Here are a couple customer reviews about this servo -

1) unbelivable value ,but much more a
outstanding product that works better
than the park flyers standard hitec
h-55 simular size and weight ,but these
out perform the h-55 heaver gear train
and no jettering around center.quiet
great value

2) Fantastic little servo at a very affordable price. Performs very well and is extremely quiet. ** Best buy **

3) This is a great servo for electric models. Excellent torque for moving large 3D control surfaces. Nice speed, good centering and no buzzing at neutral. Recommended for speed 400 sized models.

Also, would you buy "no name" servo extensions (6 inches) for $2.99? (the extensions also have good reviews)

Thanks for your input.

RE: Would you buy these servos?
 

Personally, I would not. They may be just fine but I have been burned a time or two by "no name" RC products. At least with something from one of the mainstream manufacturers you will get some level of support. This is just my opinion of course.

If I have a few hundred dollars invested in a plane I use name brand equipment.I will not risk my investment on trying to save 4 or 5 bucks on unknown equipment,to me it is not worth the risk.

Kinda like picking your own mushrooms. You may get the good ones once in a while but the wrong one once can kill ya. Go with what you know works unless it's an R/C car or boat that will not die when the servo does.

RE: Would you buy these servos?
 

Yeah I'd buy 'em......then sell 'em on Ebay :)
