Brought a 130t and 130ss emailed amain with jittering issues on the 130ss had no reply servo done 3 race meetings and stopped completely inspect thinking I stripped a gear as was jammed solid gears are mint and a scorch mark under motor. Don't recommend them if you are international as amain doesn't seem to care if you aren't local

I must say that has been far from my experience as an international customer of AMain.

What email are you writing to?

Also, try the online chat. I've found the guys on the end of that very helpful.

There is also a thread dedicated to Amain here and the customer service guys are quite active in that.

Budget racer here.
I was curious to know if the 100T would be a good choice for a RC10T5m (stock racing).
Thanks for the help.

2. Test, test, test until every single team driver was 100% happy with each servos performance.
3. Assure durability for a minimum of 1 year. We had 0 failures during this testing period!
4. The ability to offer the entire servo line at unmatched pricing.

We achieved all of our goals and are extremely proud of the project. We stand behind anything we sell and we hope you all enjoy them. If you have any questions about any ProTek products my information is in my signature.

This seems to be happening more and more with the 100 and 130 series. I (knock on wood) have not had any issues with mine sofar.

Protek 150 and 160t are great. Super smooth and fast. But having an issue with Exotek and AE 25t servo horns coming lose.anyone experience this? A lot less with loctite but eventually develop some play more vertically in back and forth rather than side to side . Anyone else?

I highly recommend using the clamping horns. Exotek and Protek both offer them for AE cars specifically. HERE

It would be fine but I'd suggest the 100SS over the T. The T is a bit slow. The torque is more than enough on the 100SS for a 2wd ST truck.

Your radio settings simply need to center the servo before placing the horn. Then set your EPA or Travel to assure your servo is getting the proper left and right travel while not over travelling which is often the single biggest reason for servo failure.

I have 2 Exotek clamping horns that are giving me a little wobble backwards and forwards. You happen to know the length of the screw needed? Perhaps that could be a culprit

The 170T's are getting it done in the buggy, and the 100SS is still rocking in the Buri Racer! 150T has also been holding on in the E-truggy. Run them all on 6V BEC.

I always use the Protek clamping arms, never have tried another servo Arm / Horn. Run the protek 3x12mm set screws, with a washer and locking nut, not once have i had servo arm issues! I tighten first, then clamp, then loosen the 3mm locknut, recheck the clamp, then final tighten the locknut.
