Been out of the game for a while...I want a new servo for my new oval car....What do you guys recommend...I have a PCM radio so I aasume that digital is out>>> what is a good non digital servo to use???

Currently I have a Futaba S9601..

Why is digitial out?

I thought for digital servo you needed HRS radio??? or do I have it backwards... is it HRS radio MUST use digital??

I use PCM and I run futaba S9650, good mix of speed/torq/weight

..........Currently I have a Futaba S9601..You don't need a new servo!! I still run a 9601 in one of my cars & it works awesome, plenty of torque & I slow mine down because it is too fast.

Futaba 9650. or if you like a slower smooth servo, the 9602 sail plane works well too.

I've got a JR 7005 and a Futaba 9550 ands use a M8 radio.... the 7005 is 6years old and hasn't missed a beat... the 9550 is new and i realy do like it alot. Several told me i would need a reciver pack with the 9550, haven't so far. It's realy nice and smooth...

I've been using the 9550 for the past year. Great servo. Haven't needed to use a receiver pack and that's with 4 cell.

when I first got into pan cars for oval racing, A friend sold me his spare KO 947 fet digital servo. small, light, good torque, and fast, till recently I ran my ATL @ 50% then went to 75% and now I run 100%.
It retail betwen $60-$70 but I feel it is well worth the cost.
I tried the hitec servos that others have recomended mostly because of the cost. I know lots of racers love them, but I hated mine, it just would not center consistantly, for me, the guy I sold it too loves it tho...I just have bad luck with the cheeper stuff I guess.
Back to the KO 947, some call it a waste because you paying for the smaller package and weight, and with the newer weight breaks, this is un needed, however, bear in mind, the lighter you car is once the essentials are in place, having to add weight is a bonus, you can add it where it helps your car turn and handle better...the servo cant be moved easily, but some coins or lead weight are simple to move around, something to consider is all.
figure out your budget, then download some tech pages of servos that fit your budget and check out all the specs...weight size, speed tork..and cost..also something to keep in mind is spped can be shaved or added to a torky servo shave spped with a small, servo savor, and add it with a large one...just be sure you dont go overboard on the strength of the srvo savors spring, compared to what the servo can handle, or the savor can become a destroyer.

I have had my best luck w/ futaba 9550 or 9650 is a little smaller but just a bit less tourqe than the 9550, i run the 9650 works great in mod for me.

I'm currently running a 9550,very precise and accurate,nothing wrong with the 9601 though.

What Frank P. Said! 9550!

9650 in both Custom works cars.

Futaba 9650 :thumbsup:

Has anyone tried the 9350? I just picked one up from Tony/Tornado Racing off ebay. This will be my first digital servo.
