So, what is the next best servo, for the $$, as compared to the HS-65MG.

I have the 450 SEv2 with the 65MG and love them, but I want to build a cheaper 450 machine with more "economical" servos. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

what about the hs65hb's. i can get these at my LHS for 22 bucks a piece.. they're the same thing as the mg's except the have karbonate gears instead of metal. they might not hold up as well as the mg's but they're just as good spec's wise.

The HB is a great option, you can upgrade them later and the gears wear slower than the MG. Hitec 56 also work (not nearly as good as the hs65's)

Good point guys, I will try them out.
