Never heard of it before. What's the price? And what else can you get for the same money?

From my experience, I'd stay with servos from well known manufacturers like KO Propo, Futaba, JR, Airtronics... You might be luck with the blue bird, but there's quite a mechanical load on a servo, so quality matter ! And you can't read the quality-factor in any spec. Also compability might be an issue, so at least you should ensure you can retuirn the blue bird, if it's not compatible with your other equipment.

I have been using Futaba 9451 Digital servos and loved them. I have been switching to the Bluebird Servo's as I need new servo's. I currently race with 3 of them and know two other people who use them. We have never had a problem and they seem every bit as good as the high dollar servos. Here is a link to a full line of them plus only .95 S&H.

I checked out the specs and it looks pretty good. I guess you can't beat the prices too.

all i have to say is when it comes to quality, you get what you pay for. but for the price i guess they are worth a shot.

These servos are alright when you get a good one but there is a good chance you could get a dud one.

Whats the latest on these servos? I checked the link to Slick Zero and every model says "sold out". Will they re-stock?

Has anybody been using them? How do they hold up?

yes, they will restock them, i use two of these, i have a 631mg in my mf2 and a 621mg in one of my 414m2, i also have a hitec and an airtronics 357 and can not tell the difference driving the cars.
i am also a firm believer in getting what you pay for, but why should a servo cost three times as much as a standard, just cuz it goes faster... it doesnt cost more to make them, i think blubird made a decent product and priced them were they should be...after all whats in those airtronics golden gears?

I have a 621mg in my xray t1. I love it. better specs than comparable airtronics and I can buy 3 for the price of 1 airtronics.

It is fast, durable and centers well. What more could you ask for for $23.
