Need some opinions here. I have heard good and bad about Hobby King, more good then bad. Looking at the new MA today, HK has a 4 or 5 page ad, on most items we can use. Recently, I paid $114.99 each, plus postage for JR 8411 digital servos. Alloy gears, 155 oz. @ 6V. HK is advertising a digital servo, 197 oz. torque, alloy gears, @ $31.08 each, and shipping of course. HK only shows their servos in metric, so it is 5.60 KG, everything is round figures here, not splittin' hairs. I just picked out a same chl TX, everything looks the same, and the name JR is on the HK ad, $100.00 less. To me, a TX purchase for only a C note, not worth it, because of Horizons service.

Is the HK servos, where I can purchase 4 of described above, for the price I pay for one, here in the states? Is this good stuff ? Has the manufacturers given the US Distributors a certain time of lead, before they go direct, lets say from China, Saipan, Korea, or wherever ? Then it is a free for all. Is this product that is being or is discontinued from the main pipeline, and selling old stuff? Looks new and same to me, as the Horizon ads.

I have to say this. I have had the best service out of Horizon, thru the years. There were times when I sent my CC # along with my gear, and the invoice came back, at NC. Horizon has upgraded receivers for me, N/C, and has gone thru my X9303, with a small service charge. IMO, can't beat the service. I need more servos, same as the 8411's. Do I take a chance on 4 generics @ $31.08 each, X 4 = $125.00 plus shipping, or pay $460.00 plus shipping for the 4 JR 8411's ? What would you do ? This may have been talked out already, but need some opinions. Are the cheapies, JR's ? What about Dymond servos ?

Thanks for reading, and any comments.
