It does look exactly like a bluebird, I have two of them. They work pretty good. 2/3s the power for 1/4 the price of a 5955.

Maybe but figure 1/10th the durability to.

Or at least in my experence. Who ever said you get what you pay for is exactly right. I waste money and time on cheap servos for a whole year. At the end of the year I had 10 broken servos with well over $200 spent. Bought the 5955, I've been rolling on it for a whole year in a half now no problems.

However, with that said if your just a once a month crawler guy. Or your just using the servos in a scaler. Go for it...

Integy sells the same servos under their name.

Ditto.

If your going to get a cheap servo, get a Tower Pro. Better servo and less expensive.

I just burned up both mine in under an hour yesterday. My fault though, I swapped out a 1" horn for a 1-1/4" horn and forgot to set epas. Steering stops before the servo and burnt the motors.

They just went to a new model, the 7955. A few nice upgrades to it for the same price (or less, can't remember).

The servos CKRC is selling are junk (I owned the BB's). I didn't even crawl that much when I owned them and they blew up in no time.

Another great option is the Hobbico CS-170, save about 20% over the Hitec for the same thing basically.

I'm trying two on my AX10 build. So far I'm impressed with them. For the price there not bad. I'm eventually going to replace them with some nice hitec servos, but for reasons of getting my new build running they work just fine.
