On the other hand, there is nothing worse than a cheap servo that wanders, Ive had a couple of cheapies do that (they went in the bin). Quite embarassing as your car wanders left to right down the straight & getting strange looks from those watching
To be honest ,Im not that keen on using my BlueBird servo ,even though it may be 100% OK. Maybee just save all the hassles of track testing my cheaper servos & buy a Savox ?
Are the Savox 1251's still a issue free servo, in a mini ? Overkill in the mini ? Do the savox metal gears get slop after a while ?
Cheers
