bluebird servos???

[eyeopenher]

opinions on them. like alot of others they say they are water resistant and they have some heat sinks on them... look ok for the money. so lets hear what you got to say about em.. thanks guys...

Yes I have run them. They are cheap but can not take the beating that a crawler stearing can produce. I went through 2 at one comp and ended up putting my hitec 645 back in to finish the comp. You will not save any money with these, look at a proven servo for a little more money and you will saving money. You will only have to buy one and it will last. I now run a 7995 at 7v and have had it for 2 years with no problems.

Same here, i thought it was cheap, and i run a bluebird that dry my bateries in less than an hour, sometimes doesnt turn and stuck the crawler, nice pice of crap.

I have one, and would not use it on a comp rig because every once in awhile it will stop working then it comes back to life. ???. I'd use it on a scaler.

i was looking into this one for my scaler build.....

I just got one of these in the mail:

Similar specs to the last post.

Looks really nice and runs smooth. Feels heavy. Don't know what I will put it in yet, guess I just had to have it because it was shiny

EDIT: sorry - off topic. Supposed to be about Bluebird servos.

I been wondering about that one... I just pulled the trigger on the savox servo mentioned above.(http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...tal-Gear-Servo 40 bucks is pretty good deal. I have ordered from hobbyking allot in the past with luck but by the time i figured in shipping and whatnot on the chinese servos it made sense to go with a name brand high quality servo for 39.99.

I am really curious to see how that all alloy servo works out. keep us posted. I won;t deny the fact that it looks awesome!! does it look as good in person as their stock photo.

[heyok]

It does look really good!

I'll try and remember to report how it works.

I use the Blue Bird BMS-660 MG Hi-Torque with heat sink in all my scalers, and beat the hell out of them all. The only failure I've ever had, was a gear stripping, I ordered another gear set for $4 and when I got it it was a different pitch, but it was the complete set so it didn't matter, that servo works better then ever. I've even used them in a pinch in a 2.2 comp crawler, for a comp, with no issues at all. I know some hate them, but for the money, they beat the hell out of the Hi-Tec 645's I used to use. If you do buy one, be sure to get the BMS-660 MG "hi-torque" they also have a BMS-660 hi-speed, which is worthless in a scaler or crawler.
Just my Nickels worth

I have been tossing around idea of getting that servo for last 2 weeks then I decided to go with a Savox SC-0251. I may still order a bms 660 as a backup. i this hobby you can never have too many servos!! lol

Buddy of mine tried a bluebird in his scaler and it not only stopped working but locked everything up :( Once he replaced the servo, the entire truck worked again--go figure..

I bought a BMS-705MG Low Profile High Torque for my MRC. Had if for a couple of months and so far so good.
