Metal Gear Servos

Recommended Servos


The following metal-geared servos start around $25.00-$30.00, and will give you much better results and durability than a cheap plastic servo.

Metal-Geared Servos



* The Cirrus CS-60 has been discontinued.
** The Cirrus CS-80 is made for 1/8 scale buggies, and requires modification to the front body mount. It has also been discontinued.
*** The Futaba S9404 has been discontinued.
**** The Hitec 605MG has been discontinued and replaced with the Hitec 625MG.
***** The Hitec 615MG has been discontinued and replaced with the Hitec 645MG.



As mentioned in the notes above the Cirrus CS-80 was designed for 1/8 scale buggies. Therefore it is slightly larger than the rest of the servos on this list. I am of the understanding that this requires that you cut only a small portion of the front body mount away, but I can't speak from first hand experience on this. Below is a picture that demonstrates the size difference between the Cirrus CS-60, a standard 1/10 servo, and the CS-80.




Plastic-Geared and "Slightly Better than Stock" Servos

While the preferred route to fix a stripped servo for the Stampede would be to upgrade to a metal-geared one, there may be times that you may not be able to afford it. Here are some "better than stock" plastic gear alternatives. I encourage you to strongly consider buying a metal-geared servo, if at all possible. However, I'm placing these servos here as an alternative. Remember that these servos will probably not cure your problem, but rather buy you more time before they break again.

I've listed the Traxxas 2055 in the list below. However currently it is being used as the stock Electric Stampede servo. Since the older version of the Electric Stampede were packaged with the Traxxas 2018, I felt that the 2055 should still be listed below.




A big thanks to arceeguy, beamer, Big_Shanaenae, FritoLay27, razer, and RCGod311 for their contributions to this servo list.
