ill never lease a gloirfied corolla, or fall for emotional marketing Bill, if you need to justify your purchase than so be it, but nothing about a lexus is 50 percent more valuable than a corolla.... using the same drivetrain and unibody, so please with all due respect, i disagree yet again with this analogy, maybe agf revised the original boards and found a cheaper component set for their a81 series, none of us know if the board is improved or if its a further cost cut, not machining the motor gear boss saves time, it takes away a machining step... all i know is my servo isnt here and i think were just running in circles about quality vs cheap value chinese servos, if it lasts than its a good servo, thats all im concerned with when buying into a sub 100 dollar component, my only interest in these servos has been the ability to use SSR mode and see if it adds resolution to my mt4s for more steering "feel"
