New Waterproof Baja Servo From HPI

Posted by Tim Mohr @ 3:30 pm. Filed in: HPI Racing, Large Scale RC, New Products

No doubt HPI has sold zillions of vehicles from their 5th scale Baja line-up of buggies and trucks. And no doubt they’ve been great fun to drive as well as solid bashers. However, some bashers like to drive their HPI Baja’s in the wet as well as the dry. Unfortunately the stock servo’s were not sealed to keep water out. Alas, HPI has answered the call of all those scuba gear equipped Baja drivers with their new SFL-11MGWP Waterproof Servo. Some of the specs are-

*Waterproof
*25kg-cm of torque at 6 volts
*Metal gear
*Futaba connector
*Requires 25 tooth servo arm

Tentative pricing looks to be around $150 and we’ll pass along a release date for here in the states when we hear more. Hit THIS link for more information.
