Que va!
I'm using the SG-50's which are $25 (not US) micro servos comparable to the Hitec 55's and the Pico's. They work, and hasn't turned its back on me, but I can't really judge its long term life as I have only been using it for a week or more. It seems a good servo anyway. It's like $8 cheaper than a 555 and a Pico BB.
Luck?

If your only spending $16 for a new servo, than you are probably getting what you pay for. Good luck to all of you.
I like the good old JR 517. No longer made, but I find them "like-new" for $20-25 all the time. I suppose I pay too much...
