not really sure how it compares to others but, i do run one on my rig and it works really well, for $20 you cant go wrong. i heared there was a tower pro upgrade to this servo for like $25 dollars.

They are budget begineer servos. As long as you don't expect them to rack up with high end servos you'll like them. As compared to the Hitec 645Mg or 5645Mg. Tower pros are more durable powerful and affordable. Or at least they have been for me. |

There is a better Tower Pro servo out now. It's the MG946R and they are cheaper for me to sell at this time. Check the Vendors section. I stopped carrying the MG995's and MG945's. They where costing me the same as the MG946R's. The one thing that hurts the Tower Pro's is the Top Gear Case. They seem to wear out fast sometime. Which will casue the gears to seem stripped. Just replace the case and your golden again.

| What servo arms fit TowerPro MG servos
What pattern do the TowerPro MG 995's use? Great torque, but it buckles the cheap arms that come with them. I tried fitting a Hitec arm on with no luck. Is it Futaba pattern? thx sweli |

I think it is futaba compatible. They are good for the money, but the gearmesh is pretty knarly. They draw a lot of amperage for the power they make, but the holding torque is better because of it. Still good for the price, does the job well for crawling. |

Futaba is Correct. I carry a couple of different length Servo horns to fit these.
