At least it's using steel gears this time around.

Anyone have any experience with this one? I haven’t seen an independent test of the torque yet. I saw the 555 went much higher than advertised, but the 444 (or whatever the number was) was less.

Welcome to the site! Why would you want a Reefs? For a few bucks more you can have the ultra reliable Savox 2290 or for a bunch less you can have the Savox 1230. Or you you get the Holmes SHV500v3 that will smoke the 555 and it's a little cheaper!

Finding them in stock is the issue. I can’t seem to be fast enough to grab the v3

I set up email stock notifications on the Holmes website as well as at my favorite resellers. As soon as I saw the email I snagged one.

I have a bunch of savox servos. 1230, 1268, 1231, 1283... I was disappointed to see the 2290 at 500 ounces when actually tested compared to the numbers they advertise. (Still a beast no doubt). Getting a v3 in Canada for a reasonable price is not going to happen in any kind of reasonable time frame. I see mixed reviews on the raw 500 and found it in stock for a decent price. (Less than $129)
I’ll probably just end up with a 2290 in the end. It’s $20 more than the raw 500 online for us up north.

Who did the servo testing - some YouTuber?

I'll have to check it out. I never put any stake in what one YouTuber says, but if it's a common finding then it's more credible. I've never measured the output of the 2290, but it's never left me wanting more power in the real world.

I'll take a hard pass on anything from reefs. 2 reefs servos didn't last 2 months. I'll stick with Savox and HH servos.
