Default Seen this servo?
Anyone know about these? Who really makes them? Doesn't seem like it should be true.http://www.ebay.com/itm/CRAWLER-STEE...-/230694999673

I would like to know more about this too. The specs/price are awesome. But, is it just me or does the top half of the servo that has the mounting tabs on it look like it is spray painted?

I'm thinking that's what rc4wd or some other companies sell for a strong budget servo....

Well its not like people on eBay ever embellish their product!

I figured someone would know it's actual origin.

Has anyone ever built a rig to test a servos actual strength?

I asked the seller some basic questions about it... Well I will let you see what he said LOL

Dear slx12001,

Do you know where this servo is made? Also, what is the name of the servo manufacturer. It looks amazing, but usually servos of this quality are very expensive and this looks a little to good to be true.

Thanks

Dear turboshadowwa,

Hello, Thanks for your interest. This is an amazing servo for the money. I have sold thousands of servos. There is no better servo for the money. Thanks again, DOUG.

Dear slx12001,

Thanks for the quick reply, but you failed to answer either of my questions.

Dear turboshadowwa,

Hello, This servo like airtronics, futaba, hitec, ect is made in china. It's an oem brand servo. Thanks.

So the seller keeps skirting my question, although he did answer where the servo is made. But the way he blatantly blew me off in his first reply and then still skirted question really makes the guy seem shady to me. Probably much better off with the HK one. In fact, I think Im gonna pick a couple of the HK ones up!
