RC10B4 Stealth, what servo speed and torque?
RC10B4 Stealth, what servo speed and torque?
My old servo is now broke but has no label on it so I could get a reference point of it's specs. Just getting back into using it from a 3 year absence. Any suggestions on what to get? I race now and then and also practice at the track.

Futaba 9551 is what I use. Works very well on 1/10 buggy!

I always liked these

for the price they're awesome servos. I have them in all of my offroad cars.

Totally ironic, I ordered this very one this morning.
Thanks for the ideas and suggestions.

I got one of these for my buggy, very cheap and has good specs, although I haven't run it yet. I use the higher torque version in my truck and it's been working well.

Checking the specs on these servos, and was wondering if I would notice the speed difference between .17 and .14.
This will be for use in a B4.
Thanks,
ED

Re: RC10B4 Stealth, what servo speed and torque?
Decided to go with the Futaba 9551.
On a side note, I think I found out why the RTR servo that came with my SC10 is so slow. The ESC only provides 1.5 amps for the BEC, when my Novak provides 3 amps which makes my original S148 from the 80s faster.

I just received theFutaba s9551, but it says Ni-Cd use only. Will there be any issues running it with a LiPo battery??

You'll be fine. We ran two of them i our VTA cars last year, and I've had one in my current 2wd offroad buggy for a while... all lipo powered, no problems.soniccj5 wrote:I just received theFutaba s9551, but it says Ni-Cd use only. Will there be any issues running it with a LiPo battery??

Re: RC10B4 Stealth, what servo speed and torque?
As stated above you should be fine. I'm guessing that's just a disclaimer for those that use a Lipo pack in their nitro vehicles. That's just speculation though. I can't imagine it making a difference in an electric in either case.soniccj5 wrote:I just received theFutaba s9551, but it says Ni-Cd use only.

I have not been able to test the servo out on the track, but I have to say, this thing is FAST!
