Cheap Injora servo review

[RetroThutmose]

I have used some Injora branded stuff for crawlers, like mico servos and brass parts and i think they offer great value for money. I was building a couple of off road 2wd buggies at the time and i think these low profile servos were relatively new from them.

Since i was happy with their other products and these were dirt cheap i bought one to try out and see how it holds up. I have some pretty decent Savox, spektrum, powerhobby, etc. servos in various rigs but this is by far the cheapest 10th scale servo. I ended up only racing a couple times with the Injora in a 2wd buggy and moved it over the a 2wd slash based oval car. Oval racing is a lot of fun and there are some pretty bad crashes and hitting the walls with open tires at full speed is probably not good for servos. This injora has held up to everything thrown at it. I've got probably a thousand laps and counting with this servo and it works flawlessly racing almost every Thursday night and sometimes Saturdays. It's also lighter than a full size servo so that might give me a tiny advantage in weight distribution. For this class the rules say the servo must be $50 or cheaper and this is my best servo per dollar spent in my fleet by far.

Servo in the black camaro but was also in a 12t mud boss prior to that for about 6 months.

Thanks for sharing your experience with these. I have had very good luck with Injora products. nice to know others have had similar experiences.

I broke my second injora servo. Installed one on a new to me b74.2 and did a night of club racing. Was racing in two different classes with the same buggy to get some track/wheel time. Had a tumble landing on another buggy at the landing zone of the triple and servo no want to turn anymore. I will tear it down later and share the pics of what went wrong when I get a chance.

Edit: I guess I didn't share the first one breaking, but that was driver error. Kid drove it into a solid object full speed and I don't think any servo would have survived.

Do you still have the gears/servo, or did you throw it/them away?

I still have it. Was thinking of using it for shelf queen or static model.

I was just curious if ALL gears were some sort of steel.

One servo I had the specs said, "all metal gears". After putting a super strong magnet into the equation, I found out one or more (I don't remember) of the gears were not attracted to the magnet. I 99% sure titanium was not used in the making of the gears so that leads me to believe aluminum was used. The servo outlasted more than I expected it to do, and replacement gear sets are $5 and change.
