Looking for reliable, and reasonably priced sport digital servos, standard size with about 50-70 in/oz torque. I have heard, some of the "off" brand servos are actually very good servos. Is this true?
What have you used with good results? And what should I stay away from?
I have never used digitals, and since I need some servos, thought now would be a good time to try them. I usually use HiTec servos, but, just looking to see what else is out there.

What is your price range?

I have been using Tactic servos from Tower hobbies and also XQ Power from Redwing RC with good results, I will say that on the Tactic servos it's been less than a year but so far all is well.

I'm sorry my response to "off brand servos" went over your tiny head. What I'm trying to tell you is, your plane is not worth sacrificing for questionable servos. HiTec has always been my choice.

I asked before without a response.... what price range are you guys looking at that would be considered a bargain for the performance? For example, one guy might consider $20 expensive where another might consider it extremely cheap. No use to suggest something if it's not in the range of what you want to spend.

I've had good results with Power HD 1501 servo's. These are analog, but deliver a lot of torque. It all depends on what sort of resolution (centering), and speed that you need.

You know, it is funny that only a few years ago Hitec was considered a "fringe" servo, especially among the giant scale and jet guys. Now they are pretty much the standard, except for some
die-hards that must use Futaba or JR...

exactly, servos are one of the most over hyped areas of our hobby, next to batteries

Hitec servos, well they used to be the ones that were the "off" brand and thought of as junk. I have been around long enough to remember Futaba as the junk plastic radio's. How times have changed.

I have Airtronics, Futaba, JR, Kraft, Hobby Shack, tower hobbies and a few Hitec's and lots and lots of other brands.

For the budget servo I have a dozen or so of these. They are in my 90fs Formula 3D, low wing trainer, (3) RC trucks, brothers and brother in laws planes and trucks. They work pretty well. They have a high torque and a high speed.

I haven't used any of them - yet. But a number of good flyers with big planes at my club are using them, particularly the 772's.

Nice prices and specs.

No. Nobody is saying that they are as good as $250 @ Futaba servos.

Solar brand servos from Hobby Partz are absolutely fabulous for the price.
