dollar that offers the "best bang for the buck"?
blue bird!! - Ponch - 07-21-2006
Haha I see where this is going.
In this case, Bruce, your meaning of the phrase is being used. Best for the money.

bruce all i have is $50.......and the JR seems to me like its a great servo and will last a long time for the money.
blue bird!! - rocco79 - 07-21-2006
so the best performance that your money can buy right??? Thats what i look for too...
Traxxas hope you enjoy whatever you buy and i hope it gives you many runs of flawless operation
blue bird!! - kevinF - 07-21-2006
thanks rocco.....and yes im looking for the best performance my money can buy, also im gonig with JR because I have owned a couple JR servos and loved them, except the last one which blew within one month
blue bird!! - Tex - 07-21-2006
sounds like you just had a defective one, they can't all be perfect.
blue bird!! - kevinF - 07-21-2006
thats true.....well i sent it in, so hopefully they fix it for free
blue bird!! - satoch - 07-21-2006
Traxxas, I've got an Airtronics 358 that I just got back from them I'll give you for $70. PM me if interested.
blue bird!! - Michowski - 07-21-2006
Dont get the 358, its not the smoothest servo. Id go with the JR because they are a really above average company and I hear a lot of good stuff about them.
blue bird!! - Tex - 07-21-2006
Air servos are like this, they claim .10 speed and seem more like .15, JR claims .17 speed and seems more like .13 (From my experiences and others)
I have a Air359 I will sell you for $50, that's how much they suck. The 359 is in perfect working order, I would rather have a JR650z. Let me know if you want it for $50.

Tex, YGPM. LMK.

Mich-
I had one in the savage and it worked great... No problems
Wow... you really think they 359 sucks that bad?!?!? Hmmm ... too each his own i guess...
blue bird!! - Michowski - 07-21-2006
the 359 IMO is a huge improvement over the 358. I know there close to identical but I noticed a big difference. Not slow at all, holds its power, and overall just is awesome.
