This is the ProTek R/C 170S "Chad Bradley Team Edition - High Speed" Digital Servo. Chad Bradley is a legend in the world of R/C. A multiple time IFMAR 1/8 off road World Championship finalist with countless big race wins under his belt, Chad is one of our most respected and decorated drivers. That's why we collaborated with Chad to develop the 170S Team Edition. The 170S Team Edition delivers the rapid, high speed response that ProTek R/C team drivers demand, combined with the quality, reliability and customer support that our customers demand from ProTek R/C. 

  • “I have been testing the 170 series of servos for some time now. The torque, holding power and speed of these servos are insane! 1/8 Off-Road is the ultimate test for any servo, and the 170 series servos give me the power and precision I need to hold the tightest lines around the most demanding tracks. I have never used a servo that performs as good as these and I wont use anything other than ProTek 170 series servos. If they weren't up to my standards, I wouldn't put my name on them." - Chad Bradley, ProTek R/C Team Driver 

At 6.0V the ProTek R/C 170S Chad Bradley Team Edition High Speed servo delivers 0.09 transit speed, with an incredible 445 oz-in of torque. When you push the voltage to 7.4, the spec's jump to 0.07 and 549 oz-in! Spec's like these make this servo an excellent choice for any 1/10 to 1/8 scale application that can benefit from lightning fast transit speeds. A black anodized aluminum case with gold accents provides a striking appearance that sets it apart from any other servo on the market, while at the same time providing bomb proof durability and efficient heat dissipation. Other features include a durable metal gear train supported by dual ball bearings for smooth and precise rotation, 190mm long 22awg connector wire with gold plated connectors, and a coreless motor.

Plus, instead of a cheap plastic servo horn, ProTek R/C goes the extra mile with an included aluminum clamping single arm servo horn that will stand up to a majority of the punishment you can throw at it. Stop wasting your money on budget servos that look good in the spec list, but fall short when its time to perform. Get ProTek and don't look back.

Warning! This ProTek R/C servo requires that you use a m3x10mm screw to attach the servo horn to the output shaft. If you choose to use another screw, be sure to use a 10mm length screw. Use of a shorter screw can cause failure and will void your warranty.

  • Ideal for any 1/10 to 1/8 scale vehicle application
  • Full aluminum black and gold anodized case
  • High voltage circuitry
  • 0.09 transit speed, and 445 oz-in of torque @ 6.0V

ProTek RC 170S Chad Bradley Team Edition High Speed Servo (High Voltage)
Incredible power and speed. I've had this servo in both electric and nitro truggies with results beyond expectations. You cannot force the wheels to turn when the servo is at zero while powered on. It doesn't even squeal like some servos would under strain. After owning this servo over time and buying several for 1/8 scale applications, I can say these servos are durable and consistent from one to the next and use after use. I cannot imagine installing another servo in a nitro or electric truggy. I cannot imagine a servo outperforming this one for the price.

Amazing servos tons of power and speed defiantly need aluminum servo horns, the plastic ones might not handle the torque, have had them in 1/8 nitro buggy and are perfect! Highly recommend

I just recently purchased this servo and placed it into my truggy as a steering servo. I used it for a weekend practice session. I was soo impressed with the speed and torque of this servo, that I placed an order for another protek 170s servo right at the track for my buggy steering. Extremely fast and impressively strong at 7.4 volts. These servo has raised the bar high and I can't see using any other servo. I will definitely be using these servos in all of my cars, and possibly RC heli's too. Thanks for an awsome product Pro Tek RC!

These new servos are blistering fast. Almost too fast when set up with a 7.4 lipo. Not only are they fast, but they are strong too. You can count on finishing your race when using these new servos.

I've had 6 of these servos in the past 2 years in multiple vehicles. i have one in particular that i have still been using as a kind of durability test since 2013 psycho nitro blast. it has been in 6 different cars including truggies and buggies and is still alive with no issues whatsoever. have never had a problem with one. you get what you pay for and these servos are bad ass!

Hands down the best servo I have ever had. I am running it in my Xray XB8e 1/8th buggy on 7.4 volts with the Tekin RX8. Performs perfectly, rock solid, super strong and fast. I'll be getting another one for my SCT 4x4.

ProTek RC 170S Chad Bradley Team Edition High Speed Servo (High Voltage)
I have purchased two of these over the past 8-12 months. Bought my first one as my steering servo for my buggy. It performed flawless and has been an awesome servo. I purchased my second one when they were on sale in January. This was my throttle servo in my buggy until yesterday. I was at the track practicing when without warning my servo stopped working at about half throttle. Luckily my steering servo was still working and I was able to keep my 1 week old motor from melting down and getting destroyed. After I got the car shut down the throttle servo starting working again. Needless to say I will not be running my buggy with this servo again until it gets replaced by Amain. It was not a battery or receiver issue since my steering never went out. This would be a 5 star review but since only 50% of the servos I bought still work I am going to give this product 3 stars.

Well the Protek 170S "Chad Bradley" servos are awesome! Super fast and responsive and smooth as silk! Even the mounting hardware is great with a really nice aluminium Servo horn and aluminium mounting washes. Highly recommended!

I bought this about 6 weeks ago. I put it in a SCTE. I know overkill right! So far so good! I have ran it about 5 times.I will post again after more use. It is blistering fast and just as powerful if your wondering though!! I own the low profile protek high torque servo as well and so far it's been great!!!

I purchased the protek 170S for my Axile Wraith, I rock race with the Wraith and on our clubs track there are very tight turns and I also have a on chassis servo with a pan hard bar, which makes the need for monster torque a must.
I have only run it for 3 races now but so far I am extremely happy with the servo! I can't say how it will do in the long run but if it continues to proform this well over the long haul I will be happy as heck. My only dislike would be I wish it was a bit faster but speed and torque are a trade off.

Got this for my truggy steering and this is unreal. I'm running 6v and that is more than enough yet awesome to know if I want to invest in 7.2v power source it will be out of this world. Best servo I have owned. Protek is starting to become THE NAME in servos.

Excellent Servos! I have replaced my KO ProPo RSX2 H.C. Servos with these and I haven't looked back! Not to mention the customer support from AMAIN on these is above and beyond! Super strong servos and lightning fast!
I am running them in both my D8T Tessmann and D815 - the 170S version only!

Installed this as a steering servo in my RC8T. Worked awesome; for about 30 seconds then the servo went crazy, started jittering and stopped working. Doesn't work at all now. Plugged in a different servo and I have steering again. Not what I expected from this product. Now I gotta go through this return process...

Just installed this to my losi 3.0 as steering, 7.4v. All metal casing. Neat finishing. I spray plastidip & pack the bearing with grease to make it w/proof. Found a little bit heavier than savox.
Its fast & with monsteruous torque. Now i need to tighten the servo saver to take advantage of the torque offered.
Love it and worth the money spent.
Thinking to replace the savox throttle servo with this 170s soon.
