Use the right tool for the job and compare apples to apples. Show me a $30 servo that has the performance of the 605... there is not one. Does it center as well as servos that cost 2, 3 and 4 times a much? No! If you want to compare top level servos then Hitec can go toe to toe with anyone. I'll put our digital coreless HS-5925MG up against any servo on the market today. I've tested them all and can tell you for a fact that there is nothing better at ANY cost. In fact the Hitec digitals have become the servo of choice for the giant scale aircraft guys whos airplanes cost upward of $8000!

As for first impressions... Did you really think a $30 servo would be as good as a $65 servo? If you were to have used the 245MG for your 1/12th then your first impression would have been much better. That is one of the things this forum is for. Ask what would be best for your application and one of us will give you our advise.
