Decent prices, + he has 10% off & free shipping on $100 orders. And to boot, good communication (e mails). Seems like a straight shooter.
You can see his add here sometimes.

Hitec and gas
I use hitec servos in everything I own and havnt had a problem. I use 605 on the ail. and 625 mg on the ele in three of my gas planes with no problem. I thought about digital in my 42 percent but have since decided on hitec highend corless. I read alot of the posts on digital servo problems and have seen complaints, but I see complaints about all digitals from all different companies. I think I will stick with coreless servos for now.And I will also stick with hitec.

Straight from "Mr. HiTec"
I've been using the HiTec digitals for over 2 years now. I've had one 5945 fail due to feedback when it got hot, and a 5735 just lost an amplifier, either refused to move or moved very slowly/without strength. Other than that, with about 30 digitals in hand I've had zero problems. both of the "failed" servos were 1st generation production, not quite as refined as the newer ones. I use them in 40% IMAC planes, slo-fly night flyers and my latest Laser 3D funfly.
Other great servos from HiTec are the 945/925 series with the coreless motors. . very fast and powerful. I ahd a set with 300+ flights before I changed gears on them. the 625/645 servos are nice too, and less expensive with the 3-pole motors. The 805 series MEGA servos are all I run on rudder on the big stuff, except for multiple 5735's now that they are available. Never a problem with the 805's.
As for interference from ignitions. . not an issue. . ever, even with the servos 6" from the ignition box.

Hey beavertail,
the 605 are 77oz/in and the 645 are 107oz/in both rated at 4.8v My only complaint with the 645 is that it is a little slow at .24sec/60^
Other than that, no complaints on the Hitec servos here. Why pay more for the same product...... The name isn't worth the $$$ in my opinion.

Hitec makes a good product for little money but they also use less than great parts which makes them a good servo and not a great one. Ask Hitec themselves and they will tell you they use lower quality parts.... how else can they offer them for less money.
