Well, that's good to know they put metal geared servos in them. But it's still a weak ass Spektrum 🤪 Yes, the Ryft is 1/10. But it weighs a helluva lot more than a 1/18 scaler, and strengths of materials and stresses applied to them would be scaled up accordingly. My point is, that is a 1/18...

That has a plastic geared servo more than likely. So yeah, a servo saver is needed. Our Ryft is big, heavy, and fast. I don't use a saver. The big plush tires absorb any impact and it does fine. Like I said, I have micros I run that I wouldn't be scared to run without a servo saver. And by the...

Oh. Are you sending it back?

I can't find any info on whether he makes his own parts, or if he outsources them. But tiny gears for a micro servo could be made in a Swiss machine for pennies. Those machines do multiple processes on multiple parts at the same time, like an assembly line. And steel is dirt cheap. Here is a...

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. It's a 1/18 scale truck with a servo with 5x the torque rating of plastic geared servos we used in much faster, and heavier 1/10 scale kits in the 80's. I have micro servos I would have no fear at all sticking in a mini LMT with no saver. The mentality...

Then I wouldn't buy them. That statement to me says "our servos are junk".

Hammer said it only took a light bump to destroy it. If the owner is going to take the mentality that every customer is a lyer, that's just bad business practices. It's not like those gears are made of gold. So it wouldn't cost the guy much at all to repair it. Much better than losing a customer...

It has 125oz/in torque with steel gears. That's definitely MORE than capable of surviving in a 1/18 scale RC with heavy bashing and a solid servo horn, that is, had it been a quality servo. And that's definitely not intended for airplane use. Servos with far less torque would have held up I'm sure.

It's good to know about their CS. I had two of their servos in my wishlist for a couple vehicles. Deleted. If it were me, I'd upload a video explaining what happened and showing their response 😁

So they wouldn't replace or repair it? That's just 💩 customer service!

Looks like a well made beast of a servo.
