ebay... theres another company on there selling the same thing as well

Yes it has a double pump, and really its dandy as soon as i got used to it, now i can control it like a normal reverse, fully proportional and all

It seems to handle the 995 perfectly with juice to spare, and doesnt got warm even after full throttle bashing.

Its perfect for now and was pretty cheap, so once i start my summer job again i'll get a reb 2, and throw this in a road car.

Wild trial · 01-23-2006, 12:46 PM

Ok thanks a lot man.
Rcmart it is lol.

xtremraptor · 01-23-2006, 02:04 PM

well to be technical i am running an OEM 330cr. it's not really a futaba but it has all the same specs. same as the one you linked too only mine is made by ACME (B1006).

http://cgi.ebay.com/Futaba-OEM-MC330...QQcmdZViewItem

not the same guy i got it from but the same exact ESC. does work well without a doubt. i'll get a TR2 this summer and throw this in something else, or maybe i'll just keep this one. like you said it's really a great ESC when you get used to it, and you can't beat the price.

one thing, after all my time secretly ninja-prowling this site, that i do not understand is thus: do you run two single-motor esc's or do you rewire them? or what? yes i have searched.

escs and motors are in a different thread. this one is about the servo

mazdaparts · 01-23-2006, 09:18 PM

I got to do a little testing with the servos. I really like the speed and power they have. Granted I was used to some 133oz, .19 transit times, but these are well worth the money. I am running a TR2 with a GP 3300 six cell pack. Both servos are plugged directly into the rx. I did have a current draw problem. It seems the motor (550 johnson can 27t) when in a bind can draw enough current to lock the servos in the position they were in. Basically I couldn't move both servos at the same time. However I was going vertical in a crab steer. Nothing that can't be solved by running a rx pack or a voltage regulator. But still wanted to report it. I haven't had good weather to test out side yet but hopefully that will change soon.

Not trying to thread jack, but I did a search in this forum for XTM and came up with nothing. Have any of you guys used the XTM 175's or do you have any experience with XTM servos?

ukcrawler · 01-24-2006, 10:23 AM

just got my mg995 1 week after ordering from ebay, blimey for the money it has extreme power and smoothness, im impressed, thanks for the recommendation

Shorty40 · 01-25-2006, 08:59 PM

Considering the specs and the price I had to throw a pair in my spares box

Havent run them yet but they look very similar to my 645s. Good to see some positive feedback from people that have actually run them, rather than from people that condemn them just on price.

Johnson420 · 02-22-2006, 11:05 PM

So has anyone ran 2 of these TowerPro MG995 servos with Tekin Rebel 2 and no reciever pack.

dezfan · 02-22-2006, 11:15 PM

Yes they have, just read the thread.

DUKEMURMUR · 02-25-2006, 07:39 AM

I guess that these are going to be the servos to try when I get my new rig up and running...until I build my hydraulic steering setup (if I can find or make a mini pump is the only way that is going to happen)

stitebunny · 02-26-2006, 11:40 PM

I got 2 of these and one took a sh!t the first day of running. the other one seems to be doing fine! Ya win some, ya lose some!

dezfan · 02-27-2006, 12:08 AM

Bummer! Hope mine hold up better!

Hillbillyking · 02-27-2006, 11:41 AM

I been running mine for 6 months first in a really heavy E-Maxx(12+pnds) and now the Clod so good so far. One thing I can say even with the winnie 1.5 amp 5 volt EVX bec thay do a good job but MAN with a good stout 5cell reciver pack thay come alive LOL.

dezfan · 02-27-2006, 11:53 AM
