Love all 4 of mine! Only issue was a broken ear one the super after a nasty tumble. Repaired it and still in use! |

i bought some towerpro 995mg and they were a peice of crap. you can ask all the sercrc guys that saw it. at first the problem was my fault. i tried to power two 55t lathes and two servos off of some AA or 2/3a battery packs. that didnt' cut it because i wasnt getting enough amps. so then i changed to sub c's for the motors and 2/3a reciever pack. that still didt cut it. the servos either didnt respond or wouldnt return to center and this is just sitting on a rock and not under a load. in one day at a comp, the first servo stripped out before i even made it to gate 4 and the other burned up as soon as the comp was over and we were just playin around. imo, they are a piece of crap. i have now gone to the airtronics. i guess you get what you pay for since i only paid $50 for both. dez seems to not have a problem with them.

I'm lucky w/ electronics I guess. When I can afford it, I want to switch to the Rock Crushers as well. As long as the Tower Pro's still keep kicking *** on the rocks, I keep putting the purchase of new servos off.  |

I've loved all my towerpros... If you run 7.2 volts through them they have over 300 ounces of torque! I have abused them alot and not had any problems... |

I had a pair in The General tuber. They worked fine just a little under powered cause I have a small battery setup. Even with the lack of power they performed well with no real issues.
