I use the 2056 in my SV27 and the 2075 in my Pursuit, so far they're doing great.
The 2075 was submerged under water for about 20 minutes, and works like new.SV27 w/ Ammo 2300 / Stock ESC || Pursuit w/ Leopard 4074 2200kv / SeaKing 120a ESC || MHZ Drambuie on Ice w/ 2x Schulze 4.160wk's / 2x Neu 2215 1.5y'sComment

In my Pspec setups they are good, but in my Pmono the nylon post gear flexes under turn stress @ speed, so I run a metal gear servo in that now. I wish they made a metal gear version...they do run underwater!
Maybe not the best for heavier fast boats though.Last edited by Ctonez; 11-20-2010, 07:36 PM.Comment

thats what i wanted to know, its going in a pretty big boat with mid 40"s speedComment

My Pmono is 33" long and goes mid 50's in race trim. It weighs approx. 7-8 lbs., but that is a total guesstimate. Either way, it's quite a bit chunkier than the boats that I can put a resin/plastic geared servo in.
If your boat is vacupickle or SV sized, then you don't need nearly the rigidity in the steering linkage (even @ 50+ IME) because those boats run 2 x 2S packs typically. If you run 2 x 4S packs, then I'd recommend the stout metal gear servos just because that's so much more weight/leverage working on things at speed.Comment
