Default Best Foamy Servo's

Hello! I am trying to pick some brains here. I am new to foamy flying, and I am having a problem with my e-flite s75's stripping out, or breaking. I would like to find out what everyone thinks is the best servo. I am flying an insane foamy edge and yak. Any thoughts?

Without a doubt, Futaba s3114s. Awesome speed and torque. Check them out.

Terry and CKoerner definitely have the best two listed. 3114 is the most precise and fastest. D4.7 is close on centering and speed and almost half the weight of the 3114.

All of them will strip out occasionally with the right kind of beating. When you buy servos, buy a gearset or two with them. You'll need them eventually.

I like the Hitec 55's but would love to try the dymond 4.7's for weight reduction. Also Hitec has two new ones coming out, I think a 3 & 4 gram series. I will definately try these out!!!!

The Hitec 55 are fine, for the price.
I have had very good luck with these.

I'm very impressed with the Futaba s3114 servo, Very fast, strong, and great centering. All for only 13.99 from tower

I've been using the Hitec 55s for a long time now and they hold up great. Pretty affordable too.
