Dont see why not. Metal gears (somewhat), ball bearing, small.... A little slow.

I would go after this: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJYT8&P=ML

This is what I run in my B4. Very fast!

Bummer it is discontinued. I ran it in my ZX-5 too, makes more room for tight applications.

i need it to be low profile, but the futaba is pretty expensive. i see what you mean about the other one beeing kind of slow though.

The replacement s9551 should be out any day now. Same size, same price and more torque and speed. :) A GREAT servo for any electric car application.

If you have been using the s3003, than this will be a step up for you in size and performance. Go for it!

I have both a Hitec 77BB and a GWS IQ-500MG as low profile servos in use. I actually think that the GWS is a bit better.

I did not check the data or compare the Data to the futaba though.
