NitroPro EPIC1: A Servo That Doesn’t Quit
If you’ve been around RC racing long enough, you know servos can make or break your day at the track. Too slow, too weak, or worse—burned out halfway through a main—and suddenly you’re a spectator. That’s why we were curious when we got our hands on the NitroPro EPIC1 High Torque Brushless Servo. Spoiler: this thing is a beast.
First Impressions
Right out of the box, the NitroPro EPIC1 Servo feels premium. The billet aluminum case isn’t just for looks—it’s reinforced with stainless and has a custom-milled heat sink built in. It feels solid in your hand, like something that’s not going to flex or give under pressure. And everything’s beveled properly, so no weird horn hang-ups or chassis interference when you drop it into your rig.
Performance Where It Counts
Here’s what stood out to us:
-
Torque for days. We’re talking 690 oz-in at 7.4v. That’s serious grunt, even for heavy truggies or buggies running in rough conditions.
-
Quick reaction. At 0.07 transit speed, the steering feels snappy without being twitchy. Tailored NitroPro programming ensures responsive handling right out of the box. Plus, it’s compatible with Sanwa and Futaba low-latency systems
-
High-voltage ready. If you’re running HV setups, the EPIC1 doesn’t flinch—it actually shines.
Built to Last (And Backed for Life)
Probably the boldest claim NitroPro makes is the lifetime warranty on both gears and electronics. That’s almost unheard of in the servo world. It's a premium product that they have full faith in and you'll be just as comfortable knowing you can get that warranty at any time.
