This is the ProTek R/C 170T "Chad Bradley Team Edition - High Torque" Digital Servo. Chad Bradley is an R/C legend. 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 170T Team Edition. The 170T Team Edition delivers the stump pulling torque 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 170T Chad Bradley Team Edition High Torque servo delivers an incredible 510 oz-in of torque and 0.14 transit speed. When you push the voltage to 7.4, the spec's jump to 630 oz-in and 0.11! Spec's like these make this servo an excellent choice for any 1/10 to 1/8 scale application that can benefit from incredibly strong torque spec's. 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
  • 0.14 transit speed, and 510 oz-in of torque @ 6.0V

Just like the other reviews state, this is an awesome servo. It lives up to it's specs and you will not be disappointed! We run it in the truggy and the buggy!!

I run this servo in my Tekno ET48 and it is phenomenal. Very quiet, plenty powerful, quick enough for me. I use a Tekin RX8.2 providing 7.4V to this servo for .11 sec speed and 630 oz/in torque. I wish Protek would make the servo leads longer as both of my Tekno's need a servo extension. I would definitely recommend this servo to anyone.

Bought this based on all the positive reviews. My experience wasn't so positive. gears stripped out with probably 2 hours of run time. Nice little cherry on top of quite an interesting race day. This is the second ProTek servo to crap out on me...... The first one was in my E-buggy and I thought that was a fluke.... yeah, not so much.

BTW, yes I checked my end points and the servo saver is adjusted properly.

I am using this servo on a 13lbs scale crawler and it moves the front tires around great. Truck has seen alot of water and dunks with no issues after a light coating of liquid electrical tape around the case seams. Servo stays cool and does not overheat after long use on this truck.

This is probably the best servo for the Yeti XL. Turns those big tires with ease at 7.4v. 630oz of torque! Drops right in too. No modification required.

I've used one now for about 2years in my nitro truggy. It gets plenty of abuse. I have not had any issues whatsoever with this servo. A definite great buy

Protek RC Servos are the only servo I will ever use, money worth and it will serve better than flashy servo out there with exaggerated price!

I’ve got a lot of Protek stuff, batteries, tools, etc etc and it’s all been top notch gear but these servos are junk. This one lasted a month and developed centering jitters so bad it’s insane. I have had 2 others (130T and 150S) fail as well and I bought them through amain so they handled it quickly as you can expect, top notch service from them, but this one I picked up at a race and so I don’t believe it’s covered under amain’s Return policy so I’m just SOL. I’ve got stacks of savox servos, steel geared high voltage and they are noisy as hell but they have NEVER failed on me. These unfortunately aren’t in the same league. They’re quiet and center great but have a lifespan of zilch.

Silent, efficient, absolute fast, torque monster and reliable
servo ever tried!

Nice finishing hard case, the cnc arm is a bonus,
put one of these in the steering of the buggy /truck
with confidence, equals or even works better than
more expensive servos that owned before.

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

Brought one a few months back and just got around to using it.
You know that voice in your head that says just buy the expensive name brand, you've all been there but no you think "hey it's got the spec's, it should be good".
What a waste of money.
Four runs and it's done!
Lost it's neutral and now shudders in motion.
Won't be caught on the brand again.

Honestly a great servo. Crazy amounts of torque and insanely high speeds. Absolutely silent when operating and looks great. Highly recommend. Best servo on the market.

I recently made a switch over to the Protek servos. I am currently running this servo in my 1/8 buggy (steering). I’m looking to pair it with the Protek 130t for my throttle. The speed is .14 @ 6.0v but it definitely feels faster than that. The torque is awesome and it centers great! Prior to running this brand, my local track made a layout change and since then I have killed two high servos. I decided to give this servo a try. To date, I have put some serious crash test with this servo and it keeps on going! I am very happy I made the switch!!

I've been racing for quite a few years. I will say I don't go easy when it's time for racing. I'm an aggressive driver and I must have the best equipment that will withstand my driving needs. It all starts with the steering and throttle servos and the ProTek 170 series gets it done for me. I will use the 170t for steering in both my buggy and truggy and the 170s for throttle in both.

I've been running this servo in steering on my 8th scale buggy and truck since the beginning of the year. They've been very reliable and extremely smooth. Plus, they're so quiet that you can barely hear them. They have more torque than you will ever need!

No different words about the others reviews. The best servo for my race buggy.
