Default These servos worth it?

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...12sec_78g.html

been eyeing these servos for the twin hammers, but I don't know for sure if they will hold up to the beating I put the hammers through. Anyone else try these out?

Seems pricey to me. I run solar d772 servos. Same voltage range. Order from hobbypartz.com pay $20+$6 shipping have it in 5-7 days.
Bigger servo, cheaper.
Just my opinion...
International shipping from hobbyking takes FORever!

Sabin if you are in the States do what robertjpjr says. Get one of those ZSolar servos man. They are legit. You're not doing so much crawling in TH as you are other rigs so you can maybe get by on a servo that gives out around 300oz of torque @ 6V. Other servos to look at are Savox, Hitec and Futaba. You will pay more for the Hitec and Futaba. savox are proced in the middle.

Again, Solar are best bang-for-your-buck man.

Much as I'd like to get those servos, I'm going to get just skewered on shipping. The rates to canada are just criminal, even though it doesn't go very far. So that's why I'm looking overseas mainly.

If you plan on going through hobbyking international expect a month to a month and a half delivery time. Just an FYI

I get stuff from hobby king over seas in 2-3 weeks. From the us in 2 days.

I'd recommend the hxt 10kg servo.

Yeah I know. I built my heli with half the stuff from there, so I'm familiar with the wait times.
