#1 EcoPower servos | #1 Here is a list of EcoPower servos which is a great list budget-friendly with great performance for the price! – EcoPower WP110S (High Speed) 6.0V – 8.4V – @6.0V – 0.11/60° sec – 206 oz-in (14.8 kg-cm) – EcoPower WP115T (Low Profile) 4.8V – 7.4V – @6.0V – 0.10/60° sec – 127 oz-in (6.4 kg-cm) – EcoPower WP110T (High Torque)(Amazon) 4.8V – 6.0V – @6.0V – 0.16/60° sec – 280 oz-in (20.1 kg-cm) – All servos above are waterproof | Only on eBay WP110S High Speed WP115T Low Profile WP110T High Torque |
#2 Hitec D645MW | #2 On this list is the Hitec D645MW – What makes Hitec servos so good is the 2-year warranty (aka they are built to last) – Operation range 4.8V – 8.4V – @6.0V 0.20/60° sec – 158 oz-in (11.3 kg-cm) – A little on the slow end a little on the weak end but build to last – Good Programmable Functions – 1M Cycle Long Life Potentiometer | On Amazon On eBay |
#3 ProTek RC 160T | #3 is the pure performance – well at least the highest I would recommend going ProTek RC 160T (Low Profile) – Operation range 4.8V – 7.4V – @6.0V 0.08/60° sec – 216 oz-in (15.5 kg-cm) – This is what the top racer would be using but for the price, it’s hard to recommend it over EcoPower WP115T Low Profile – Full aluminum case – Comes with one of the best aluminum servo horns on the market – The bottom line is it will be hard for you to be disappointed with this servo in your slash 4×4 | On Amazon On eBay |
#4 Traxxas 2075X | #4 is the #1 recommended replacement by Traxxas – Just hard to disagree with the manufacturer Traxxas 2075X (the metal gear makes it a great upgrade over stock) – @6.0V 0.17/60° sec – 125 oz-in – not really much to say – This is just like the servo that came in your Traxxas Slash 4×4 but beefed up with metal gears – around $50 IMO a bit overpriced for the performance – you can get double the torque with EcoPower WP110T (High Torque) and cost less – Both servos are waterproof | On Amazon On eBay |
Any 25T off-brand servo | #5 on this list is for the price and just a servo to make things work till you can afford the ones above. – Operation range 4.8V – 6.8V – The rating of these servos are good but hard to trust off-brand numbers – Around @6.0V 0.15/60° sec – 290 oz-in – Metal Gear and waterproof – usually can find under half the price | On Amazon On eBay |
What is the stock Servo operation voltage on the Slash 4x4?
The stock voltage of the BEC is 6.0V - this means even if you run an 11.1v lipo your servo will run at 6.0V - that is why if you look at the list all stats are for the 6.0v range.
