You can check out Hitec's Website (http://www.hitecrcd.com) for all the information you will need.

Its 91oz @ .13 running on six volts.. which if put in your touring car should be JUST fast enough for you to under shoot the corners and bust an A arm or 2 :) Just kiddin'.

Get that EMaxx yet?

Interceptor, I'm not usually one to bash products, buet in this case I feel I should share my experience with the 605's. I bought a new one not too long after I started in the hobby because the numbers looked so good, at a very reasonable price. What I found though was a lot less impressive. It was better than a stock Futaba S148, it was a little bit faster & had more torque, but it would not center consistently. I ran it for a while trying everything I could think of to make it better, & finally bought another one. It acted exactly the same way. I finally bought what my son & most of the local fast guys were running & I couldn't believe the difference! It instantly made me a better driver & allowed me to be a lot more consistant. My advive is to spend a few bucks more & buy a decent coreless servo. It doesn't have to be digital. You can buy a JR4750 for about $80, & you will not regret it. We have bought abot 7 or so 4735's, an older version of the 4750. About half of them were used when we bought them, & none of them have so much as stripped a gear. I know it's hard to justify spending that much on a servo, but once you run one you'll never go back. Just my $.02 Joe

Yep, I agree, the JR 4721 and 4735 (same servo, different gear set) are rock solid reliable. I have 2 that I bought a zillion years ago that are still going strong. One has been in my RC10-GT for years and years. We all know how hard nitro trucks are on stuff ;)
I think the Hitec HS-5625MG is a better value anyway (than the 605). Tower is selling them for $55.00 and they are digital, metal gears, 93/.13 ...

Railman, Funny I thought I was the only one haveing a hitec 605 with centering problems. I can only agree with the problems you say you are having After buying a JR 4750 all my worries are gone.

I just put a 5625 in my FTT3, seems to work very well.

Thanks guys, but I'm not sweating it, I got one in a trade a while back and just dug it out, and I was wondering what uses I could have for it since it said high torque. I'll find something for it. Maybe I'll stick it in nsanes car when hes not looking...
