ProTek RC 170TBL Black Label High Torque Brushless Servo.
Brushless servo technology has improved by leaps and bounds. Finally, brushless servos can deliver holding power, speed and precision that can compete with a coreless servo. Combine that with the superior efficiency and lifespan of a brushless motor and you have a servo that hits all the marks, with the performance and quality required for a pro level build.
A black anodized aluminum case with aluminum and white accents give this servo a stealthy look that sets it apart from the rest. The aluminum upper case provides bomb proof durability and the heat sink center case offers efficient heat dissipation and helps to reduce weight. The lead wire is detachable, allowing you to easily custom tailor the servo lead to your application, and the package includes both 135mm and 285mm length servo leads. Plus, a full selection of servo arms and mounting hardware are included making installation easy.
NOTE: If you experience glitching or poor performance while using a Futaba transmitter, you must turn off BLS mode. BLS mode is only compatible with Futaba BLS type servos.

I Got my replacement same week I returned the old one A-main was more then happy to help me and send me a replacement. Going to test it out after this weekend race. (as i put a back up in my truggy) I think I just got a dud. All my cars have protek servos and I've never had a problem.
Lots of torque too!!! Love it!
They suggest this servo with the kit, but don't mention this.
For the steering and pro-teck servo horn .
This is a insert servo wire type connector, it has a long lead and short lead. On the AE RC8BTe kit , you have to Dremmel out the servo brace , as the lead into servo it bulky.
I run all Pro-Teck black label .
I try to drive reasonably smoothly, but do still put my cars (and thus the servos) through some tough crashes. These servos are amazingly robust. Bullet proof. I have yet to have to replace a single servo due to breakage or even wear-and-tear. Compare this to 10 years ago when I was replacing servos in my 8th scale vehicles on a bi-weekly basis.
In terms of performance the 170SBL is plenty fast (I sometimes need to dial down the response time on my radio for steering), and is very strong and torquey. I could probably also use it for steering on my truggies tbh, but have opted for the 170TBL just to be safe. The 170TBL provides tons of torque, and is also very responsive/speedy.
This is one of those products, along with Hobbywing ESC and motors, that have made 8th scale off-road so much more fun. I honestly can't recommend this product anymore highly. It is worth every penny of its cost.
