Question does this sound realistic? (mg995's)

found this on ebay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/2-x-MG995-Metal-...em270032538153 for 50$ it seems like a steal for 2 servo's that pump out 208oz of torque... am I missing something? are these things crap or what?

I am going to run it in a 2.2 tlt with novak XRS esc and stock traxxas reciever. I havent decided a battery yet, so I really need input on the options I have with my setup.

i dunno about the quality of them but if they work they are a great deal....
really great.... i mean it's a servo and voltage tops out @ 8.4v so i guess it should work very well @ 6v go for it and be sure to report back for us...

2 for $50 isn't that great of a deal. I bought 2 for around $30. Search on Ebay for "12kg servo" you will come up with an hxt brand that is the same servo and cheaper.

You want to serch for a 15kg servo the hxt is the lower version of the 995.

but yeah $50 for 2 is not that great of a deal. I got 7 for just under $100 shipped

well on that ebay listing they werent actually 50$ i was just saying that 50$ for 2 servos that pump out 208 oz of torque sounds really cheap. if you look at the hitec 645 its like 40 just for one on tower... plus i'm looking at an auction that is going to end in 7 minutes for 3$
