Just making a good product better without charging more... Isn't that what a good manufacturer is supposed to do?

The 5985MG is basically the same servo as the 5945MG but with the bushed case top like we use in the HS5955TG.

Status: online 		O.K. I'm all for quality Improvemnt. The bushing in the top case is definatley a great Improvement.
The 5945 Is all I use and It has been a great servo. Sounds like the 5985 is the same, but Improved.
