There’s only 1 “best” servo maker and it’s Promodeler.
It’s not even close.

Maybe for RC Air planes.....plastic is used primarily. Like the plastic horns usually supplied with new servos. Found in the box.I think something important should be mentioned that the guy from Promodeler said to me.
He said for bashing he recommends to always use cheap plastic horns so they will break away and save the servo.
Makse a lot of sense.
From what I can tell it's the other way around, AGFRC servos are a manufacturer and they can rebrand their servos for companies or make servo's to spec (possibly Reefs) My servo's from them have been trouble free.AGF servos are pretty good from what I have heard. They are repackaged reefs rc servos (I have heard)
I personally use the cheap amazon 35kg servo and I find it is strong enough to turn 3.8 tires.
If you don't care about size and want raw power the reefs beast 2000 is super powerful. The reefs regular sized servos are so powerful and fast when compared to standard servos
If asking for the Best Servo $money$ can buy......AGFrc
Can you run those on 7.4V? I’ve read conflicting information.DS3235 35 kg servo
Some Amazon listings for the same DS3235 servo show a lower max voltage in the specs.Yes. I do run 7.4v with some of my rigs. No issues.

For the OP
Reef's servo's are nice too. Most aftermarket brands have competent servo's once you get in the ~$100 and up range. RC review has a lot of servo tests on his YouTube channel if you want to compare more servo's.
I don't trust many RTR companies (like Traxxas) because they are always so cheap on their RTR servos and it makes it hard to want to spend big money with them when your experience with their products isn't usually a good one.

I'm 0 for 2 with the DS3235's one has a dead spot in it but it still works and the other stripped out the main gear on the motor. My DS3225's have all been great though.Working for me Yes, on 7.4v BEC.
Have 8 of them. One is almost 2 years old. Never broke one yet. Beat the crap out of them. Are they extremely precise servos? NO. I can tell the very slightest difference. I had all the Savox, Hitec and Futaba stuff. For bashing, these DS3235's are great. And more than adequate. Save your coin for other upgrade parts. Just me. If I get 2 years out of these AMZ servos, I got my money's worth and will buy more of the same. I have new spare on hand and have never needed it yet.
If I had a hole burning in my pocket I would only consider the Promodeler. And still it would be overkill for me. Just bashing and all. A Personal call ultimately.
The most important thing about servos is the way they are setup. Having the correct torque (35kg). With Endpoints set correct etc. Servo Saver setup correct also. Servos are consumable items in my opinion. User error gets the best them when bashing at some point, more for some than others. No matter the servo and how much you paid.
They are just all different Sellers. Some with no clue about servos. Bad spec listings. Just selling them. The servo is identical no matter the seller. I usually get mine from Zoskay and Animos. But got from others too. All the same servo. One Same manufacturer.Some Amazon listings for the same DS3235 servo show a lower max voltage in the specs.
But if it’s working for you at 7.4V I think I’ll give it a shot. Thanks.
99% of those sellers on Amazon have no clue idea what 99% of their products are or even do.They are just all different Sellers. Some with no clue about servos. Bad spec listings. Just selling them.

And 2 new out the box Savox 1210's got me also. Why its hard for me to recommend other $brand$ servos. I feel its safer to recommend this 3235 . servo.Yes AGF is actually an OEM, they just recently started selling their own branded servos.
Another good servo brand is Bluebird, you go on plane forums and you will see Bluebird mentioned a lot. I bought a BLS-4311
recently it is the first servo that I haven't had to mess with the trim on the radio to get the servo horn to be in line with the servo like it is supposed to be. Every other servo I have ever used is never at center when the trim is set to 0 not even Savox.
I'm 0 for 2 with the DS3235's one has a dead spot in it but it still works and the other stripped out the main gear on the motor. My DS3225's have all been great though.
I have 5 Savox servos not one of them is properly centered when set to 0 and 4 of them always make noises. Why do they make so much noise? I've had servos from JX, Traxxas, Spektrum, DS, Hitec, Arrma, Associated, Axial, Tower Pro and eBay no name servos and the Savox servos are the ones that makes noises.And 2 new out the box Savox 1210's got me also. Why its hard for me to recommend other $brand$ servos. I feel its safer to recommend this 3235 . servo.
I usually open mine up and add a bit more grease. Look it over. Most any brand servo. Sometimes the grease is just not spread onto the gears teeth in many cases.
A sign of poor manufacturing.I have 5 Savox servos not one of them is properly centered when set to 0 and 4 of them always make noises. Why do they make so much noise?

I will probably convert my aluminum servo horn to the cheapo plastic one - I like the idea and think it's good advice. Despite me making fun of it. lolYeah of course but a servo saver is dependant on the qualifications of the owner.
A seasoned RC racer I know swears by these. I was looking at them.
I don't know much about servos as I was a 80's-90's Tamiya kid and all we really used was Futaba. Now there are so many options out there! I wasn't even aware of Promodeler. They look very high quality. Lots of food for thought. Very helpful guys. Thanks!
It looks like it is.I think that’s a mini servo? I believe you need to order a standard size, Closest would be the 360 to that.
