The price isn’t bad, but that’s a very crowded price point. The specs are good. I just hope it’s not just another Chinese servo.

Just ordered one for the trx6 which I’ll be keeping at 6.0 volts, hopefully it’s as good as advertised

Thanks for sharing!

What's the minimum order for JX to put my name on those?

You're right. That looks like a dead ringer. Maybe, just maybe only the case is the the same, but if the specs are the same I'm not too hopeful. To be determined I guess.

I'm not saying BeefTubes is, because their servo hasn't even tested by the general public as of yet, but I have no idea why companies put their reputation on a rebranded, Chinese servo.

Definitely looks a lot like the 7146. The only difference I can see in the listings is titanium coated steel gears on the beef tubes list, vs anodized Taiwan steel gears. Could certainly be the same thing by two different names.

I’m not sure how much use it will see in my trx6 but I’ll update here on my experience with it.

Well, the 12V models (e.g CLS-12V7346) are a direct rip off of the HH SHV500 V1 so maybe Beef Tubes didn't want to go near that

Having said that, I suspect all the "46Kg" JX servos are fairly similar and along with the Beef Tubes version, come nowhere near their rated specs

BEEF TUBE!! Lmao! Sorry I’m not judging the servo whatsoever, just can’t get over the name. Sounds like something you’d see on the late night Cinemax channel guide.

I was wondering what the price point was on this. Nonetheless, the next high end servo I plan on getting is the new Holmes.

Same! I’ve been servo starved waiting for these to come back.

Ended up grabbing a couple more MKS550s, and this beef tubes servo, but starting to regret the latter

It is a rebrand. Beef Tubes admitted it.
This is what buying American looks like now? Lol
