Great weekend for Xpert Servos:

Robert Batlle - wins Spanish Off Road Nationals Round 2

Marc Rheinard - finishes 2nd in Reedy Race of Champions Invitational Class

Travis Amezcua - finishes 5th in Reedy Race of Champions Open Class

Where did your servo help you finish this weekend? Maybe an Xpert servo could help improve that!!

Think you got what it takes to show the world what Xpert servos can do in your car, plane or heli? Xpert R/C USA is looking for pilots and drivers to be brand ambassadors. Able to show incredible control flying an advanced helicopter? Kick steer to help clear a tricky double jump and win the big event? Xpert wants to hear from you. Use the same products as World Class competitors - Marc Rheinard, Lee Martin, Robert Battle and Travis Amezcua.

Please send a resume of your accomplishments and events you have attended to [email protected] .

Deadline is Friday June 6, 2014

I don't understand the great interest in these servos. They seem a little overpriced for what they deliver. For an Xpert XPTSM-4401 $150 gets you .085 and 255 oz/in @ 6.0v. The Protek 150S is $120 for .08 @ 281 oz/in. If you want to spend a little more, the Protek 170S is $160 for .09 @ 445oz/in. All at 6.0v. Anyway, they look decent but I see better values out there.

sleddriver - biggest difference overall is that all Xpert servos are based on a brushless motor design. This will do several things for you: 1) more precise control, 2)smoother overall operation, 3) more efficient operation, 4) longer operation life at peak performance.

Yes, you can make servos have more ounces of torque, you can make them move at faster transit speeds. Those things can also tend to make vehicles more difficult to control, prove to higher failure rates and shorter operation life cycles.

There is a difference between brushless and coreless in operation - so its not a direct comparison. But thanks for noticing the product line and looking at it.

Lee Martin and Robert Battle finish 1-2 in both 2wd and 4wd classes at the European Championship warm up event in Sweden. Both drivers were using Xpert servos on their Yokomo cars. Of course, Lee was using a VTX10R speed control as well.

Just installed my Xpert SM-5401 into my Kyosho MP9/Tekno RC V4 yesterday. I can't wait to get it on the track! My 1/10 Xpert servos have been great, so I'm certain that this one will be too.

Cool

A company well know for making servos made an announcement today about their new low profile servos. 9.0 kg-cm and speed of .07 at 7.4 volts.

Interesting our PI-3431 is 10.2kg-cm and speed of .07 at 6.0v (11.2 kg-cm and .06 at 6.6v)

Didn't realize how long its been since I posted on here. Since my last post Xpert servos have TQ'd the European Championships, finished 2nd in both 2wd and 4wd - Won ROAR Region 5 Championships, both 2wd and 4wd - A Main finishes in Canadian National Indoor Championships, 4wd SC, 1/8 Ebuggy and many, many more results... good news all around.

Maybe its time to try one on for size!!!

I'm giving it a try. Hopefully it's the right pick.
