if you want a budget servo ive had no problems with my cs-170 also a lot of ppl have had luck with savox servos. I wouldnt waste the money on one of these.

No not too good to be true. Cheap knockoffs are all over evilbay. You will never know how good they are till you buy & test one. Then you will only know how good THAT ONE is, the next will likely be different. I say buy 3-5 & hope for a good one.
Disposable is always cheaper than something backed with parts & service.
If you get a bad Hitec,Futaba,Savox,JR,Airtronics,Spektrum...etc new you can get some parts & service from the manufacturer, those you just buy another & thats it.

Where are all these people? I know of none. I went 0 for 4 with savox, sent 3 back & the most expensive one burnt again. FWIW, savox sucks.

I have never had a single issue with Savox.. I run one on my 2.2s and my wraith. Buddy of mine runs the same servo in his 2.2s, wraith, and TTC rig.. with no problems

I guess Im cheap, but i run nothing but towerpro and bluebird servos from hobbyking and other such sites. Never had any problems. Maybe I'm lucky, or maybe relabeled parts aren't so bad.

Been running that servo in my 1.9 scaler and exo without any problems. Wouldn't use it in a comp truck though as I don't feel it has enough torque for 2.2's. Hobbyking carries these for less also.

lol, none!

I have a cs-170 that's been bombproof thru a few diff rigs an run Hitech in everything else.. electronics is not the place to skimp on.. even they have had there problems, not mine, but till that problem, if there ever is one, its worth ever penny up to that point an even after, just send it to hitech.. (so I hear)..

You just drive too crazy!

I have a Savox in my Wraith, EXO and a couple 1/10 race cars and haven't ever had one break or burn out.
