I often get much enjoyment out of reading your uneducated posts and comments about my company and I typically don’t respond to them but this time I will fill you in….
Pro Performance servos are highly advanced and were the first in our country to be able to utilize the Sanwa SXR mode,before Sanwa’s own compatible servos were even available in the states.Very expensive debugging equipment was purchased and special PCB’s were developed just for this purpose.
Why would I “threaten” to post anything pertinent as to what gives our electronics a distinct advantage for our competition only to read here,it makes no sense.
No need for any debate however since our race results speak for themselves and our equipment has been in the front of every major event in the hands of different drivers since the beginning.
But please enjoy your AGF rebranded (Fantom) servos as I personally look forward to smoking you on your home track (or any track) with the most DIALED equipment from #TheRealRaceShop

btw the new Pro Performance offroad carpet servo is amazing, new hot laps along with top 5/top 10 times tonight!

Incredible? Really? What is the draw on buying a non name brand servo that looks like it was made at the same plant as other non name brand servos and noone has ever heard of? I am not being facetious, I really want to know what the draw is on spending that kind of money on that kind of a servo. You aren't the only one who is doing it....look at all the other brands mentioned in this thread. What was it that made you get this Nitropro servo over a branded servo. It would be like me buying a Hyundai for the same price as a Mercedes. Before you bought your Nitropro servo, did you research the brand and find out something amazing......or in your words "incredible"? I did go look at these servos and they have some puurrty graphics on them. Is that what you liked about them?

"an almost incredible tale of triumph and tragedy".....That is what I was thinking reading your incredible story. So you have had servos that have failed and servos that are working great. Everyone in the hobby has had the same experience. It may sound incredulous but it's true. I hope I have captured the incredulousness of the subject. /

Some passionate people in here for sure.
I find Savox & SRT provide pretty good value for mid range servos.
For high end stuff I always go KO Propo
I've not tried them but I've had Tekin servos recommend a few times and the quality and specs looks good

Our 35kg low profile servo can easily meet those requirements, and the 35kg low profile, and 45kg are used by a number of our clients for Truggy.
Links to the specs below. The actual performance of our servos exceed our advertised specs, our 35kg actually perform at .06 seconds at 7.4v, and produces over 35kg. Links to our Speed and Torque test results below as well.

The servo 15LPBLM size is 40x20x40.5 and weight is 73 g
I compared with ans MKS HBL575 SL X6 where size is 40x23.5x23.1 and the weight is 53.5 g
The torque is similar but if you run with an 1/10 touring car the small dimensions is mandatory 440.5 x 20.5 x 23.1 mm0.5 x 20.5 x 23.1 mm40.5 x 20.5 x 23.1 mm

Yours low profile servos are not too big and heavy weight?

Seeking opinions:
I completed a new TLR 22 SCT 5.0 Vision Racing Conversion at the end of summer for the indoor winter carpet season. I typically run Sanwa PGS servos in my vehicles. So when I built the SCT I threw in the Sanwa I had on the shelf which happened to be a Sanwa PGS-XB II. I also had a new Pro Performance XTS600-HT. I won’t dig too deep into the initial, but it was heavily based on having a consistent brand in my equipment.
With that said, is it worth pulling out the PGS-XB II in favor of the XTS600-HT?
(I may eventually pull the PGS-XB II for a 1/8 eBuggy down the road anyway.)
Let the opinions fly!

For a SCT I'd want ~10kg or more of torque. I had a look at the XTS600-HT and it's listed at 236oz, which I converted to kg and that came to 6. Though that was probably an error, maybe they've mislabeled the units and it should be oz-inch. So it's probably plenty.

Problem today is that people have no experience with low power servo's. When I started 1/8 gas onroad I was running Futaba S148 servo's, a crappy analog 3kg servo. Digital servo's have a much better hold power than analog so basically a 3kg digital servo should even work better. The guys with 1/8 buggy's back then were using the more expensive 4 to 6kg servo's.
So at least 10kg for some 1/10 2wd car is still overkill.

Thanks for input. The XTS600 also has much faster transit speed than the PGS-XB II.
It does have me wonder what “true stall torque” vs “dynamic torque” means in Pro Performance market vs what Sanwa, ProTek, etc use in their specs on Amain.
