Big Torque Servos - ProModeler PDRS420BLHV 420oz Brushless servo!

[Lojik]

I started a thread about a week ago on these, those that have used them said they like them, would also like to hear a few more flight reports before risking a set shipped to AU but from what I have read so far and the companies approach to CS and sales it seems like a good combination of sensible manufacturing and no bull advertisement.

I've been a big Savox fan recently and before that was a die hard Hitex user but with the move to larger aircraft I am finding the quality of the higher end servos to be lacking, and those that offer the quality want 2 - 3 x the going rate for a servo of that stated "spec"

I hope Pro modeler do well, if there is one thing we can never have enough of.. its choice and competition, without it we would all be using the same gear one the same planes.

Using/trying them on a 50/60cc size plane is a great idea.

I can promise you that you will not be disappointed if you just give them a shot... to be totally honest I do not know why they are so cheap other than the fact that this is NOT how John makes his living, it is a side thing he does. they should not be this cheap but I did buy more at this price just to have for my next airplane ( don't let my fiancé find out I am planning on a next one)

How's the centering?

 

[Matt]

@Unbalanced, so far centering has been incredible. I was able to finally set up my beast and although not my imac plane I was able to respectably fly through intermediate with no issue and stumble my way through advanced. the servos also do not get the hitech or JR jitters. there is almost no backlash in the gears so they are super tight.

My rudder servos on my Raven are starting to show some wear (hitec 7955tg). I might try these bad boys out on it.

 

[Matt]

@Pistolera hey you saw them first hand and kind of flew the beast it was so well trimmed you know! haha

one other thing that was not mentioned that should be noted and a good selling point; made in the USA

But this is an analog servo, correct?

No these servos are digital as you would expect from a much higher priced 8711HV or the like. I doubt I would have purchased these if they were analog

I just called and asked and they are indeed digital. Confusing since only the red cased servos on his site are labeled as such.
