    Application(s): Steering servo on Rustler

    Comments: For around 75 bucks it's a pretty decent servo. I like the fact that its got metal gears, coreless motor, and water resistant. I've gotten it wet plenty of times without any issues, although I did add some plasti-dip around the seams just to be on the safe side.

    If you don't want to shell out the extra money for a high end titanium geared coreless servo I think the 7985 is a pretty good option. Its got plenty of torque for a Rustler and I'm sure it would do just fine in a 1/8 buggy also, but it would be nice if it was a little faster IMO for any kind of racing applications.
