if you want a quality servo in there for racing go with a futaba 9451. Very fast and great holding power.

[email][email protected][/email] about $80 and it's well worth it. It steered my supermaxx no problem and is currently in the Revo.

It should whip a Gas Truck around very easily.

not sure why a link popped up?????

Yep, that's the guy. sometimes they go cheaper, like that one, but it's hit& miss. If you want one for $86 just email him and he'll send you a Paypal invoice. Pay him and it shows up ten days later. No more eBay hassling.

I watched and bid on about 6 of his and kept getting beat at the last 4 seconds. I finally figured I was wasting more time and decided to just buy it from him. $86 was $75 plus $11 for insured shipping.

just follow Maxx's link to eBay and use eBay to send a "question to seller" of that item he linked. The seller used to be on eBay as CTY300, you might recognize that name. I bought CVD's from him in the past. Email him some vague question, and when he replies you can offer him an offsite buy. Since the deal comes through a paypal request, you still have some protection.

His email is [email protected]

the 359 has all metal gears and has a heat sink in the case. The 358 has 1 plastic gear inside and no heat sink.

Yep, and you can upgrade the gears to all metal if they ever fail. The case is another matter.
