Reviews (24)

Includes 22 reviews aggregated from around the web.

Owners rate this small ball-bearing mini servo very highly; buyer ratings on a large retailer listing average about 4.6 out of 5 across dozens of ratings, and every written review found is positive. Buyers call it a good-quality, very good servo for its size, use it as an elevator servo in small planes and in pylon racers (one has used them for years), and note it is easy to convert to continuous rotation. RC forum users add that many people run it in a wide variety of applications with little drama. Its nylon gear train is the known limit, so it suits sport and general use better than heavy loads. Complaints are rare.
