to be honest with you i see more airtronics servos being sold than anything else

but that has no bearing on wether the servo is good or not,the 358 is a great servo no doubt its just that there are other servos out there that work just as well and dont cost near as much.

i hear everyone talk about how crappy hitec is,and how airtronics last forever i have owned close to 20 hitec servos now(everything from the 645-5955tg) and i returned 1 hitec for being bad out of the box.
did i get the run around about it?no the LHS handed me a new one no questions asked,i have also bought 3 airtronics servos(1-357,1-358,360) i returned the 357,358 because they were no good bad batch? maybe i hold nothing against them they were bad no biggie.

they replaced them about 3 weeks later again no biggie i love my 360 but i prefer hitec.

bottom line is comparing what is selling in the for sale section to quality is not even close to fair,if that were the case then there is a lot of junk being sold
