Lots of mixed reviews on those, some people swear by them. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them. My experience, and that of several other people I know, is that the cases are fragile, and will shatter if it takes a good knock. I read somewhere that someone put the guts from one of those into a different brand of case (don't remember which, sorry) and it worked remarkably well. Personally, I avoid them, and steer other people away from them because of my own experience.

They are good servos, but seem to go limp after a while if you run'em hard all the time. I ran one as a steering servo in my MGT, it still does the job now, but after a race season it just isn't what it was when fresh. I am thinking of tosing it in a scaler to see if it will hold up. They are "O" ring sealed (at least mine is) so could be good thing........... As far as cases being brittle, can't know on that, mines been into a lot of stuff and has held up fine, I'd say go for it for a scaler, stay away if for a comp rig.....remember you do get what you pay for...........
