$18/0.18/6V/83ozin/3pole ferrite/karbonite.
What's interesting is the absence of a phillips head screw and the use of an allen head!
Also 25 tooth spline like Futaba... Is Hitec going this direction instead of the 24T?

You may want to ask @Xpress. But if I remember correctly, Hitec did in fact adopt the 25 tooth spline technology. And the allen head has also recently been added. Just increasing the ever popular Hitec servos to a more appreciated and desired servo.

This is a special servo that will be exclusive to ServoCity. The only difference between the HS-485HB and the HS-488HB is the HS-488HB has a 25T spline and comes with an allen head screw.

So what you are saying is, it is the only one with 25t spline and Allen screw?

The HS-488HB servo is very similar to the HS-485HB, but the differences are:
  • 25T spline like many other manufacturers use
  • Socket head servo screw with larger diameter threads for better holding power
  • no mechanical stop in the gears
  • no mechanical stop in the potentiometer
