Xceed new range of Pro servos for onroad and offroad meet the highest demands in rc car racing, for speed, torque, materials used and pure performance. Intensive testing has been carried out in offroad on astro-turf, rocky and muddy conditions, in 1/10 on and offroad under race-conditions, and in 1/8 onroad in the fastest class of all on high bite tracks as well. These servo’s can withstand the rigors of high speed racing, and will make you finish races over and over again. Light, yet strong, anodized aluminium cases complete the overall superb looks.

New from T-Work’s are these aluminium servo top cases for the Hi Volt line of Savox servos. Built specifically for the SC-1267MG and SC-1268MG they are made from high grade 7075-T6 aluminium with dual brass bushings for both gear pins providing the best possible fit and heat dissipation properties plus the extra strength will ensure racers will never again break a servo ear during a race. To solve the problem of Savox servo ears being positioned differently to Sanwa or Futaba, T-Work’s have also released a second type of the Alum Top Cap with the sole difference being the servo ears are placed in a similar position to Sanwa or Futaba servos allowing drivers to maintain the same steering exponential when running between Savox or other similar Sanwa/Futaba servos.
