We never have sales outside of the TNTD competition but .....

To help spread the word about these great updated servos, we've teamed up with the makers of the Tower Pro MG968 Servo and are now offering them at 30% off.

This is a great chance to own a nice, digital, coreless and powerful (333in/oz @ 6v) servo for only $33!!!

This IS for a limited time only... so get them while you can!

I saw on another website these have a 24T output like the Hitec servos, is that correct?

Just to double check I opened one and it's 25T.

I got a chance to test out the servo with my buddy that got one recently. The performance was great all day, plenty of torque, centered reliably, and didn't make too much noise. I wouldn't call it waterproof but the case is well sealed with o-rings so don't be afraid of splashes or mud. There were only two minor issues we encountered (and maybe good things to note on the website):

1)Tried a 25T horn at first but it kept slipping, found out it is actually a 24T output. Changed to a Hitec servo horn and no more slipping.

2)The screw used to secure the horn is also the same funky size as what Hitec uses. The correct replacement size is M2.6x8, HPI sells a cap head version of these to replace the soft phillips head screw that comes with the servo (part # HPIZ421).

Overall, this servo is very impressive and a fantastic value. It should be the new king of budget servos once everyone gets to hear about them and see them in action.
