This is the servo that came in my Troy Lee Designs TEN SCTE. This was the first thing I upgraded on that truck. Then I put it in my Vaterra Ascender kit. Once again I'm swapping it for a Savox. It's junk. Slow, no torque. Don't do it.
Well, my dad has this servo in his Slash and it is very slow. It has no torque and can't even set itself straight. Definitely will be replaced by a Traxxas or Savox.
I recently bought a losi 8ight rtr nitro buggy, I knew these servos wouldve been very slow despite being a rtr car. for what they are they are still servos at the end of the day but they have no torque and are waaaay too slow.
Included with the Proboat SonicWakeV2 and the Impulse 32. Look elsewhere this thing is horrible.
All four reviews are negative and describe the Spektrum S605 servo as slow with low torque. Reviewers say it struggles to centre itself, and several plan to replace it with Savox or Traxxas servos. The servo appears in reviews across several platforms, including a TEN SCTE, Vaterra Ascender, Slash, Losi 8ight RTR and Proboat boats. No reviewer reports a positive experience, and the reviews do not discuss the waterproofing or durability of the nylon gears.
- − Slow response speed
