Cheap Servo...

[VagabondStarJXF 350]

Hey all,

I've been looking at some cheap servos for my first crawler build, DS3225 Waterproof Metal Gear High Torque, but I can't seem to find any real info about them. Does anyone on here use them? £10.99 each sounds really good to me but £10.99 on something that won't do the job is £10.99 that could've gone towards something that may be more expensive but with a proven reputation.

Any info on experience with this servo is appreciated,

J.

This is one of the cheapest reliable rebuildable waterproof crawler grade servos available:

I bought four of these DS3225 Waterproof Metal Gear servos on sale.  So far they work great.  Speed is about the same (or slightly faster, can't tell) as a standard servo one would normally purchase with a kit (Futaba S3003 and the likes).  Torque is very good.  I have one mounted in my Blackfoot and it turns those big front wheels with no problems at all.  One in my Blitzer Beetle and the same results there.  Finally, I put one in my TT-01E and its fast enough to feel as good as the Futaba s3003 I swapped it with.  As well, all the servos come back to center very well and are actually pretty darn good as far as I have experienced.
