What Servo from Amazon turned out to be the better than you expected for the price and power?

[Compound101]

Hi Guys,
I was wondering about those off brand servos on Amazon. Who here has tried them, model number, Brand, Amazon Link. Figure it would help out everyone on here. Cause getting a descent Servo for messing around, bashing, Back yard running or replacing our busted up servos would help out and save a lot of us some bucks. Just Wondering..

every one I have purchased from amazon as long as it has steel gears and correct kg amounts.I've purchased no less than 15 servos

I have a couple of the 25kg servos (blue) and 3 of the 35kg servos (red). They have all done fine in the rigs I have tried them in. Nothing to write home about, but they get the job done for sure. It would take some digging to find the seller I actually bought them from, and a couple at least were bought on ebay, but if you just search Amazon for the 25kg or 35kg servo, they should be near the top of the list.

Other cheap ones I have used for my 1/16 stuff that have done well is JX brand micro servos. They were like $10 a piece or so when I bought them, but I have had good luck with them.

The Tekin servo I just got though... holy hell. That thing is in a league all on its own

Other than that, I tend to stick with Savox or Hitec anymore. But I have seen some of the Hitec stuff has had some negative feedback on other forums. My experience with them has been fine though.

How much are those Tekin Servos? just curious. I hear the JX servos are pretty good. Looking at those also. Thanks for the info.

I use these for 2WD buggies and on road cars: https://www.amazon.com/SunFounder-W...&rps=1&sprefix=200kg+servo,aps,81&sr=8-7&th=1
These for 2WD SCT's: https://www.amazon.com/SunFounder-D...1&rps=1&sprefix=25kg+servo,aps,97&sr=8-3&th=1
and these for 4WD stuff: https://www.amazon.com/INJORA-Servo...&rps=1&sprefix=35kg+servo,aps,103&sr=8-2&th=1

All of my stuff is 1/10TH, and those work very well for them.

Those Red Animos DS3225MG servos, I seriously have like 6-7 of them. I don't think I am going to buy any more of the blue DS3235s as I am 0 for 2 with those.

I am almost ashamed to say - $169.99. But dayum, they are the nicest servo I have ever seen. 502 max oz/in torque at 8.4v, and .11 sec/60 @8.4v is not too shabby either. And they are gorgeous! Hell, the packaging alone is impressive

They must have changed things since I bought mine years ago. All my 25kg ones are blue, and the 35kg are red. Weird.

I would try BETU servos on Amazon I’m going to get some soon

That's awesome. Good to know what size rc your using. 1/10, 1/8, 1/7, 1/6, 1/5 scales. I over looked that. Ty

I can appreciate high quality servos. It's better to let everyone on know what's out there. From a cheap quik replacement to help out everyone in the hobby, to the higher end servos. Which realy show case, just why they cost as much as they do. Great example and pictures! Ty

Well I like the FeeTech 35 Kg (FT5330M) torque: 28.8kg cm/400.65oz .in (6.0v) 35kg.cm/493.86oz.in (7.4v) Speedo,238sec/60degrees (6.0v) 0,192sec/60degrees (7.4v) size A:55mm B: 20mm C: 43mm. Pulse width modification digital servo. Its fast and strong I run mine straight off the receiver at 7.4v with no issue using a HW 1080 esc.

If you look around enough at different online stores, you can get the 20KG, 25KG and 35KG ones i use, under different brand names, in red, blue, and sometimes other colors. If you want to wait weeks to get them, you can get them in black, green or white from Aliexpress and Banggood, but you have to search for them to find them.

The 25kg and 60kg are referring to the torque the servo has. The higher the number the better.

Thought I would give another blue one a chance, I am not 0 for 3. All of my red ones are still kicking and I even added more to my collection.

For me it’s been the flash hobby direct power 60kg. I put one in my scx10.2 based build and then I put one in my sendero hd. Not super fast but very strong, there’s a guy on YouTube that tests the brand and this one gives you more ounces per dollar and actually over performs. It strips 2 of his aluminum horns because he didn’t clamp them down.
Non amazon, I stick with nsdrc. The direct power rs500b is $60 and fantastic. Next one on my list is the rs400 low profile
