I've just put some savox 1251 and 1256 into my losi 8ight 2.0 rtr and eu. They seem to be wicked fast and responsive.

+1 on the Savox servos, they're great.

I have been hearing alot of good things about savox, titanium gears is very attractive!
Although someone i know got the 0251 and it s**t itself first day, call it bad luck heh.

I like the sounds of the 1256 for my steering.

You have that chance with ANY given product. Especially electronic devices, which are subject to fail. My wife and I buy identical phones every two years, she has the luck of getting the one that doesn't work right half the time, while i get the good ones. I bought an ESC from a friend a few months ago, it was a brand new one sent as a warranty. It didn't even power up.

It's not a name brand thing, it's an electronic thing.

I agree with savox just installed in my revo after the twin servo went.

I agree strongly! I will definately be putting that servo on order and use the mock ups as back ups

I worked in electronic retail sales management for 5 years and it's my experience that about 5% of all electronics will die right out of the box or shortly thereafter. It didn't matter much about the brand, but I did notice that the pricier (higher quality) items were usually less prone to failure.
