There made by Troy Built as far as Ive read. I haave owned a few 1501MG servos and a DS 120M and never had any problems yet. I even have one thaats seen some abuse in a BIG ALL ALUMINUM E Savage with brushless on 4s and its held up very well.

Nice Find.

you'll regret it when you spend 2X as much due to being stubborn the first time, Spend the money once and forget about servo issues forever...Cheap servo's yield cheap results.

Yea! They have been running strong for me so far. One was a little noisy, but worked flawlessly! Still is about 6 months later! It beats payin $40 for a Hitec HS645MG at 125oz analog 2yr warrenty. Power HD 1501MG 215oz analog under $17 shipped from US

You know, I have had good luck with the Traxxas 2075 and the Hitech 625MG and or the 645MG. None of them are extremely fast but all work well. The Traxxas servo can be had on Ebay for $12 and the other 2 between $30 and $50. I have a lot of the servos people listed above including a couple of JR9100s, a coreless Futaba, Airtronics 94361 Rock Crusher, Orion Vortex, both the Ace 1515 and 1513....anyway, I can only really tell the difference on the track. If you're not a competetive racer who cares. These guys are full of crap. Its not like your running an 1/8th scale Truggy.

Thumbs up 2075 thumbs up

Yea, Ive never had any issue with the 2075s either. Decent amount of torque, digital, $30! TRX needs to make a metal gear set for it

(.08 sec/166oz metal and titanium gears). you can get them for less than $60! its even cheaper than Savox servos. same guys who make Savox and Orion. anyone try them out? the description talks about it is used in Helis but anyone know if you could use it in a 4wd buggy?

i reached in my pocket and pulled out two $20bills.

I'm all about the Spektrum servos in my electric stuff and JR servos in my nitro stuff. But then again, I am a Horizon junkie...
