Progress report:
I have been running the replacement 150s for a while now with no problems.
I have also convinced a few other racers to try them and they are also running them with no issues.
The 250t was very good just didnt seem to have the speed of the 150s but very close. Several people that drove my car with the 250t commented on how fast the servo was....lol
I am very happy with the service Amain delivered.
I plan to run Protek servos in all my cars as that servo is just Dead Sexy.....

Well ran these servo's this weekend and must say that all went good was very pleased with them . The steering servo is a little fast for me as I am new to this but time will sort that.
Thanks to A Main for the fast service

i was using the 100T on nitro truggy steering for a while and was fine. later changed to 350T and using the 100T for throttle now and its still good. im still a bit of a noob though, and was told to use higher torque than the 100T for steering and throttle

Yes. I have been running a JR 9100S for 4 years, which is about 170 oz/in and have not had any issues.

On the ProTek note, I am planning on switching both my 1/8 scales to these servos as I am planning on finally getting with the times and running LiPo RX's packs.

I have herd nothing but good things about these servos ( after the initial issues they were having, ehich wasnt many) so Im eager to give them a try

My 150s and 150t went back to amain due to failure. The new chad Bradley servos do look sweet. I believe they have ironed out all their early problems.

Best servos on the market. I run 451s in all my 1/10th scale cars and all of my 451 have run 100% flawlessly since I took them out of the package new, something like 2 or 3 years ago? (I don't recall). I can see these 451s lasting another 10 years.

Having said that, the proteks look like a lot of bang for the buck, and I would certainly run one before running one of their price competitors like savox.

The only time I have seen a servo with the shakes, was one that was on it's way out, that eventually popped. I wouldn't want to run a servo that had any kind of strange behavior like that. Why risk a DNF? Some of us spend a lot of time and money and effort placing in larger races, so it's important to absolutely minimize the chances of a DNF and product choice is part of that.

Anyone running the 100S in a 1/10 buggy? The price and specs are right in line for what I am looking for.

Also how are these things on running 6V will I need a BED like savox servos require??

my only thing with those are that they are cored. And if your looking to buy that servo, I would just get a solar d770.

I've been running a 100t for about 6 months in my stadium truck now. The servo has held up pretty good. Only thing is that it has gotten louder and for some reason the wheels are really hard to turn when the car is off, like the servo is locked up or something. But when I turn the car back on the servo works fine. I figure "eh just run it". Still think it's a good servo for the price
