Look what I found...

Tower hobbies wanted $139.99 ,so now I think I will spend the extra $100 or so for the 94359z. I was going to buy the Hitec HS-645MG bought some of you were having problems with them. Let me know what you guys think........

This servos are awesome and reliable I quit using the Hitec crap and switched to these. Haven't had a problem yet.

I've been bragging about these servos for ages.

Well worth $100 from crispycritters.

Yeah I bought mine from hobbyguy( I think that was who it was), I think it was for $112.It's the only servo I will run again, unless it is the new 361's

any of you guys ever striped the gears in these things... if so was it easy to get parts?

JasonInAugusta · 01-13-2006, 10:47 AM

Never.

Not in 2 years.

TwistedCreations · 01-13-2006, 10:49 AM

I haven't had one problem yet ( knock on wood ). JIA has ran his over a year with no problems, besides broken servo horns. but here ya go http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXEUM4&P=7

well I guess I will pony up and get some... my hitecs have a hard time turning the tires I have and I strip gears left and right without servo savers. I have been looking for a better servo guess this is it

What is the difference between the 358 and 359 besides price? There is a $44 price drop to the 358 at Tower. The only thing that I could tell was that one of them had a heat sink (does that just help dissipate the heat?), but both of them are 200oz torque.

Thanks,
Chad

Physically there's the heat sink and the 358 has a plastic gear in the driveline. That gear is the weak point in the servo.

The 359 has all metal gears.

Not sure on the electronics side of things. They might have slightly different circuitry.
