On the hunt for a servo that could handle my bomber, I found ServoAF on facebook and compared it with some of the other 100-150$ options
I definitely wanted metal case, after having my SAVOX crack, it also needed to be waterproof, and black.
The Model T fit the bill, there's not a lot of info on it so I'll keep a running review here.
First impressions,
It's WAY quieter and faster than the 1230sg, and it's mounting brackets lined way better than the HiTec HS-646WP I ran for a couple minutes. It's also not as tall as a 1230SG, which rubbed a little at the rear on the upper links, and pushed the drag link in front of the center link
Wires are definitely larger gauge or larger jacket than the Mamba X. Only running at 6 volts as it's the highest my Tactic TR325 can handle.
I'm not sure about other higher end options, but the Model T does not include any hardware, I mounted it into the metal vanquish servo mount with my own Stainless M3 screws and stainless washers, no rubber bushings.
I have 3 batteries through it and haven't had a single issue, it wasn't buzzing or fighting me at all while changing tires or tightening screws across the front end.
Looks great, matches hot racing trim (black with bare accent) and it's not gaudy, which I find most of the higher end servos to be.
I have been in contact with the owner of the company, and he's been very helpful with answering all my nonsense questions. Complete 180 from the customer service I have received from both HiTec and Savox.
Not the servo's fault, but I did have to trim down the 24mm horn and use the 20mm mounting hole, otherwise it would rub on the differential cover. Seems like less work than flipping the servo, draglink, and wiring. It's been hit or miss between the 3 servos I've used on the bomber so far, currently the drag link sits behind my center link, whereas before my drag link stuck out quite a ways.
