Was not aware they were involved in that debacle.

Any thought on Reef's? I had a $20 off coupon so I decided to get one. All my others are Savox. It is mounted and set up but have not run the vehicle yet.

To my knowledge, REEFS were the one's that pirated the HH servo design. But, I was unaware that 3BROS had as well apparently so............... | |

I had thought that JX was the bad apple so I dug into the high-end servo thread. That's where I discovered that 3Bros was suspect. I likely wouldn't have bought my G13 had I known but it's too late now. At least I already have a Holmes motor and 3 of his servos so I don't feel too bad but still.

Back to the MKS550, since I said it was noisy I felt an example is warranted. Not quite as bad as savox, but the speed and power are there so I’m impressed so far. |

The 2290 is quiet, mine definitely doesn't make noise constantly like that does

If I had the money I would buy a Tekin or the Savox 2290.

I am running Hitec HSB-9475SH (and 9465 + 9485 as well) brushless servos as steering servos in different crawler rigs. Progammable, powerful, fast, low noise, reliable and low amp draw.

Have you looked at the Futaba A700? 1,027oz/0.12s at 7.4v. Real world, I'd say it's on par, or maybe slightly stronger than a 2290. The A700 is at least a little quiter too, but the 2290 isn't really loud anyway (as compared to a 1230/1231, Mg959, or Jx 46kg... it's not near silent like my Promodelers though.) Of the 2 (A700 and 2290) I'd feel most comfortable recommending the 2290, but only because I've run the crap out of it for 1 1/2 years without a single hiccup, I've only had the A700 in use for a bit less than 6 months so I don't feel thats been long enough to vouch for it's long term durability. Either of them can wag an 8lb 2.2 car. I know they're listed at $250, but there's a handful of credible vendors that sell the A700 for significantly less, so price isn't that far off from a 2290, Protek 370tbl, or Tekin T440. |

Holmes just released his new servo. It's for sale on his website. Check it out

| Re: High End Servo Suggestions
I'm looking to sell off some parts in the next week or so to fund me a new servo. I currently have the turnigy 959v2 running at 6v from Castle 10amp BEC in my 8lb+ Trx. It has been a decent servo other then the aluminum gear on the output stripping a few times. Hobbyking sent me new servos instead of replacement gears. Now after about a year of use I'm noticing it getting weaker. So time to upgrade. I've had my eye on a PM470 since I first got my Trx, but not wanting to run an extra battery for it (I run 3s) and the issues I'm seeing guys have. Has made me wanna stay away. The savox 2290 is very interesting, but I can't handle the noise. 3bros and reefs caught my interest until I found out about them using HH design. Is the only other option the new HH HV500V3? I'm a total budget guy and dropping $100+ for a servo is a hard pill for me to swallow. So I want to make sure whatever I buy is going to do what I'm after and be completely reliable. My requirements 400+ oz in. any range of power between 6v and 12v is fine. Quiet and reliable. What's you guys thoughts? Anyone ran the new HH yet? Thanks for any help!!! |

| Re: High End Servo Suggestions
Look at post #36. I even made referrence to how the 2290 is quieter than an mg959, so if you're okay with the noise of your current servo, the 2290 won't bother you at all. If you want quieter still, go with the Futaba A700. I don't have experience with a Promodeler 630, but I do have 420's and 470's and they are not even in the same league as the 2290 or A700 when it comes to power (the mg959 has much more oomph than the PM's too, but durability sucks) they are ultra quiet though. I've come to the conclusion that it's best to either suck it up and buy high-end, or settle with an uber-cheap (<$20) servo, almost everything in between has been a disappointment for me. My vote is to go with the proven durability of the 2290.
