- Garbage = A62BLS
- rated for 167oz-in @ 6.0V which compares to Savox 1258 rated for 166oz-in @ 6.0V
- on average I would strip a Savox 1258 gear maybe once a year
- I stripped 3 sets of gears with the A62BLS within 3 months of racing!
- Garbage = A80BHM, A80BHMW, A80BHS
- all 3 servos are rated between 389oz-in to 430onz-in @6.0V
- all 3 servos were marketed for 1/8 buggy when I bought them
- min spec in my 1/8 buggy manual calls for a servo rated 300oz-in or greater
- all 3 servos failed within 10 race days each, 2 with electrical board failure,1 with a snapped pin in gear box
- after I reported durability concerns, manufacturer changed spec from 1/8 to 1/10 recommendation
- no upgrade offered trade in the A80 servos to A81 series, no support
- this is false advertising and by definition is called a "bait/switch" sales tactic
"Garbage" to me is a very fair assessment of what AGF has to offer... I'm sitting on $240 worth of garbage that is not usable in my 1/8 buggy for which I bought AGF product for.

*** It would be a completely different story if AGF servos lasted a year or more before running into issues, but 10 race days is only 5-6 weeks of racing for me and that is not sustainable/acceptable for what they have falsely marketed.
