They are just re badged Savox/Align servo's but twice the price. I have been using the Align version of the 12kg and they are great, they are a bit noiser but alot lighter than my previous ACE servos but cheaper here in the UK.
UK prices are
ALIGN only go up to 12kg and don't do the 20kg version but all that is required is a 20kg gear set to be put into the 12kg version.

ORION VDS-1409 £75
SAVOX SC1258 £55
ALIGN DS610 £43

For the same servos

Around here the Savöx and Orion servos are about the same.
I'm running the Orion 1007 on the throttle and i'm more than happy with it.

damo666: I believe that Orion is the only one available in the US.

Im using the Savox and so far soo good. Been running them atleast once a week.. and for about 1 n'half Month's... And had 0 issues as of yet. Alot of the local racers at my track are using them, as as John Hazlewood Top Uk driver races there and uses them.. but yea.. I really like mine.. its just now how long they will last.. compared to other's in the same £ Bracket..

I've got 2 semi-new 2015's I've been thinking about selling. I got them with a truck I bought and don't really have a need for them as I'm a Hitec loyalist.
