Neu/Castle Hitec BL Servos?

[BrianG]

Is this for real? I saw this today on Facebook, and suspecting yet another tedious April Fools prank, went to the Hitec website for verification. But, it looks like this was posted on their news from Feb of this year: http://hitecrcd.com/blog/?cat=3

Not only are they using Neu/Castle components (I assume motor and controller), they run at 800kHz, use much less current (claiming 1/5 the power of a similar power/speed servo), and they use a magnetic encoder instead of the typical pot.

If this is real, it's sweet! Tear one of these apart and use the motor/controller parts as the drive system for a micro scale vehicle.

If it's yet another Apr 1 prank, then
