I was at Mac Hodges hobbies store and he had them in stock last weekend. Give him a call. His website is

www.hodgeshobbies.com (866)924-9505

His phone number is listed and it is toll free. A great guy to deal with!

He can get them for you. $16.99 if I remember correctly. Tony Stillman's shop. He's a great r/c guy and reputable too.

200% more torque for 1 extra gram... Cheap too. Never had a problem (thought I would for the price) I'm trusting my new Built up Foam 35% Extra 300L to the BMS-380 MAX servos. Great stuff!

Hello all,

I have used the BMS-306 servos for quite a while. Only had one fail after replacing the lead wires six months ago. still havent performed an autopsy. looks like a motor quit. It was modified though so I can't put that one on Bluebird yet.

The FREE download plans in RC-Xplanes ZIP files have all been updated with a Rev1 in their title to include both A0 (841x1189mm) and Arch E (34"x44") PDF size formats. These can be printed on your plotter or at Kinkos and other locations.

Don't foreget to leave me feedback or drop me an email

Enjoy

Bud @ http://www.rcxplanes.com

Ive used the 306's and the 371's. Never had any problems with either of them. They work great. The 371's are the best in my opinion though. Lots of torque, fast, and they are see-through, so if you do ever lock one up, you can see whats wrong without having to take it out of the plane or disassemble it.

I have stripped a 306 in a crash. Even then it only broke one tooth.
