Reefs RC Raw 500HD High Torque/Speed Digital Servo (High Voltage)
I have owned 3 of these units in 2 trucks: a Capra and a RBX10 Ryft.

I am very happy with the finish and the power. Even under 6 volts they are strong. At 7.4, they are *the best money can buy*.

Serious problem hence knocking off two stars:

I ran my Capra the other day through a lot of muddy puddles and got some amazing slow motion video… the next day, the steering would erratically cut out. As this unit is advertised as submersible, I first replaced the receiver.. that didn’t fix it./ then replaced the ESC… still didn’t fix it!!! Last thing to test was swapping out the servo: problem fixed. The little muddy puddles fried the Reefs Raw 500 “submersible” servo!

To absolutely verify this, I disassembled it and indeed found water inside and it smelled of burnt, shorted out electronics. I noticed no defects or wear marks of any kind on the case and the rubber seals were properly intact.

I am hoping it was a fluke… if it happens again, I am writing the manufacturer.

Purchased my first Reefs RC RAW 500 steering servo because it had the best specs for torque output at 7.4V (500 oz), being "waterproof submersible" (as opposed to only being "waterproof") and for its craftsmanship/appearance. After a couple months use, I remain thoroughly impressed and now have RAW 500s installed in my two higher level crawlers. And the RAW 500 should remain as my 'go-to' steering servo for new crawler builds until something better surfaces.

Got this for my TRX4. Great servo. Very fast and strong even at the stock 6.0v. Running it with stock receiver and hobbywing axe esc. So happy I can turn my wheels when I’m in a jam and get out of them now. The waterproof features sold me as I like to run mine in creeks often.

I own two of these servos now and will probably be buying a third. I have them in my 1:10 SC Trucks. Plenty of torque to move those bigger wheels and responsive enough for the track. Next one will be going in the Sledge.

I have this in both the Kraton 6s and E-Revo2.0. Both installed no problem and have been great, loads of speed and power just don't forget the 25t servo horn

Quiet , Beautiful, Strong & Fast. These are the reasons I keep going back to this Raw500 servo. Nothing else out there meets all those criteria.
I have bought eight of them so far and will continue with them.

Reef’s servo’s, what’s there to say…they are the best! Picked the RAW 500 for my “King Sling”. I need to save up, cause I need 2 more, and a mini for my RYFT project.

Hands down one of the best servos available. Strong, fast, quiet and reliable. Have 4 in various rigs but honestly one can do any job extremely well. There's a whole lot to say but most of it's been said. Haven't been able to fault any of mine yet. Only problem: now everything has to be reefs. Its hard not to get hooked if you have a few toys!

I have one of these in my xmaxx, and in my opinion, this is the best steering servo money can buy. It’s lightning fast, programmable, high voltage, insanely torquey, and looks amazing. Best servo I’ve ever owned, and I just ordered a second one for my Kraton.

This servo is amazing I should have bought some for my other builds. It's home is a Kraton 6S V5 you can't stop these tires. Response is fast and steady always returns to center and NO Whining noise!!!
