Servo Shopping.

In most cases I can’t imagine not buying a direct power servo anymore, especially in anything 1/10 or larger.
One advantage bec powered servos have is that they are kept at the same voltage at all times so performance should not degrade as the battery discharges. I don't usually run my packs down all the way to cutoff so i don't really notice much of a difference.

As far as crawlers go, I've got two savox 2290s in my fleet but the rest of my steering servos are direct power.
 
8 days total is not bad.

The thing is it is probably a true 555 oz-in of torque and not the China 800 oz-in that's more like 400 oz-in. You have a point with the half plastic case, but I've never broken a servo case even if they are plastic.
Ive broken them at the mounting tabs. No doubt a lot of servo manufacturers inflate their numbers, but i don't think it is that dramatic. At least on the name brands in that price range.

It seems hitec has kinda given up. The savox 2290 i mentioned earlier came out in ~2017 and it's still rated higher torque and is slightly faster.
