Here's my longterm review of the ProTek RC 170SBL Servo - being a premium brushless digital high voltage servo, it's what every high end servo should be - available exclusively from Amain Hobbies

What's your Favorite "GOTO Servo? 🤔

KZfaq is pointless thing won national championships and multiple dirt nitro challenges and has more technology than any other servo on the market so take your pointless ass comment where it matters or get ya money up so you can afford a $150 servo without complaining.

Protek is an excellent servo which I believe is an Amain product (?) my go to for 1/10th is the Hitec HS7950TH in respective to price point. 1/10th race I use the Reedy RT1408LP which I’m pretty happy with

I have been running this servo in my RC10 buggy for almost 10 months now, it has been 100% perfect. I am a crasher and this servo has not had even a hint of a problem. Great video and great review, Protek is my go to servo brand. they have great prices and they are super durable.

@charlesbonkley 4 жыл бұрын

@@TheRCNetwork Without getting inside of these servos, it's tough to tell if any wear-and-tear is happening. Anyone could compare servos from an outside level. And if they still work, then mission accomplished! Surprisingly, despite how popular these servos apparently are, there really isn't too much info on them, let alone comparisons to other brands/models out there. To me, the closest competitor to these servos are the MKS HBL599, which are very pro. I've looked at pictures of the replacement gear sets for both the Protek and the MKS servos, and it does seem that that the MKS has just a bit better looking gears (better fit and finish, better cuts on teeth, etc.). To me this could mean the MKS could be smoother and quieter; I don't know.

Greg I have a question that I hope you or someone in the comments can help me with. I just bought a new 1/10 Traxxas Summit from my LHS and since airbrushing bodies is a passion of mine I couldn't wait to get that Proline 73 Bronco body and start making my Summit my own, and just my luck it's been discontinued. They still make the 73 Bronco, but it's only 18.4 inches and says it's just for the Emaxx and Erevo, well I thought bodies that fit the E-Revo and Emaxx would fit the Summit as well or am I wrong? I don't know why Proline keeps discontinuing some of their best bodies. Anyway I ust figured I'd come here before I go wasting money on bodies that won't fit. Thanks.

@sgtlt 4 жыл бұрын

just curious, why did you go with the 170 instead of the 370 tbl ?

@TheRCNetwork 4 жыл бұрын

I wanted the speed vs the torque on the 370. The 170 is .08 sec and 535oz/in vs the 370 is .13 sec and 650oz/in. Both great options, but the .13 is slow for a race truck

hi, I am looking to upgrade my Losi Tenacity DB Pro, will this work for it (10th scale Buggy) ? thank U

@TheRCNetwork 2 жыл бұрын

Yep, it should bolt right in.....two things to think about though, spline on the Protek is 25t, and your Losi is likely 23t if it had a Spektrum in it and also BEC voltage...this is a HV servo and will need the BEC on the ESC adjusted to manage it

For throttle/brake you don't need the most torque, like you do for your steering servo. The 155S will probably be fine
