Not me.

Especially since for the same $14.00 I can get high torque metal gear digital servos that have proven to be stronger and more reliable.

Either way you are paying for Asian products...

Sure...but beginners aren't typically looking for high torque metal gear digital servos...at least not in my experience.

Those are something I shop around...high torque, coreless, metal gears, digital, etc. I have a number of higher torque Futaba Coreless servos that were in the $50-$75 range.

I can't say I'd feel too comfortable with your $14 hightorque/metal/digi. But that's just me. I can't say I'd trust the longevity...I can buy a chinese made torque wrench at Autozone for $40 or $50...or I can buy a Snap On one for $350. For the first few uses they'll most likely be equal...after a while though we all know what will last.
