I have a EB-4 and I am not satisfied with my hitec 615mg. It is too slow to compete at my local track. Do any of you have any suggestions on a good steering servo for around $100.00 give or take twenty. Thanks

Look at some of the Hitec digitals, the high end JRs, or one I've had great luck with, the Airtronics 94358.

I use an Airtronics 358 on my 7.5 and it works great. Torque 200 in/oz Speed .10

I would say the 94258 from airtronics but they discontinued it and now its the 94358. that is the one to get. I am using the 258 in my emaxx and soon to be mp6 and it can turn the tires on carpet. So it should have plenty of power to turn wimpu 1/8 wheels. hehe.

I have used Futaba S-9302's in my older cars for years with no troubles. In the new cars, we are using Futaba S-9303's also with no real problems. They both have one plastic gear, that acts like a "fuse", to prevent damage to the servo motor. If this gear strips, don't buy the gearset for the S-9303; it is almost as much as the servo. Use the gearset from an S-32 servo...under $4 bucks!

Thanks everyone for the advice. I think I am going to go with the airtronics 94358. Will it be compatible with my Hitec DCX receiver?
