A lot of buzz around the hobby with this servo...anyone have any experience?

Yep. I have on in my CC01 for nearly two years. Works perfect. No issues.

I've seen some people use this for their crawlers and buggies. So far they look happy with it. I'm also planning to get one for my CC01 project. Currently, I'm using a Power HD L12HV servo on my FF03. It's a low profile servo with alloy gears, metal casing, coreless high voltage motor. Cost me $60 brand new.

I use those all the time with crawlers and trail rigs. Good servo for the money. I prefer the 13Kg one for all my normal cars and buggies.

I looked into those when I got my 8th buggy and only found good reviews. I didn't buy them in the end as the specs were not quite good enough (and the 23kg version was getting closer in price to some secondhand Futabas I picked up). A lot of people run PowerHD at my club and have done for years without issue too.

I used to use those servos as my budget crawler servo.  I now use the DS3218 for my budget crawler servo.  It's 20kg, waterproof, and comes with a metal servo horn!

 You can find them on ebay for around $15 or in packs of 4 for around $50.

Good deal! I think i'll pickup a few.

Bought one of these when I needed a servo quickly and nothing else was available locally. It's currently serving as a Super Clod Buster steering servo, and holding up fine.

anyone notice they are more or less noisy than others?

I’ve just fitted a 1501 mg, and for $30aud it’s great value, really happy with it.
