EcoPower 827 12g Digital Metal Gear Micro Servo (High Voltage) (Includes Aluminum Clamping Servo Horn)
About this part
The EcoPower 827 12g Digital Metal Gear Micro Servo is an affordable, high voltage "mighty micro" upgrade. This servo is a great choice for the Dig/Shift servo in the Axial SCX10 III, as well as a Dig servo in the Axial Capra. The servo saver adapter is included! Plus, true high voltage compatibility means no more complicated wiring to protect your accessory servos when running a high voltage steering servo. Lifetime Gear Warranty through Amain Hobbies for added confidence and durability.
The 827 can also be used as a steering servo upgrade for the Axial SCX24 when combined with the optional Samix Mount (SAMSCX24-6068E-BK), or Hot Racing Servo Mount (HRASXTF24M01).
The EcoPower 827 fits a wide range of micro servo applications, including the Losi Mini-T 2.0 and Mini-B, Axial 1/18 Yeti Jr, a multitude of aircraft and many others. The servo features a durable metal gear train, digital circuitry for increased efficiency and reliability.

I bought these for the dig and steering servos on my SCX 10.3 kit since the Spektrum SX107 seemed to be out of stock everywhere. Fits just fine but in my experience one of them died after the second run. Ended up going with an AGFRC micro servo to replace the burned out servo that’s still kicking so far. EDIT: updating this review to add that amain’s support rocks! I left the review above recently and amain support contacted me shortly after. I was sent another servo without question and didn’t even ask for it.
Used this on an SCX24 with the Hot Racing mount. The mounting holes are just a tad bit off, but the screws go in just fine as the holes are a little big. That being said - DEFINITELY try to use mounting screws with a bigger head diameter, or use washers. Servo plastic is generally very soft, so small heads, like cap screws, can pull through under load. As for the performance of this servo, in this price range, you won't find a faster servo, or one with more torque, especially if you can run this at the max 8.4v. Here is a vid of this servo running off the wimpy stock SCX24 ESC... https://youtube.com/shorts/wOayRsw4U10?feature=share So, adding a Furitek ESC, and running the BEC @7.4v would make this servo faster, with more torque. And even as is, it has plenty, especially considering I have a ton of scrub steer on this truck with Treal +5mm hubs and RC4WD stamped steel wheels with the hub mounted reversed to give a wider track width. Just get this if you have an SCX24. You won't be at all disappointed. But make sure to get the Hot Racing mount (HRASXTF24M01). I hear the Samix one doesn't work as well with this servo.
Great servo, doesn't work well with the Hot Racing Aluminum Steering Linkages.
I bought several of these because I realized they were little gems. I bought two for my Gladiator, one for my Capra, one for my Mini-B. I have not swapped out the Mini-B just yet because I have done so much just to make the Mini-B work with an E-Max micro servo that I don't want to undo it yet. The servos perform much better than the stock Spektrum Micros in terms of torque and eliminate the annoying Dig and Two-Speed uncoupling issues I had with the stock micros. Also, they simply drop right in with the proprietary servo horn, saver, and arm linkage (no need to invent your own linkage). You can't beat this for the price.
Worked good in the mini b But for only one month and stopped working
Reviews of this 12g high-voltage digital metal gear micro servo are sharply divided. Many reviewers praise its torque and performance relative to stock Spektrum and Emax servos, its low price, and the included aluminum horn and servo saver adapters. Others report early failures, including burnt-out electronics and motors, and frequent breakage of the plastic mounting ears, often during installation or with light use. Several note poor fit in the SCX24 C10 and Samix or Hot Racing mounts, due to bumper interference or horn position. Some reviewers mention responsive warranty support from the seller. Reported experiences vary considerably, and a number of reviews describe servos that failed within minutes to weeks.
