| "CKRC Special" MG946R, 208oz Torque Metal Gear Servo
anybody have any experience with this servo? i have an HS-985mg in one rig and am wondering if it would be an upgrade or a downgrade to put this ckrc servo in my other rig. normally i would just stick to what i know works (the hs985mg).. but this ckrc is only $20 bones! and appears to have higher power spec readings than the 985. anybody have any advice? thanks |

Well for $20 id say give it a shot and if it fries your only out $20. All I know is I placed an order with ckrc and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Not very happy with that company but, that's just me.

you can get better servo's on hobbyking. (i'm not affiliated with hobbyking, just been very happy with the product for the money) I have one of these in my scaler and I am very happy with it. HobbyKing R/C Hobby Store : HK15298B High Voltage Coreless Digital MG/BB Servo 66g / 20kg / 0.16s for a few bucks more you can get one of these, I have one on the way to test out. (looks very promising, I have a friend who swears by blue bird servos) HobbyKing R/C Hobby Store : BMS-2514 Coreless Digital Alloy Gear Servo - 25.5kg / 0.14s / 7.4V (High Voltage) dont forget to get a clamp on aluminum horn while you're at it.

| I figure if Fred000 suggests it then its worth 20 bucks 24 and some change to my door to be exact. Its a hong kong product of course there going to get some bad batches from time to time. Kind of like Sky lipos some hate them I love them. AND AT 277oz if it works I will be more than happy if its broke I got a winch |

Anyone try the EXI servos. Me and my friend have had great luck with them. Very good servos in my opinion. I have swapped all my servos to EXI but they need a lot of juice.

I ordered 3 of the 996r's from Hobbypartz (along with batteries etc) and had them to my door in 3 days. They are in the US and quick.

| 2-4 weeks, usualy around the 3 week mark for me (dont know if it'll be faster for americans), it seems that the lighter the box the faster it gets to you from there.

These servo's are crap. They were the rage a couple years ago when they came out and the older version of the same servo. There is a reason you don't see them a lot on here, they've been out for probably 5 years, so if they were awesome you'd see a lot of them around. They are EXTREMELY slow and compared to a Hitec (or another name brand servo) of the same oz-in rating they have way less power. I've probably gone through a dozen of the servo's at least a couple years ago and I just couldn't take it anymore. A Hitec 645mg is a much better servo, faster and feels about the same on power, for the price range. A Hitec 985mg is a heck of an upgrade from those servo's, that's what I originally upgraded to from the MG946R's. I was getting them for under $10 a piece back in the day and I still felt like it wasn't worth the money.
