yeah, this "deal" seems to be bunk. The good news is that I found the Pro model on Aliexpress for about $14, which still seems like a great deal.

Hugo's link for the 'pro' version is $46 and change for four, free ship. Reasonable deal. I have not heard or seen comments on the 'pro' verses their standard DS series servos.

I haven’t seen any comments on the pro either. I always order the 180deg standard version. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I bought my Pro DS3218 a few months ago, but haven't got around to installing it in the Defenestrator TRX-4 yet. The price point was to where I felt that I could be a guinea pig. Since my purchase I did read a review about one not returning to center very well, but we shall see. I was one of the early (if not the first) adopters of the standard DS3218 here and never regretted that purchase! |

The irony. Traded off my last spare servo this morning and my son killed off his mg958 an hour or so later. It just went all jittery after a year of very frequent use with 5.4" Boggers and a 5 year old driver. No complaints there, and I would definitely recommend them. I asked my son if he was fine with buying more mg958's, but he said "maybe just a little more power..." I considered trying out the JX CLS6336HV, but it's still a bit of an unknown as I've only read of 2 people running them. Always on the hunt for a better value, I just ordered up a 4 pack of the ds3218 Pro's for $46. I know the specs say otherwise, but the 3218 I already have is noticeably slower and has a tad less torque than the mg958's, so I've got my fingers crossed that the Pro version will be a little stronger, and a little faster, as advertised.

I ordered a ds3218 and some other goodies before the sale ended yesterday. Now time to wait the 25-35 days to get everything from China. Ready to have some new stuff to throw on my rigs

Would be nice if they reported power consumption. I imagine for a 468oz/in rated servo an external bec will be mandatory. Might work good on a mambax with its 10ah built in bec. That is damn cheap for a servo with that much power - so now you have a pretty good idea of what the servo companies are paying for them in bulk from china, selling them for four to five times that retail. I'm in the wrong business. |

| Re: What the newest cheap servo hotness? That's what I have found out. The hard way. A powerful servo with aluminum gears is asking to be disappointed. Waiting on my warranty replacement Turnigy 959v2 from China. Unfortunately it's on backorder. Think it'll be a servo winch. About to buy a Promodeler 470. Not gonna deal with stripping out another gear in the 959 |
