They have good power , are beautiful and cheap.
But they are not water resistant at all, very bad sealed, are very noisy ,and the front pinion is too weak and break easily on any small crush.- I think they are recomended for crawling only , but not for running cars.- My opinion.

After reading through all the reviews, most find these servo's are excellent others claim jittering and not centering very well, my findings were excellent when first fitted into a heavy model plane, ailerons started to jitter replaced these and then elevator started to jitter only control surface still fitted after about 20 flights is a pair in pull pull for rudder had 9 of these fitted to an extra 330 and had to remove 6 of these, I have a powerboard fitted and running all servo's on 5.1V they have plenty of current available are their any solutions to this jittering developing problem, it is a very impressive alloy servo has good gearing and mechanically very well built, it is a shame the electronics let it down.

Maybe this review is closed, but will try again, had 9 of these fitted to large scale plane using a powerboard dual redundant battery setup voltage set at 5V with ample current available, they all started out ok, then developed centering flutter, contstant jitter, many others have reported this, has anyone discovered a solution they are a very nice alloy digital servo excellent machanics but electrically very disappointing, any advise appreciated.

I, Like many others are very disappointed with such a lovely looking alloy servos really looks first class, but, simply they start off good and then develope centering and flutter problems, have 9 of these fitted to a large plane and had to eventually remove the lot as they got so bad, the gears and mechanism are first class, the electronics let it down, mine is set up with a powerboard with a regalated power supply of 5V and planty of current available, any ideas of fixing the jittering would be appreciated.

Be warned if using these on planes they start off good then devolope centering problems, jitter or flutter of all control surfaces, very dangerous, on big planes using multiple servos on control surfaces, using a powerboard adj to 5 volts, so no issues with voltage or current and a dual battery setup. speed and torq are very good and gears and construction are excellent reason for purchasing these, the fluttering is the only disappointment, have had to remove all 9 from my plane, I read many others have experienced same results are their any suggestions to fix up such a nice looking servo's electronics.

I have been running 4 of these in a 140 size 2 meter Sukhoi for 12 months and after more than 300 flights, they are working faultlessly.

Thanks HK, a magic servo at a terrific price.

I think next time you get these in stock you should order more than 30 units, they didn't last long this time and I missed out after waiting 6 weeks! ugh.

Estes servos so muito fortes, rpidos e resistentes pois o corpo deles confeccionado em um bloco slido de liga de alumnio muito bom j usamos vrio em helicpteros principalmente para rotor de cauda.

These servos are very good, use 9 in a heavy model Extra 330L plenty of torq way in excess for unlimited Aerobatics, speed is very good you will have to use these via a power box to get full current don't go over 5V and they will last, or use a bec, have a look inside you will not get a better Servo for this price.Digital and Coreless motors.

I have used this servo for more than 6 months now. What can i say. It has always worked perfectly. It has plenty of torque and speed BUT in order to achieve this you need A POWERFUL BEC! My old ESC used a 5v BEC and when i switched to my new one with 6v BEC, the servo felt like a different one! I believe this is the best servo for the price. PLEASE DO correct me if i am wrong!
