We started to title this . . . Good, Better, & Best standard-size servos for an X-Maxx . . . but in point of fact, all three are really great ways to go. And it's actually not a matter of one being...
As is often the case, these askJOHN articles come about because of a problem someone's having. A fairly common issue regards wanting to use a HV servo - like everything in our lineup - perhaps a...
Most of us acquire our first battery charger as part of another purchase. Perhaps along with an X-Maxx or with one of the lovely miniature models as produced by E-Flite. Before long it dawns on us we...
A good friend and heli-oriented customer recently wrote inquiring about a servo gear issue for one of his cyclic servos, but I'll let him speak for himself, and note, we interchanged several emails,...

X-Maxx STD-alloy
Price: $39.99
Availability: In stock
Item #: S7749A -

This mechanical kit is for fitting ProModeler DS635/845 or DS1155 standard size servos to an X-MAXX. This does not fit other brand servos and is not for sale separately. Kit includes mount adapters, servo horn, and hardware. Background: With the X-MAXX, Traxxas unleashed a beast on the modeling world. As delivered, it's a great introduction to the sport, but skilled drivers soon discover the limits of the stock steering servo. While Traxxas offer metal gear upgrades, they ultimately responded...

X-MAXX mount, poly
Price: $14.99

Item #: S7749 -

This S7749 is the polymer servo adapter only for the DS635/845/1155BLHV servo being installed into an X-MAXX.

X-Maxx  STD-poly
Price: $29.99
Availability: In stock
Item #: S7749P -

This S7749P polymer servo mount adapter plus horn kit is for installing a series II standard-size servo DS635/845/1155BLHV into a Traxxas X-MAXX. This will not work with series I servos, like DS505/630/930BLHV (or compatible like Savox 2290SG). Instead, order control horn PDRS19F-25T, and Traxxas' polymer mount adapter, #7749. Heads up . . . our alloy series II installation kit is a smarter buy. The alloy-kit is both stronger 'and' significantly more rigid, 'but' it's only for series II super...

DS1885BLDP Best servo, X-MAXX, giant scale, 42% servo
Price: $229.99
Availability: In stock
Item #: DS1885BLDP -

General Information Q. I was interested in the DS1155BLHV for my X-Maxx and then learned about this monster. Why would I want such a powerful servo for my rig instead, what's the use-case? How do I know which one is best for me? A. Honestly, we don't know you thus, and can't make the decision of what's the right servo for you, but lets delve into *why* we made the pork belly, because this may help you suss it out for yourself. Basically we created it because there seem to be two types of...

DS1885BLDP-M Best servo, X-MAXX, giant scale, 42% servo
Price: $229.99
Availability: In stock
Item #: DS1885BLDP-M -

General Information Created for a certain type of XRT owner, and while we don't know you, this one's for the hooligans. Direct Power: The DP in the model number means this servo requires Direct Power. Anyway, this means it uses a 2S-4S pack. While we have them in capacities ranging from 650mAh to 6000mAh, the most popular pack is the B4S2500 and if you want one, then remember to add it to your order. Or select it from the pull-down menu under Power Options. Anyway, whether you buy a pack from...

Servo, DS930BLHV ProModeler makes the best servos for giant scale crawling X-MAXX
Price: $129.99
Availability: In stock
Item #: DS930BLHV -

Bottom line? It's bad ass but not unbreakable? We say this to cover our ass with car/truck guys whine like little kids having a bad day when their 40mph rigs hits a root or fence post and they think an expensive servo should have held up. Physics don't care and we're using the best possible materials so grow up. This puts you off our stuff, so be it. Don't know why but the airplane guys know not to whinge at us following a crash. So to reiterate, great servo but it's not unbreakable (just...

Servo, DS1155BLHV ProModeler makes the best servos for giant scale crawling X-MAXX
Price: $159.99
Availability: In stock
Item #: DS1155BLHV -

This is the ProModeler DS1155BLHV servo. It's one of a series of three servos, this one, plus the DS635 and DS845 where the basic differences are the motors and gear ratios - otherwise they're like three peas in a pod! It's of a size and shape similar to other standard-size servos meaning it features conventional beam mounts so it's designed to be installed with vibration isolating rubber. Note how it sports a beefy 15T spline (versus the smaller conventional 25T spline output shaft). Why?...

Servo, DS505BLHV ProModeler makes the best servos for giant scale crawling X-MAXX
Price: $99.99
Availability: In stock
Item #: DS505BLHV -

The DS505BLHV servo is the most highly developed iteration of our most popular servo ever! This all-alloy standard-size servo is equipped with a brushless motor and has an all-steel gear train. This makes it powerful and very durable. But more than strong and fast, it centers really good because we use the Noble 1mc potentiometer. This Japanese pot is the best on the planet (and why we use it).So because we've been making this servo for more than a decade (and have produced tens of thousands),...

Bottom line? This is one bad ass servo we're making here. Period. Unbreakable? No, we'll never say that because we're not stupid. However, it's a very tough to beat servo in the +600oz-in class because beyond the best materials and design, we nail the price point, also. Feel free to look around because we're not shying away from anybody's product. Not even at this price point because we think this DS630 is the best in class your money can buy. Period! Read on to see if the DS630 fills your...

Servo, DS490BLHV Best giant scale and X-MAXX servo
Price: $109.99
Availability: In stock
Item #: DS490BLHV -

We've parked a standard size DS635BLHV next to the low profile DS490BLHV servo (both share 20mm x 40mm footprint) to show off its svelte low-profile design. So if you're looking for a standard class servo with a lower profile than a conventional servo (perhaps for wing-mounted applications or 1/10th scale carpet racing) then this is a very rugged alternative to the usual suspects in the class. Maybe one you'll judge best for you! Let us show you a little more about it . . . beginning by...
