I've always gone the pay for what you get route with servo's and used HS 65mg's but in a 40" foamie with large control surfaces am thinking about trying some budget ones my main concern being with large 3D surfaces if it'll strip the gears.
Ones I've been looking at are:

Does any one have experience of any of these or know of any better ones up to 12g max and do you think they'll be up to the job or will strip easily and I'd be best sticking with a better quality ??????

You want to check out Hobby city.com. (had to split name) They have a lot of servos for electric and foam with metal gears. Good service and product OK.

Has anybody tried these, looks as though they may be a half way house and possibly getting decent MG's at half the cost of Hitec 65's

Correct me if I'm wrong but Copper Gears I assume are pretty much as strong as general metal gears ????????

I can't get the link to work, but I know copper is a softer metal than others.

Don't bother trying to link to Hobby City. It won't work. They have been de-linked.

Yes, Hobby City ran a promotion that resulted in thier customers coming to RCU and spamming us with 40,50, 60+ links per post here in RCU threads. Because of this Hobby City was added to our language filters, which will keep any Hobby City links from working.

Ken;

Thanks for the explanation - it was very confusing before (why the links didn't work), but makes sense now.
