Highest RC introduce a servo specially designed for the use in formula chassis kits. The low-profile servo features an aluminium case with plastic lower bottom part and it comes without the standard mounting lashes as these are normally cut away in many formula chassis to allow for an upright mounting position. The high-voltage compatible servo is usable from 4.8V input on and offers up to 0.06s of transit time with a torque as high as 8.3kg-cm. A coreless motor makes for efficient operation and the servo is compatible with Sanwa’s SSR mode.
