Definitely not. I had 4 and it was a total waste of money. They did not last long at all. You would be better off spending a little more and having a quality servo.

I use a servo similar, it's a Tower Pro, cheap and strong enough and have always been durable. They also list them under MG995 name as well on eBay.

The tower pro servos are crap, I've went through more than 6,

Some even burn up first time there used,

If its a budget powerful servo you need, give the power HD 1501 mg 17kg servo a try,

Running two of these servos and they are great, alloy bodied and metal geared,

For the money they won't be beat.

Ihave this in my Flux and it can't be beat. If you can win this one for not much more than the starting price then you're doing good. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Airtronics-9...item1c2a7ca4c6

It will crank the wheels while the truck is stopped without hesitation.

Yep the hobbico cs170 is a great servo, I run them myself,

But for a small budget the power HD servos are good too.

Even on a budget, i would still save up and buy a good quality servo. It will save you so many headaches down the road
