Default ServoCity

Anyone here ordered from http://www.servocity.com ?
It appears they market more to the robot hobby, but their prices on Futaba servos are pretty darned good.

Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with them?

Yes, I've ordered from them quite a bit. Their prices are good and I've always gotten great service and fast shipping.

Excellent!
I am pretty impressed with all the accessory brackets and mounts they have on that site too. Looks like some of that stuff could be used to solve some tricky control geometry problems in our models too.
Thanks for the reply.

I ordered about a bunch of servos from them today, and I will let you guys know when they arrive.
Maybe I will even get pics of the candy.

I have used the company once so far. I had my item in a day.. The BR3000 futaba battery checker. Very good people. And you get free candy with your order..

We use them at times here at work on UAS programs. The boxes get opened by receiving to make sure that nothing hazardous in there, and again by the buyer to make sure that it is all there, and amazingly last week my candy was still there!

I have always had good experiences with Servo City and they sometimes run specials that are hard to beat.

I have delt with ServoCity almost since they stated. They started out as BTR Robotics. Of course I live in Winfield, Ks where they are located. If I need something I just go out to their new building I have known Brian and his dad almost as long. I have yet to have a bad experience in my dealings with them. And by the way Brian is a darn good modeler

Big fan of Servo City! It's where I go for servos and extensions. As has been mentioned, good prices, fast shipping, just great people to do business with.

Oh yes, the little bag of Tootsie Rolls that come with the order get put on the work bench shelf for a little treat...I always look forward to this "surprise inside" of the box

I doubt it Bob.

I'll tell you what though, if you buy some servos for me, I will buy you a bag of tootsie rolls.
