RE: Servo's
Sorry Ken... not so......
These ARE great servos for the price.
I'm using them ( the digital versions ) on my Giant Scales 50cc'ers UP and you'll find many others who are too.
Centering, speed, holding power is all very good. I've tested them to their rated specs.
They have good U.S. reviews as well

They are so good that many big name U.S. distributors have picked them up. You'll also find them for sale all over the U.S. ( Google search )
Places like Troy Built and others sell and warrant them, which is in itself a testimony to their use and reliability.
These local companies would have a hard time dealing with returns, crashes and consumer complaints otherwise.
I have seen a couple of posts from Heli Guys complaining about the digital versions being loud, but that's about it.
Some of the RCUniverse "old timers" are all too quick to dismiss low prices, should first TRY the things in question before dismissing them.
DaRock and I got into it when he did likewise. ( Though I tend to agree with most of his posts... )...
Conversely things that are cheap CAN be JUNK too, so you have to be careful both ways.
I've had the most servo failures with Hitecs than any other brand ( including the cheapies ).... but I'm not saying that Hitecs are bad...
As the definitions say:
Fallacies are arguments that may sound logical, but are not.
Appeal to riches (argumentum ad crumenam): The fallacy of believing that money is a criterion of correctness; that those with more money are more likely to be right, or that something that costs more is intrinsically better.
"Microsoft software is undoubtedly superior; why else would Bill Gates have gotten so rich?"
“It costs twice as much it must be twice as good!”
"You get what you pay for!"
