at first I thought it was a Futaba just cuz of the model number but the specs don't match.. I dunno, never heard of xpower.

Shakeymp777,

We've discussed these at our local track, they are a bargain at the price, but they are certainly not the quality item you'd get from Hitec, Futaba, Sanwa or Ace
I think the proof will be to see how they hold up during a race, no one at the club where I race has tried one. We're more focussed on the brand name servos - solely for the purpose of race results.

They could be ideal for bashing though...

the guy i have bought them from is messing me about so will have to wait a bit longer for results, i'll let u know how i get on, for the moment tho i'm running the servos that came with my spektrum dsm system, they arn't to bad tho, i think they are JR servos rebadged

Specs look similar to a Hitec 645MG, OK for steering on a 1/8 buggy but a little too slow for throttle/brake.

If they turn out to be reliable then 15 quid shipped to the UK from Hong Kong is a very fair price. A Hitec 645MG would cost twice as much.

Please let us know how you get on with these servos, good or bad.

Yes, the Spektrum DX3 kit is based on JR stuff.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. I have the Futaba s9350 in my mbx-5, and its awesome. I hope these servos work well for ya.
