Reviews (10)

Includes 3 reviews aggregated from around the web.

Buyers say it is strong for the price but slower than advertised and inaccurate. A robot builder reported poor reliability and shaky feedback at higher voltages. Some larger Hextronik servos did well in one precision test. Reviewers see it as fine for low-cost projects but not for anything that needs reliability.

    Application(s): Steering servo for 1/10 Trail Trucks

    Comments: As a steering servo for SCX-10 and other trucks like it they've been great. These trucks travel as a walking pace so speed isn't an issue and the servo has ample torque for turning the tires when they're bound up.
