I also dont see where Tekin List any of the things you mentioned as a selling point. No mention of response time, tolerance of gears and accuracy. The only thing mentioned on Tekin's website is the software defined features and case materiel. Can you actually prove Tekin uses better position sensors? Is it hall effect or is it a potentiometer, like all servoes use?
Second bolded part: Your going to base a savox to Tekin comparison on just the fact the Tekin has an all metal case? lulz. So should I compare 20 dollar ebay special servos to your 150 dollar Tekin? No way we should compare 2 servos based on specs, then compare pricing. /s
How about a legitimate comparison of the 1230SG to T-440? Both are very close in specs at 6v. The T-440 is rated for higher voltages, full metal case and has some cool software features, but its almost double the price.
My whole point is not to crap on Tekin stuff, I use their motors and ESC but how can they justify the insane cost when they dont really add any need to have it features. Your also going to have a mini - computer in your servo, so extra failure point and another item to program.
In the first bolded part, I was just listing additional factors for all servos that the speed and torque specs on the box don't show that have an affect on the quality and price. I never said the Tekin had better specs in all regards. I said Tekin was better than Savox when it came to the position sensor (listed as digital encoder in the specs. Savox uses a potentiometer which is inferior), are element/splash proof (listed right in the specs), and will have software updates (listed in specs). Everything I claimed was right in the specs.
Ok, then ignore the aluminum case that many people prefer because plastic ears break/wear over time. Everything else stands. Specs are similar to their $99 servos but you still can update the software, spin a full 360 degrees, have its center point be programmed at will, uses a better position sensor, can run HV, and are backed by a 365 day warranty. I find value in those options on top of the aluminum case.
The Savox servo you listed has a larger form factor. Just saying.
