Default Servo

Can anyone tell me is the TowerPro 9g servo's are good for a Trex clone?
I am looking for three cyclic servos under $10 each.

Any suggestions?

They will work. They won't work well. Go with the HS-65 that everyone uses. They are about $25 each. You will save over the long run. The helicopter will do what you tell it to do vice always chasing the trim and riskng a crash.

+1
If you can afford it go with the 65mg's
They will take crash after crash and just keep on working

I am looking for a really cheap set that will fix in the trex frame.

I am running the TowerPro 9G on my HDX 450. They are ok. Not as precise as the HS65 but they work ok.
They do tend to strip easily but are not a problem as long as you avoid overly hard landings.

Yes, as Missileman said. I run the tower pros on my two helis and while I'm sure they are not HS65s they do work well for me and yes they fit the trex clone frames.

I have heard great things about the EXI 450.
It was only $99, with freeshipping.

Looks the same as the Trex version and apparantly is compatable with trex parts.
All I want is for is a fuselage for slow ff and hovering.
