I can tell you that ours are NOT rebadged Tower Pro 995 servos, and some of those others don't look like them either. Ours have more torque and faster response times that the 995 does, and they also have a different circuit board that makes them less likely to stutter. If anything, they're closest to the MG946R, but still have faster response times. |

I've been using a few of the RC4WD servos over the past 2 months. So far * knock on wood* no issues. They use a Futabo splined servo horn, so I have to mail order those.

Heres the linkhttp://cgi.ebay.ca/2x-Pro-MG995-DIGI...item2ead08dbc2 They get posted from being 10kg to 15kg most are rebranded 995's some are the newer rebranded 945's. I'm not accusing anyone of anything,just saying know what your buying,when in doubt ask the seller. Either model is available for under 5$!!! For the record the 995 is a kick azz servo minus the circuit board issues and the 945 does claim to have fixed those issues.....could be worth a try |

I picked up one of the power hd 1501's for a buddy of mine. It is a great servo for the money, and I think I picked it up from valuehobby.com for 13.30. I definatly believe it has the advertised torque. Also it is definatly NOT a rebaged towerpro. Completly different case, and the case halves have slicon seals on them, so they may be pretty waterproof out of the box. My buddy has ran his underwater without a problem yet. I would reccommend the power hd servos for sure  |

The hextronic hx12k is the best budget servo I've found. It seems decent until you put 7v to it and it really wakes up. It is super fast, very strong (over 200oz @ 7v) and doesn't strain the bec nearly as much as the power hd's, etc usually do. Then there's the price, it's like $7. I think hobbyking sold out already but I grabbed 2 from their last batch and will probably buy more once they are back in stock. I don't know how long they will last, especially on 7v but since I'm just bashing I'll just pick up some spares and change them out if/when they die. |

anybody tried this one?? http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store...idProduct=9983 31kg torque for $60, seems pretty reasonable to me, i ahve ordered lots of other stuff from hobbykign and never had a bad product, so i'd assume the reliability of this would be comparable. |

A fraction of what cost? That's the same as the hextronic I posted about for twice the hobbyking price :p

I run the RC4WD servo and its held up fine for about a year now . It seems even stronger than its rated . My rig is heavy at 11lbs with chisels so it can be hard to steer at times but the servo has never stalled on me . I bump it up to 7.2v sometimes and never any problems . Even through water no problems . I would definately recommend it 2 anyone .
