I use them in my Spark. They are VERY good.

Ola has done some testing on them too with very good accuracy noted.

Futaba also have a brushless version available. If it were me, I'd be buying the brushless version.

Regards,
Jason.

Jason,
thx for the link and the reply.
what gets me about Futaba (and i use a 12Z) is that they list the brushless version as a car servo..............is that just a quote from them saying they are ok for cars?
i'm all for buying new tech

Having raced on-road RC cars for many years, the need for a fast and accurate servo is paramount. This makes them ideal in a F3A model.

Cheers,
Jason.
