Bartman how did you hear of Promodeler , Military grade servos sound like they would put up with all that vibration our engines produce and it kills electronics fast . Like the 25 tooth spline , might have to try these in 2019 always looks for better equipment. Thanks Russell

credit goes to @tailskid who pointed them out. they're not a high volume manufacturer but the website makes them sound pretty good so I figured I'd give them a try. $45 each is pretty reasonable. but it isn't hard to make a website that will make the product look really good so we'll see.

Have to admit been following the Promadler servo for a couple of years. 99% of the time people love the servos and when the odd time someone had a problem they took care of it. I keep looking but have never pull the trigger hope to soon or when I build another big plane.
 
My favorite servos are Savox and MKS are pretty damn good too but the airplane is an old Hangar 9 1/3 scale Cap 232 that I paid $100 for so I'm wondering if the cheap servos have come far enough to try them again. Last time I checked, Hobbyking was selling PowerHD and they were garbage but that was like ten years ago!

Thanks!

About the plane, it's a little banged up but when I got to the guy's house I saw it had a ZDZ 80 in it. I tried to tell him to pull the engine and sell it separately but he just wanted the whole thing gone since it was in a storage locker that he bought at an auction and he had already made his money back plus profits. He was originally asking $250 and when I went to leave he asked if I'd take it for $100!

How could I say anything but :big_yes:
Bluebird servoes have been better to me than savox hightech and spectrum i have an h9 suhkoi 33% and the bluebird hls42 are great more tourqe than mks harder gears too less than half the price

If you are willing to try Bluebird servo why have you not tried Promodler servos.
