Sorry, misleading, I was merely quoting "typical" minimum TC specs, not the specs of that servo in particular!

I think you are right for the moment. Means they can be used for either. But if you have one and get get more performance at higher voltage, surely would look to take advantage at some stage?

Power star PM-1610. Brushless, full metal case.
And how have you wired it?

Its great, quite similar to a 551, and come nitro season, I can run lipo rx packs on them.
Yep, seems very similar specs to (my) 551, just more torque if you run it at HV

Ah, there we go, they are coming. I think this will start to be more common....

Yep, you can do that, but servo performance - and likely your driving lines - will change dramatically from start to end of the run as the voltage of your main pack drops. That would be crap.

If a servo can make the same speed, have more torque, but be more reliable, fit in a smaller, lighter case and use less power - would you consider it?
Oh, but it has to run at 7.4V......

"Only" logic to you maybe.
Get used to all the big brands only having HV options at the top end of their ranges.
"Best" is also very subjective. On paper is one thing. Real world is often another.
