Testing and selecting is something different than saying it is specially designed. Like some brands put Marvel mistery oil in a small bottle with an own label and dare to say that after years of devellopment they did come up with the special for RC develloped afterrun. Like all other oils and grease are original no special RC devellopped products as many other RC products.

But hey, if people are sensitive for such crap, go ahead.

testing and selecting during development is the definition of being designed

Some years ago I had a discussion with a guy who did not wanted to use Savox servo's because he finds them not reliable. But he was running the 30 dollar more expensive Team Orion VDS-1007 servo's he did trust. Funny fact, the Team Orion Servo was just a re-labled Savox 1257......

That Pro perfoemance servo is also just a rebranded servo, I think Protek. I bet they never had a hand in the devellopment of the servo.

Pro Performance definitely is no Protek and happen to be the only ones other than Sanwa to have SXR mode compatibility. Their servos are also KO HCS mode compatible which tells me that they are highly advanced

Another vote for servos from Pro Performance Rc,they are incredibly smooth and quiet and I feel so much more connected to my cars

I’ve spent the same or more on others in the past that do not compare to how they feel on the track. Money well spent on my program

I've been running the Storm S25 for throttle and steering and am very pleased with their performance. Strong and fast. Running on a lipo receiver pack.

Thanks for the feedback fellas. I had a pair of Sanwa SRG-BZX's for 2 years and they both have started twitching. It started with the steering servo, and now the throttle. I replaced them with the PGS-CX II and was not impressed. Leaning towards the Power HD's...
