Redcat steering servo

[cagcig]

So, my grandson broke his car. He is going to have to work to get a new servo. Is there a better alternative than the stock one?

Which redcat does he have?

Do you know how strong the redcat one is? There are cheaper options out there that may be similar strength. Like this one Injora Servo

The specs actually aren't too bad on that stock servo if they are close to accurate. Might be worth buying just to not potentially have to screw with anything.

The Injora servo rattlewagon linked is only a 6V servo which might not be enough depending on the voltage the stock ESC is putting out. Here is a better Amazon option that is a little stronger and faster than the stock servo and still cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/ANNIMOS-Coreless-Steering-Stainless-Waterproof/dp/B0C69BXL6V

The listing for the Redcat servo doesn't list the spline count of the output but pretty much all servos come with horns. The only issue might be if the redcat needs a very specific length or offset on the servo horn and it doesn't have the more common 25T output that you can swap on to the aftermarket servos.

All that said, the cheap Amazon servos, and most stock servos aren't "good," but it probably isn't worth putting a good servo on the truck for a kid.

I run Savox in everything.

Thanks for the responses. I told him to stop doing the moving the wheels back and forth real fast thing. Mine is still working fine. Already breaking parts at 10. Now he has to work to pay for his own broken things.
