Is it fast enough etc.

There are always cheaper alternatives, but sometimes you have to look beyond the price tag and see what your really getting.

Here is a link to what i use in both my drift and TC cars, the drift car gets about 8 packs a week though it and the TC gets raced every other weekend and i have not had a servo fail yet in over 14 months of solid use.

I have never put one on a servo tester to see how it stands up to its specs, but from the reviews on HK, some have and they go pretty close. So is it as good as a Hitec or Savox? I don't know, all i know is that they are reliable and cost a fraction of the price and thats good enough for me.
