Queefs triple pickle is a turd servo. Pretty decent torque but that comes at the expense of it being geared way down to achieve the numbers. Yea, yea I know "I don't want a fast servo" cool, most would like the wheels to turn some time today.

Aluminum gears are craptacular and the output gear will kick its splines off if you use the supplied screw. Been there, broke that.

You must not believe the farcebeek warriors!

How dare you talk facts, and not like titanium coated aluminum gears:lmao::lmao:

Imported parts, lots of stories on farcebeek about legendary quality.

I will say they did impress the RPP folks somehow, Nate any poop?:roll:
 
For my rigs - DS3218.
Cheap and good. When they get sloppy I swap in a new one. Strong enough for what I do with my rigs.
My RR10 Bomber got a HH one - excellent.

ReefsRC is super popular here in so-Cal. Nice bunch of guys, great following, very involved with the hobby/sport.

My next high-$$ servo would likely be a ProModeler.
 
For cheap stuff I also like my DS3218 (in the Ascender), and I'll be trying out my DS3218 Pro next in the Enduro, supposedly slightly quicker and stronger spec- and also my DS3225 is going in the TRX-4 to be tested out.

Bomber keeps the HH SHV500v1 that's still running strong. I have a ProModeler DS470BLSHV as well, but it's not currently in a rig - saving it for Bomber #2 to be completed.

Whatever I get next depends on what vehicle I go with.
 
I swore someone had recently linked an aluminum cased micro servo, but after skimming back through the last 5 or so pages, I guess I'm trippin'?

Anyway, what's out there for decent micro servos? I used to use MG90S's on my kids' 1/18 Dromidas, and I'm going to need something the same size for a dig servo. The mg90s is dirt cheap, reasonably strong too, but they have a bastard spline count (I think it was 21?) and only had brittle ABS servo horns that snapped if you looked at them wrong. I ordered a handful of aluminum servo horns that were advertised to fit the mg90, but not one of them fit, that seems to be its Achilles heel. I see the all kinds of rebranded versions of the same thing, but only a couple that are different like the spendy little Savox SW1250, but I'm not feelin' $64 for a micro, this is the cheap servo thread afterall. What are the trx4 guys using to replace their micro servos?

edit: bonus points if it can run 7.4v+

EcoPower came out with these for use as TRX-4 micro servos:

EcoPower makes one for half that price, but only 6v...

EDIT: Wow, I need to refresh a little more often...
