Tonight I stripped mine on first rocks I crawled up. no second hole in this one tho. Same gear you're talking about tho. sent a message to hobbyking. We'll see how that goes. Guess I need to just bite the bullet and get that PM470 I've always wanted.

Get the PM.

You won’t ever go back.
Smooth,quiet, bulletproof

I'm about ready for a hi-torque with bec too, the 300oz/in servos stall out in the rocks. Can be annoying on highly technical tracks.

Thanks for that I got one of those 2 with a bec for under 140. It's still sitting on the shelf till I decide which rig needs more power.

Awesome! Yeah, I got hooked on these last year after seeing the posts by Ryan (White Trash) and trying one out, hes always got hardcore parts in the crawling scene so I took his advice. I would like to try the PM 630 and a g13 some day but between my Holmes and 2290's I have been more than pleased so far

The DS3218 from Ali-Express is coming up on sale for $6.59 - get 'em while ya can.

These work fine in all of my 1.9 crawlers with the exception of my main comp-crawler, the one with all the mods that I run in comps. It's just not strong enough when wedged in between rocks. This poor rig gets just hammered.

Thanks for the heads up! Been wanting to get a couple of these to give away on my channel and one to give making a internal spool servo winch a try. Thank you!

Let's see what the sale actually produces - it starts Friday I think, or something.
I just tried to add 3 to my 'cart' and they were still $12 and change. Still a deal, but $6 and change would be a STEAL-DEAL.

I'm down to one left - 4 of my 5 rigs have them, the latest is the TRX4 sport kit - was nice to have one with a alloy horn on hand. I had a extra HW1080 on hand as well - they were on sale for like $35 not that long ago.

[HugoBiermann]

Yea! I’m gonna be watching that myself. One spare doesn’t feel right to me either.

Thanks for the heads up on the sale. Got them in 2 of 3 of my rigs. It'll be nice to grab a few spares

I have the homes v2 shv, had a holmes v1 shv and a g13, I cant tell the difference on them. except the holmes v1 broke more, of course it also had a pretty hard lifethough.

I guess this is a false alarm - I could not get the $6+/- price to come up - still $12 and change. Oh well.

according to the page it doesn't start for another 8+ hours, which is strange because yesterday I swear it said there was 18 hours left. Maybe they're only releasing so many per day or something?

That servo is offered in two rotations. Interesting...

180° or 270° doesn't really matter in our application. I think I ended up with a 270° ds3218 in my Slash.

This. Your radio won't push it any further anyway. So either works. They're for robotics. And a 360* version for some as well.

I tried the link again today and still $12 and change. I'm just not seeing why they're advertising a $6 price. Maybe if you buy a hundred of them. LOL

There are a lot of others on there too - a 25kg/cm that looks interesting - 2.7ah on stall, metal gears. Might be worth trying a couple of them.

[durok]

Only matters if your controller sends the right kind of signal, which doesn't happen with land vehicle transmitters...

My Ascender runs the 270deg.

I'm trying out the DS3218-Pro version next, in my TRX-4.

[TheLetterJ]

I didn't even notice there was a "PRO" version, good find! to compare:

ds3218: 18kg/.16s @ 5v, 21.5kg/.14s @ 6.8v

ds3218 pro: 21kg/.12s @ 5v, 23.5kg/.09s @ 6.8v

My only complaint was that the 3218 was too slow (seemingly slower than advertised) for anything faster than a crawler, so this new "pro" version looks to address that nicely. I'll have to pick one up and trade it out for the normal version already in my Slash.

[JSterrett]

When I checked it the other day, the only $6 option was for just the horn by itself. I've seen China sellers do it a lot on ebay too, it's a scammy way to get to the top of the list when sorted for lowest price...
