MG995 servo review

[lincpimp]

So I bought two of the above listed servos, after Sike had good results. Got them off ebay, 25 bucks for 2 shipped!

Put one in my hyper7 buggy. It is powered by a chinese bec, (got it from united hobbies not sure of the brand, cost $5) set at 6v. Radio gear is a jr synth tx and rx.

This servo works really well in the buggy, plenty of power, even turning on high traction surfaces during hard braking. Seems to be about the perfect speed, quick, but not too fast to be twitchy at speed.

According to the spec it has a .13 transit time and 15 kg/cm of torque. That is right at 200 oz/in. Those are the 6v ratings and I do not think that they are over-exaggerated either.

Considering I paid less that 14 bucks per servo I think that they are a great deal. Even as a brake servo or steering on a 10th scale vehicle, they are just too cheap to pass up. I have about 45 mins on this servo and have not had any issues, glitching, hanging up, etc. I plan to run it till it breaks, but will pick up some more for my other projects.
