That's great @Hammer Down
Nobody's bashing his product. At least I didn't think so. They really are well made and have good specs/prices. It's unfortunate you happened to have had bad luck with yours. I think this was more about customer service.
I'm going to have to disagree here. I don't think this is some nickle and dime company. Anybody that's making or supplying a product for a large scale contract is most definitely buying components in large quantities and not as an on-needed basis. Below is a comment that tells me they also have...
I'm not saying ProModeler servos are bad only how their business practices have changed from years past to how they are now. They market their servos as the greatest to be made but when anything does happen it's automatically the users fault because of abuse.
Just a FYI, the stock servo (in the 1/18 mini LMT) is a SX108 micro servo that's only rated for 41.8oz. ;)
Taking a quick minute to look at either of those RC's or take a second to do some research at what it was replacing shows the Promodeler has much higher spec's and is referred to itself as...
I'm not using that servo or a LMT myself. You made a point of not having a servo saver as a reason for failure in an earlier post. I'm only pointing out that in the description it is recommended for use in the SCX24 and the TRX4m and both of those vehicles do not have a servo saver.
What about this scenario:
They do recommend that servo for SCX24's and TRX4m's in which neither vehicle use a servo saver. If it's recommended for a particular use and it breaks in that use who's fault would it be now?
When I got my DS470BLHV (standard size) a while back he answered my email...
Sorry for your luck @Hammer Down
I really wanted to get another one of their servos but as you can tell I've been looking around because of their seemingly increase in disrespect of customers.
They make some good servos but their business attitude is turning me off more and more. I remember when they recommended their 630 servo for the Xmaxx. They even offered a beam mod making it easier to drop it into the Traxxas adapter mount. Now they don't even recommend that same servo for any...
