That's not so cheap! LOL
Plus $12 for a horn. Now you're at $72.



But for 400oz/in not bad. I wonder what power consumption is. I sure wish specs included amps at stall at their rated volts. I guess if you add a BEC it doesn't matter. [shrug]

More than the Savox 1230 and 1231?

Only Savox I own is a 2290.
Everything else failed

There is still a plastic gear in it. And not really budget.

Over $100 for a plastic top/bottom case servo?

Not interested (just my opinion)

(Supposed to be the CHEAP servo thread!)

It's exactly the same size as the Traxxas servo, and shorter than the other 2 DS servos - making it an easier swap for most RTR servos.

We shall see how it performs... I'll report back to this thread.

Specs and price are awesome on this. I just bought the DSSERVO 3225 (the blue 270 one) but the DS3235sg is the same price and 100 oz/in more

I ordered the ds3235 should be here tomorrow to try out.

How's the DS3235 (35kg) panning out for you guys so far?

(Literally) just installed it in a rig, but gotta do some more tweaking before it's got all the electronics hooked up and hits the dirt - hopefully before next weekend.

The DS3218 Pro ran great in the Enduro, but I doubted it would have any real issues being such a light truck - no mods from stock other than steel beadlocks and different tires.

I never bought one in the end because they're not waterproof. However, so far so good with the 3225

Edit: Scratch that, I was looking at the wrong one (The RDS3235). This is the correct one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3301...3-8fa1ba031546

I have this servo and also the DS3225 (25kg) variant. They are waterproof (so far ). Very happy with them. There are no other servo on the market with these parameters and price.

The DS3235 is very quiet also. These are my go to cheap servos.

Also i'm very happy with this guy also. 46kg on 3S directly from battery. Also there is no other servo with these parameters for $40.

I run my rc cars for hundreds of miles and very rarely these servos burn out

But its from China and a lot of the guys on this forum prefer to buy from USA manufacturers
In Europe i don't have such luxury.

The 46kg servo you listed has been discussed quite a bit in this thread. The gist of it is that it's a stolen Holmes Hobbies design by his OEM's ex-employee.

EDIT: Edited for clarity

I chuckled.
A stolen design from an (admitted) stolen design, so it should actually work and last longer.

I don't even see that Holmes makes a servo.

I messed up the wording...

Here's John's post. - What the newest cheap servo hotness?

Amain still has his servos listed.

I've noticed he delisted it on his site as well. Not sure if that means something new is coming out or not.

There's been whispers of a V3 for some time now.

[mikemcE]

The JX was stolen from JRH original V1 , flaws and all. The V2 was a big improvement, and the new V3 should be better. John designs things, not rebrand them.
