Hands down the best rc review videos I've ever seen... 20yrs in the hobby. Would love to see the reefs smart 1100 on your test rig.

@ed0c 2 года назад

i love your energy. you seem so excited and happy in your videos. even older ones i’ve been watching. i appreciate all your information. helped me a lot when i was getting started

@PlaneFunRC 7 месяцев назад

Thank you very much for posting these videos. They are wildly helpful. I’ve been in the hobby now for 42 years and I’ve seen the progress of servos and with the advent of these standard size high torque servos, I’ve always questioned whether or not the claims are legitimate and your videos are tremendously helpful. Please continue with these videos. I really enjoy them. Please consider doing these on a yearly basis.

@robertfonseca7657 2 года назад

Good to see Hitec in the review, I have about 20 hitec servos bought over the last 20 years. They build a great servo and they back up their product with a 2 year warranty. I had one go out after 3 years and I sent if for repair. I was expecting to pay about $30.00 and they simply fixed it for free. I also like they are based in San Diego and you call them for tech support.

Your reviews are always my go to for information before I purchase a product. My latest SCX10.3 build is kind of a budget build with the 1080 esc, tekin 35t motor, amazon 35kg servo, and a Flysky GT5. I run it against a friend with a VS410 Pro with a Mamba X and 2850kv and a Futaba servo, and a Futaba 4PM. He has twice the money in his rig than I do, but i can run all the same lines he does. As always thanks for all your content.

Thanks for all of the valuable testing that you do! Could you test the ProModeler servos? I think you tested one of their more budget servos in the past but I would love to see how the higher end models compare, like the 930BLHV or 1155BLHV? Their website descriptions make them sound like a real no BS company.

@jaywill530 Год назад

For steering I don't like to drop below .08/60 deg speed. The Savox 1258TG has been the most reliable and best performing for me so far in 1/10 scale steering at 6 volt. Good to see some other options and good scientific review. Thank you.

@RCReviewChannel 2 года назад

You bet. This one was hard to do since I wanted it to be consistent with all our old servo reviews in terms of torque testing.

@galkawarrior 2 года назад

Thank you for your input and sharing this video. I own a Clodbuster and a Juggernaut, we all know how horrible their steering designs were. And imagine when they first came out, the standard servos back then were only rated around 8kg/cm if I’m not mistaken. I had a Solar Servo D772 rated at 26.5kg/cm @ 6vdc, and it still wasn’t enough to turn the wheels at a standstill even with aluminum servo horns in the axles. I now use the JConcepts BTA steering kit for the Clod, and the Solar Servo D227 rated at 13.5kg/cm @ 6vdc are enough to turn the wheels on carpet or pavement. So I could just imagine what these newer servos could do.

@RCReviewChannel 2 года назад

Oh yeah! There's the problem too where the spec sheet numbers on the servos is wrong and inflated. I have a 45kg servo right now on my Losi LMT monster truck and it's yanking those tires left/right.

@galkawarrior 2 года назад

RC Review if my servos rated at 13.5kg are enough to move the wheels at a standstill, then definitely those 45kg would throw them around easily. But I don’t think even your $200 Futaba servo could save the Clod from its flawed steering design. There are some purist out there who still uses the stock steering setup. My apologies if I’m off topic just now. So let’s get back to it, would you mind actually using the 1cm hole for those servos rated in kg/cm and the 1in hole for those rated in oz/in? I don’t remember seeing if you establish the distance of the hole to the center of the spline with the servo horn you used in the video. I hope I made sense. 😅

@BoylstonBobby 2 года назад

Great, and very helpful, review Francis. In past reviews you have always been a fan of Savox, especially their 1210 series - what happened to change your mind? I’ve been running the 1210 and 1212 based on your recommendation and have not been disappointed at all. At this point I prefer to run the 1212 (which is rated at over 600 oz at 7.4v) as a direct connect via my ESC. I know that I’m probably only pulling 350-400 in that configuration but the servos run forever configured that way. Thanks for the continued great content.

My 1210 never settles (just clicks trying to get into place for some reason). Also, really noisy!

Hey Francis, Did you ever test the Reefs 777 direct power servo. I am debating on my first direct power servo NSDRC RS800V2 or Reefs 777 to run on 3s. The NSDRC is apparently a lot slower. Was just wondering if you actually did a pull test on either one. I’ve seen your test on 555 which I then bought for a bomber, but I run Raw 500’s in my other 3 scale crawlers. They are super fast, but never did see you do a test pull on that.
