Includes 1 review aggregated from around the web.
There are very few reviews for this servo on the web. Buyers who reviewed it on a large retailer are happy: one robot builder was pleased that it is hard to backdrive and runs even below its rated voltage, and another called it a very good full-metal servo that comes with a wide range of horns and brackets. A few makers on forums struggled with it when powering it from an Arduino or an underpowered supply, which is a power-setup problem, since this servo needs a supply that can deliver several amps. No failure reports were found.
