I'm now in the market for a fast car servo. It's for an offroad 2wd buggy... I've been researching, but I'm sure someone has some opinions on which is best? Thanks! :)

Airtronics 94357, or the KO PROPO 2123(that is just from what I have heard, I have actually experienced the 357, but not the 2123)

Do not count out the JR Digital servos either, they are nice also.

If you are going for cheap, check out the Hitec 925, i believe, it runs like 40 bucks, and it is a .08sec reaction time, and wtih a 2 year warranty, that is what I plan on getting for my truck

Thanks! Nice to hear from ya too! I'm not sure how cheap I'll go, but a fast servo is needed. :) In stock, one can get away with a slower servo at times. In mod... wow, you gotta be quick... and I'm faster than my servo at the moment. :) Time to step up!

Yep, like XXXER said, the KO PROPO 2123 is pretty much the best servo out (assuming cost is not a factor).

For around $80 you can get a JR 4750. It's a lot better than the numbers say & is very dependable. I also have an Airtronics 257 ( (predesessor to the 357) which has way faster numbers, but I can't tell the difference in the car. Just my $.02

Yes, that is about where I am. The 357 looks mighty fine. I've also been checking out their digital servos. Anyone using digi's?

I'm a huge fan of 357s, as you may know. That's all I'll use in any car, unless I need super-crazy-torque for turning huge wheels, then I'd get a 358.

Hey, I bought a brand new 357 on ebay for $75 a couple days ago! Can you say, "HAPPY DANCE!?" That's a great deal, bruthas. The last one I bought at my track was $110...
