Tower Pro MG968 Servo I came across this servo over in the "New Products and Great Deals" section of the forum and was just curious if anyone has tried it out yet? Says it is 333 oz. and is just under $50 at LockedUp RC. Thinking of getting one for a LNC. |
Re: Tower Pro MG968 Servo if its the same servo as what i have looked at before they were given bad reviews for them being noisy. I can't remember the exact model that those reviews were for though. You should be able to search the model on google and find out more about it from people that have purchased it before. |
Re: Tower Pro MG968 Servo Thanks for your response. I've tried a google search, but can't find anything specific to this model servo. I can find reviews on Amazon for other Tower Pro servos, and they actually have pretty good reviews...just nothing on this particular one unfortunately. I'm guessing because it's so new. |

I used to run those on my comp shafty back when Wheely Kings were still competitive. :mrgreen: All of the electronics were updated by Tower Pro for 2015. The 2015 versions are MUCH better servos and I believe we are the only ones carrying them so far. "thumbsup" |

This servo is no more noisy than any other servo, makes less noise than my Tactic TSX55 and about the same as my Futaba S3305. It's also noticeably quicker than the TSX55 and Futaba S3305. It has a full metal gear set and brass bushings in the top plate to help support the gear shafts. |
Re: Tower Pro MG968 Servo Ive ran the servo twice now and its super quiet, doesn't make any noise at all, unlike my hitec 7950 always does trying to hold center. Its just as quick as my hitec as well. Cant go wrong with it being 34 bucks on locked up, but they need to get more in. It can run at 6.6v too, so it will get more oz and speed. |
Re: Tower Pro MG968 Servo is this a 24 or 25 tooth servo? the other tower pros are 25 tooth |

Re: Tower Pro MG968 Servo For sure, locked up offered to tap mine but ill most likely do it my self. Picked up M3x0.5 as well. |
Re: Tower Pro MG968 Servo If somebody can do a comparison between the 958 and the 968 it will be very helpful. I have the 958 and they are superb! Very strong (feels more than they rated for) fast and super quiet, so quiet that I almost accidentally burned one yesterday (was fully locked for several minutes due to Tx programming failure and I couldn't here anything). For 12$ it's a bargain! The 968 looks exactly the same and I got the feeling that the only difference is the sticker and the price.. Can't believe that they can improve this servo nor they need to. |

Re: Tower Pro MG968 Servo Where did you got those numbers from? TowerPro MG958 Servo Specifications and Reviews TowerPro MG968 Servo Specifications and Reviews The difference is 4kg @6v, if the numbers are true.. But the price is more than double. |
